charged

The ship's duty, he considered, was ful filled when it had put the timber over the side in a position in which the consignees could receive it. For all the work beyond the point the consignees should pay. Lord Justice Scrutton said that under the contrast did not fulfil their the shipowners obligation by putting the timber in a pisco where it could be so manipulat ed by the men in the waggons. The ship really undertook to deliver into waggons at Garston, and by the true constriction of the contract, the cost of this work was the ship's cost. That view, he considerei, was forti- fed by the fact of the agreement made for the apportionment of dis- charging costs, which were to be up- portioned between the shipowners and the consignees on the Mersey- side and elsewhere.

The appeal was dismissed.
