28 law. The only provision in the section relative to limited liability refers to a carrier by water, and does not relate to the issue involved in this case of limited liability bf an inland carrier.

Having concluded that the stipulation in the bill of lading exempting appellant from liability on account of loss by fire is void under § 843 of Crawford & Moses' Digest, which prohibits a carrier from limiting its common-law liability as an insurer against loss by fire, it becomes unnecessary to discuss and decide other questions argued in briefs of learned counsel for the respective parties.

No error appearing, the judgment is affirmed.
