The court found as fact that the Plaintiff did not consent to release, the presentation rule applied to the straight bill of lading, and the Defendant, as a paid cargo delivery service, was not an involuntary bailee entitled to evade liability; by obtaining and dealing with the cargo without the original bill or written consent the Defendant wrongfully interfered with the Plaintiff's goods and is liable for US$110,385.07 plus interest and costs.
