Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law Relating to the Carriage by Land of Passengers, Animals, and Goods
IN the preparation of this volume the aim has been to present, within a reasonable compass and in non-technical language, a general survey of the law relating to carriage by land. While it is true that the book is intended primarily for the information of the layman rather than for the lawyer's library, yet it is thought that the extensive reference to authorities for the main propositions of law will make the volume of use to the business man's legal adviser, to Bar Students and Articled Clerks, and especially to the large and ever-increasing number of students attending the Com mercial Law Classes at the great Polytechnics and other similar educational institutions.
Some knowledge of the law of carriage is essential to all engaged in commercial pursuits or in preparing for legal examinations; and it is hoped that such knowledge may be sufficiently furnished by this volume, which will also help to solve many of the problems that confront the ordinary traveller in connection with the obligations of the carrier as regards _his person and his luggage.
For the purposes of reference, the most important statutes connected with the subject - the Carriers Act, 1830, the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854, and the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888 - are set out in the Appendix.
