(charging jury). Whether Lancaster or Kerns was the real owner of this coffee, does not appear; and in this case, is immaterial.

But there is no question, as to the defendant's liability to comply with his bill of lading to the plaintiff. - If, as a stake-holder, he thought proper to deliver the property to either of the contending parties, he no doubt took care to be indemnified; and whether or not. he is bound by his contract with the plaintiff. Your verdict, therefore, must be for the plaintiff.
Verdict for plaintiff.
