    JONES v. NEW YORK CENT. & H. R. R. CO.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.
    March 10, 1903.)
    Action by W. Martin Jones against the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company.
   PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff’s exceptions overruled, motion for new trial denied, and judgment ordered for the defendant upon the non-suit, with costs. Held, that although the plaintiff made a contract with defendant through its agent, West, for the through carriage of his horse, which his agent, Spence, was not entitled to change, still the latter had authority to make a contract with the defendant providing for the service of notice of any claim; that plaintiff failed to comply with the provisions of the bill of lading upon this subject, and is thereby barred from maintaining this action.
