1Opinion of the CourtSayre, J.
Plaintiff Brown took two trunks and miscellaneous household goods to defendant’s agent at its depot at Aragon, Ga., and received a bill of lading for the transportation of the household goods, nob including the trunks, to Stevenson, in this state. Plaintiff’s intention was to have the trunks carried as baggage, and he so notified the agent. But, when he went back later in the day to get his ticket and have the trunks checked to Stevenson, the agent informed him that the trunks had gone forward by freight. Plaintiff made demand for his trunks at Stevenson, but they have not been delivered.
