REED, Appellant, v. ERIE R. CO., Respondent.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
June, 1901.)

Headnote

Action by Robert R. Reed against the Erie Railroad Company.
R. R. Reed, for appellant. Stetson, Jennings & Russell, for respondent.

The contract of transportation between the plaintiff and defendant was fully performed by the latter when the plaintiff’s trunk reached its destination and he was advised of its arrival, whereupon he voluntarily surrendered his check to the station agent. Whatever may have been clone thereafter in the way of procuring an expressman by the agent was for the plaintiff’s convenience, and in no way imposed any liability upon the defendant. Judgment affirmed, with costs.
