“1900 James Cockcroft et al.The American And English Encyclopedia of Law A. & E. Encycl. of L., 2d Edition A charter-party provided for a certain rate of freight on the cargo intaken. The word "delivered" in the charter-party had been stricken out and the word intaken written in. The court said, in construing this provision: "If the number⟳ of tons delivered is conclusive evidence of the number⟳ of tons intaken, the careful erasure from the charter-party of the printed word delivered' and the insertion of the written word intaken was an idle ceremony. This would assume⟳, and give⟳ to respondents the full benefit of the assumption, that the weight of the cargo is fixed by a definite, certain, indexible, and unchangeable standard; that there can be no error or fluctuation, loss of quantity, or diminution in weight; and that the exact number⟳ of tons which went in at Pomaron would come⟳ out here. The evidence discloses the fact that the weight of the intaken cargo and the output at the port of delivery seldom, if ever, agree⟳."”
