Brown v. Estate of Funck
neutral
2 sentences1921The special ground upon which the trial court sustained the demurrer is thus stated: “Ordinarily if a consignor of goods alleges negligence or misconduct of a factor the burden lies on the consignor to prove it, but when a prima facie case of negligence of the factor is established the burden is on the latter to show facts relieving him from liability.” (Brown v.
