The shipper shall have the right to load said car by separating his stock with gates or bars, or by putting upper-decks at his own expense and without injury to the car; the shipper shall be responsible for all damage that may occur by reason of its being so loaded. Any railroad company refusing, without sufficient reason, to move or transport a car so loaded, shall be liable to the party injured thereby to double damages, to be recovered before any court having jurisdiction.
