But irrespective of the true meaning of "leakage" the Judge found the master of the ship guilty of culpable "negligence by stowing such a quantity of chloride of lime with other goods liable to be damaged by its action, either in form of gas, or in form of that being the amount of damage he liquid," and gave a verdict for $180.25, considered the plaintiff had sustained..
