DAMAGED APPLES
SHIPPING CO. TO PAY. (Rec. May 13, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 12. Judge Beazley, in the County Court at Hull, gave judgment in favour of White and Sons, on a claim in respect to damaged apples carried aboard the Hobson Bay in 1931. This was a test case, and it is likely to go to the Appeal Court. Defendants pleaded “inherent vice” in the apples. The Judge found that the fruit was sound when shipped, but was carried in an uneven temperature, constituting “failure, to exercise due care in custody of the s cai-go.”
