This suit was brought for the recovery of damages to certain corn delivered at Saint Louis, Missouri, to a steamer, in apparent good order, to be conveyed by the steamboat to Memphis, and thence by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and other connecting roads, to LaGrange, Georgia. The corn was delivered to the plaintiffs, who were the consignees, at LaGrange, but was badly damaged. Suit was brought against the defendant, on the allegation that defendant was the last company which received the corn in good order, and was consequently responsible for the damage.
