It was for parsons claiming special damages to prove their casu, and to prove that the special damages were the result of the conduct of the person from whom they were cloiming. It was clear that the sharter had not proved their special damages by simply putting in a receipt for $770, the amount claim od. It was obvious that they intended to prove by this ceipt that the Victoria was not a first class risk, but they were board by the law of evidence, and there, was nothing in the receipt to show that the Victoria was not a first class rick.
