Samuel Freeman Miller,
The Convoy's Wheat/Opinion of the Court…
“ The testimony is clear, that at Port Colbourne there is an elevator belonging to that railroad company, and that it is the only one; and that there is no other warehouse or receptacle in which the wheat could be stored. The course of the trade demands that wheat shipped to Port Colbourne must go through that elevator, and if the vessels making delivery are so numerous that it cannot relieve them promptly, they must await their turn. The master of the vessle must be held to have made his contract with a full knowledge of this course of trade, and be governed by it. ”
