Description
This appeal is from a judgment holding the Keystone Motor Freight Lines liable, as a connecting common carrier for hire, for the value of a shipment of cigars which ws stolen from it, due to no negligence on its part, before delivery to the consignee. The Keystone contends that it was not a connecting or delivering carrier; that a tender of delivery had satisfied the "due diligence" burden upon it if it was a connecting or delivering carrier; and that the lower court committed reversible error in permitting the introduction of evidence to show local custom or usage in the business hours of the consignee when the bill of lading fixed the liability of the carrier in possession as at common law.
