General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

New York Central Railroad Company v. Goldberg No. 256 Argued March 20, 1919 Decided May 19, 1919 250 U.S. 85
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
Under an interstate bill of lading providing that the owner or consignee shall pay the freight and all other lawful charges on the property, and that if, upon inspection, it is ascertained that the articles shipped are not those described in the bill, the freight charges must be paid upon the articles actually shipped, held that an innocent misdescription of the goods, placing them in a class entitled to a lower rate under the carrier’s filed schedules merely imposed upon the shipper or consignee an obligation to pay freight charges according to their true character, and did not affect the liability of the carrier for a failure to deliver, there being no clause exempting the carrier or limiting its liability in case of such misdescription.
164 App.Div. 389, 221 N.Y. 539, affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
