.....the trade, the weight entered in the bill of lading is a weight ascertained or accepted by a third part other than the carrier or shipper and this fact is so stated in the bill of lading."- Gazette of India. 1925, Part V, page 37. REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE The following report of the Joint Committee on the Bill to amend the law with respect to the carriage of goods by sea was presented to the Legislative Assembly on the 31st August 1925:- "We the undersigned Members of the Joint Committee to which the Bill to amend the law with respect to the carriage of goods by sea was referred, have considered the Bill and the papers noted in the margin and have now the honour to submit this our Report, with the Bill as amended by us annexed thereto.

It is clear from the opinions received that, contrary to the English practice, bills of.....

Carriers Act, 1865 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1865

It was, in fact. long supposed in England that. while a carrier could by contract relieve himself from most of his liabilities, his power of doing so slopped short of liability for negligence or misconduct. Such is the view of the law taken by Mr.Justice Storey in his "Commentaries on the Law of Bailnients" section 549. and such is under stood to be still the law in America. But a series of decisions in the English Courts overturned the older doctrine, and it was settled that a carrier could, by a properly framed contract, deliver himself from liability even for misconduct or negligence. The liberty thus conceded was. however, found to be a practical evil and the English Legislature intervened by 17 and 18 Vic.. Cap 31. The nearly contemporaneous enactment of the Indian Legislature, embodied in Sec. XI of Act XVIII of 1854. is obviously aimed at the same object. It seems very undesirable to adopt the rule contained in section VII of 17 and 18 Vic. Cap. 31. which permits companies to contract themselves, on certain conditions, out of their.....
