No. 22,049.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John Stelk, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1916.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed March 20, 1917.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction in replevin by W. B. Crane and O. F. Crane, trading as W. B. Crane & Company, plaintiffs,.against Tooker Storage & Forwarding Company, defendant, to recover lumber which plaintiffs shipped from a foreign State to themselves in Chicago. From a judgment for plaintiffs for possession and nominal damages, defendant brings error.\nThe initial carrier deviated from plaintiffs\u2019 instructions in routing it by other connecting carriers than they specified, by reason of which plaintiffs declined to .pay the accrued charges of transportation, whereupon the lumber was stored by the last or next to the last carrier with defendant, a licensed public warehouseman, who advanced the accrued railroad charges and duly notified plaintiffs of the receipt of the property and of the amount of the charges. Plaintiffs again refused to make payment and brought replevin for the goods with the result stated.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Warehousemen, \u00a7 11 \u2014when entitled to lien for advanced transportation charges. A lien for transportation charges on a shipment of goods through connecting carriers advanced by a public warehouseman with whom the goods were stored by the last carrier upon the shipper\u2019s refusal to pay such charges, held to exist in such warehouseman, notwithstanding the initial carrier misrouted the shipment by other connecting carriers than those specified by the shipper.\n2. Carriers, \u00a7 209*\u2014what need not he done by connecting carrier in order to preserve lien for charges. A connecting carrier is not bound to inquire into the initial carrier\u2019s authority as to routing in order to preserve a lien for its charges.\n3. Carriers, \u00a7 186*\u2014what is authority of initial carrier as to forwarding of shipment. While an initial carrier is the agent of the owner or shipper, it is clothed with apparent authority to forward a shipment by any ordinary or usual route.\n4. Carriers, \u00a7 195*\u2014what is authority of connecting carrier as to payment of accrued charges. A connecting carrier becomes an agent of the owner or shipper of goods transported and has implied authority to pay for him previously accrued charges of transportation,\n5. Warehousemen, \u00a7 25*\u2014when replevin lies to recover stored goods. Replevin will not lie for goods held under a lien for transportation charges advanced by a warehouseman without plaintiff first making or tendering payment of such charges.\nBull & Johnson, for plaintiff in error.\nW. Tudor Ap Madoc, for defendants in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
