FIKST NAT. BANK OF LACON V. BENSLET. 611 �Cuily and the station agent at La Rose, in the absence and at the time without the knowledge of Buckingham, the stock was consigned to McOully and the bill of lading made as before stated, but with the understanding that, on its arrivai in Chicago, McCuUy should turn the stock over to Bucking- ham, or to his commission agent. �The stock shipped by Buckingham & Bro. from Lacon, October 12th, was forwarded under bill of lading running to A.
