lading is evidence of its special and unusual nature, and evidence that it is not intended to apply generally whenever the existence of an except- ed peril has been the cause of non- delivery.

Nor again in my judgment can the defendants rely on either 9 or 16 of the printed conditions. It is common ground that the ship turned back owing to the existence of an excepted peril, namely the unsafe condition of the port of Swatow, and that in the circumstances the captain was justi-. fied in landing the lorry at the nearest safe or convenient port, to-wit Hong Kong, but in such a case all that the said conditions, as I read them, allow as chargeable to the shipper is the cost of discharging or landing the lorry in Hong Kong.

For these reasons I am satisfied that the Plaintiffs are entitled to succeed in their claim for the return of the back freight which, they paid under protest and I give them judgment with costs.
