Description
Thomas J. Peters instituted an action at law in tort against the Florida East Coast Railway Company, a corporation, for damages alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff by reason of the negligent delay by the defendant in the transportation of thirty carloads of crate material over the line of the defendant from Jacksonville to Peters Siding, on the line of the defendant, within the State of Florida, which had been shipped to the plaintiff as consignee. As is stated in the brief filed by the defendant, which is concurred in by the plaintiff: "The second amended declaration (Tr. pp. 2 to 90), being the one on which the case was tried, is in thirty-one counts. The first thirty counts are each drawn with reference to a single shipment, each of the thirty shipments being declared on in like manner in the first thirty counts. The last, or thirty-first count, is drawn to include all of the shipments. The scope of the declaration may determined, therefore, by an examination of the first and thirty-first counts."
