The Harter Act And Its Limitations, I. L. Evans

Michigan Law Review

Prior to 1893 vessel owners attempted to limit their liability by inserting restriction clauses in bins of lading. These stipulations were recognized and upheld by the English courts, but not to so great an extent by the American courts. This attempted limitation of liability by shipowners led up to the passage of the so-called "Harter Act," February 13, 1893.

The Reasons For Some Legal Fictions, Sidney T. Miller

Michigan Law Review

In this age of fact, fancy is at a discount. Consequently legal fictions, which required the play of some fancy in their beginning, have fallen not only into disuse but also into disfavor. Many of them, however, have done good work in the past, and some are doing it now. Therefore it may not prove uninstructive to consider some in a discursive way. A legal fiction is probably best defined as "a legal assumption that something is true which is, or may be, false-being an assumption of an innocent and beneficial character, made to advance the interests of justice."1 From …

Contract Limitations Of The Common Carrier's Liability, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

When Mr. Justice Nelson, in the New Jersey Steam Navigation Company v. Merchants' Bank, speaking of the power of a common carrier by special agreement to restrict his obligation, said for the court: "We are unable to perceive any well founded objection to the restriction," he opened the way for an amount of litigation which, in volume and expense, both to carriers and shippers, scarcely finds its equal on any other question. The Supreme Court of North Carolina was well within the limit when it said: "The right of a common carrier to limit or diminish his general liability by …

The Influence Of Physical Features Upon The History Of Rhode Island, David W. Hoyt A.M.

Library Archive

To affirm that the physical features of the State of Rhode Island have influenced its history is not to deny that the character of its early settlers has exerted an equal, or perhaps a greater influence. It would ill become one who has made a special study of genealogy to ignore the fact that heredity affects the history of a state. If he were inclined to doubt the fact in general, there are too many evidences of that influence in this State to be overlooked. But, at this time, that branch of history is not our topic.
