Straight bills of lading issued in Set A were documents of title requiring production before delivery; defendants delivered without production and thereby breached the contracts of carriage and committed conversion; clause 2 of the bills is ambiguous and does not clearly exclude liability for the misdelivery in these circumstances; accordingly the appeals are allowed and damages awarded to plaintiff in the specified sums.
