»»J. H. Bentley v. L. & N. R. ﬂo.—~
Letaher Quarterly Court.
Horowitn pleano find Freight Slain Agent Sager's
filo {95714zvlﬁ} containing papers covering his inventigﬁ» '
tion of the above—mantioned case, which is a suit to recover
$34.32 as tho value of oidor alleged to have been lost from
, a shinmont ﬂowing from Knnxvillﬁ, Tennessee, to Fleming, Ken»
tacky, oonsignod to Bentley.
If the plaintiff is willing to settle this case
at $13.88, the value of the cider actually lost, plus $1408.
ovorcharge, that amount will be naid. If he does not see
fit to accept this proposition, than, I think the case should
be tried out.
A8 you will one, we can nrove, by the teatimony of
the shipper, that only six Regs of cider were forwarded from _
Knoxville, and the bill of lading calls for only six Regs.
Owing to a mishandling §g_ggnt§, the consignment had to be
rehandled at Corbin, and there a miatake was made,-the bill

-vs- Petition.
Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Co., ---—--—----~---—2g£§.
The Plff. J.H.Bentley, states that some days, prior to Sept.‘
12, 1916, he caused to be delivered to the Left- Louisville & $
_ hashville Railroad Co. a common carrier, 6 kegs of cider and one 1
- box of glass to be shipped by heft. to Fleming, Ky. a station on
Defts. line of road, that Deft. received same, thereby agreeing
to deliver same in good condition at Fleming, Ky., but it failed
I to do so, it it lost one keg and never delivered it, at all, that
' one keg was empty, therefore worthless, and one keg one-third
empty, that said cider cost Plff. and was worth, $9.60, per keg,
that the 2 1/3 kegs lost by deft. was worth $22.40, Twenty-two
dollars and forty cents, that Blaf was forced to pay the freight
. 1 on all of said cider in order to get the part not lost, which
i was 83 cents per keg, that Plff. therefore paid y1.93 freight on
J the cider which Deft. did not deliver, that Deft. is therefore i
; indebted to Plff. in the sum of Twenty-four dollars and thirty E
[ three cents. g
Wherefore Plff. prays jungent against Deft. for the sum i
of $24.33 and his costs herein expended. ’
