1. ““Brokers tendered to defendant a vessel, for charter, of a certain registered tonnage. Defendants, being unable to find the cubical capacity of the vessel described in any of the published ratings of vessels at that port, made inquiry of the brokers, who informed them that it was a certain amount, and defendants then agreed to accept it. A charter party was drawn up, in which defendants inserted the represented cubical capacity, but the brokers gave notice that they had no authority to guaranty cubical capacity, and it was agreed to send the charter party to the vessel’s agents, who, on receipt of it, declined to guaranty the capacity. Held, that there was no contract, as the representation made by the brokers as to the capacity was, under the circumstances, a part of the contract on the part of the defendants, whatever it may have been on the part of the brokers.””
