Gen. No. 41,052. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed July 2, 1940
CARRIERS, § 228 — reconsignment, liability for freight charges. Where defendant broker, to whom a carload of grapes had been diverted, in turn diverted shipment to a third party at a point beyond the original destination, he thereby accepted services rendered and benefits conferred by carrier, and became liable to carrier for all transportation charges, and lower court improperly gave plaintiff railroad judgment only for charges accruing beyond point of diversion.
See Callaghan's Illinois Digest, same topic and section number.
