N. S.. 417, 36 L. T. N. S. 130, 25 Week. Rep. 475_, 3 Asp. Mar. L. Cas. 248) the plaintiff, an Englishman, entered into a contract with an English railway company, at their office at Boulogne,, for his conveyance, via Folkestone, to London. The plaintiff's baggage- was lost on the channel through the defendants' negligence; and the de- fendants sought to evade liability by setting up a condition on the back of the ticket exempting them in such cases. If the exemption had been held good by Engli...sh law there would have been a conflict with the' law of France, by which it would have been bad. The exemption, how- ever, was held to be bad in England,, and therefore the conflict did not arise. But the opinions of several of the judges tended to the conclu- sion that England, as the seat of the- company's office, and the site of its corporate existence, should supply the dominant law; though Brett, L.. J., intimated that if the starting- place had been Paris instead of Bou- logne, the French law would be held to prevail in that part of the Jour- ney which was to be accomplished in France.
