' Having received the bill of lading signed^ you have a document to which the custom of merchants for centuries has attached a very particular signifi- cation. In the great case of LicJcharrow v. Mas...on {h) (a case dealing with stoppage in transitu), a special jury found the custom of merchants with regard to bills of lading ; LicJcbarrow v.
