It was admitted by the defendant that he had received one of the notices and an advice not informing him of the arrival of the goods … … Mr. Pinsent said his contention was, firstly that the company were entitled to make this claim as warehousemen, irrespective of statutory authority, and secondly that if they were not so entitled as warehousemen, they were entitled as carriers under the second part of the 63rd section 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 204, which gave them power to charge for “any other services incidental to the business and duty of carriers”. …
