From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
BILL OF LADING, contracts and commercial law. A memorandum or acknowledgment
in writing, signed by the captain or master of a ship or other vessel, that
he has received in good order, on board of his ship or vessel, therein
named, at the place therein mentioned, certain goods therein specified,
which he promises to deliver in like good order, (the dangers of the seas
excepted,) at the place therein appointed for the delivery of the same, to
the consignee therein named or to his assigns, he or they paying freight for
the same. 1 T. R. 745; Bac. Abr. Merchant L Com. Dig. Merchant E 8. b;
Abbott on Ship. 216 1 Marsh. on Ins. 407; Code de Com. art. 281. Or it is
the written evidence of a contract for the carriage and delivery of goods
sent by sea for a certain freight. Per Lord Loughborougb, 1 H. Bl. 359.
2. A bill of lading ought to contain the name of the consignor; the
name of the consignee the name of the master of the vessel; the name of the
vessel; the place of departure and destination; the price of the freight;
and in the margin, the marks and numbers of the things shipped. Code de Com.
art. 281; Jacobsen's Sea Laws.
3. It is usually made in three original's, or parts. One of them is
commonly sent to the consignee on board with the goods; another is sent to
him by mail or some other conveyance; and the third is retained by the
merchant or shipper. The master should also take care to have another part
for his own use. Abbotton Ship. 217.
4. The bill of lading is assignable, and the assignee is entitled to
the goods, subject, however, to the shipper's right, in some cases, of
stoppage in transitu. See In transitu; Stoppage in transitu. Abbott on
Shipping. 331; Bac. Ab. Merchant, L; 1 Bell's Com. 542, 5th ed.
