Continuing his arguments from the previous hearing, that there was no case for the defence to answer, Mr. Patter said there was not a bit of evidence produced by the plaintiff's in their allegation. The intiff's had alleged that the defen- dapts had made .statement in the bills of lading that the goods were shipped from Caulon and Hongkong in a river steamer, recklessly and carelessly, without knowing or caring whether it was true or not. They hnd failed Lo establish that Mr. Carpenter, of the defendant firm, who signed the bills of lading, hnd made the statement fraudulently.
"I submit with the utmost con- Sidence," continued Counsel, "that there is not a bit of evidence in sup- port of such an allegation. If yours Lordship left this point to the Jury and they found in the plaintiff's favour, the Court of Appeal would reverse that decision in five minutes," Replying for the plaintitis. Mr. Sheldon said the case for his clients was that the statement was made recklessly and carelessly, without re- frard to its truth or falsity. If the river were shipped by goods steamer, there should be a mate's receipt, but the defendants had failed to produce it.
Counsel went on to say that there was no suestion of deliberate fraud on the part of the defendants. The allegation was that they had acted recklessly and carelessly in making that statement.
