§857. Bills of lading not to be issued unless goods or warehouse receipt therefor actually delivered
No master, owner or agent of any boat or vessel of any description, forwarder, officer or agent of any railroad, transfer or transportation company or other carrier, shall sign or give any bill of lading, receipt or other voucher or document for any merchandise or property, by which it appears that the merchandise or property has been shipped on board of any boat, vessel, railroad car, or other vehicle, unless the merchandise or property is actually shipped and put on board or delivered to the boat, vessel, car or other vehicle, to be carried or conveyed as expressed in the bill of lading, receipt or voucher or document, or unless the merchandise or property is actually deposited in a warehouse operated under the direction and supervision of any agency or board of the state. In the latter case, a warehouse receipt issued in the form required by Title 54, Chapter 1 shall be issued by the board or agency under whose direction and supervision the warehouse is operated, and the receipt delivered to the master, owner or agent of the boat or vessel, or to the officer or agent of the railroad, transfer or transportation company, or other persons signing the bill of lading or other voucher before the bill of lading or voucher is issued or delivered.
The provisions and penalties of R.S. 45:923 and 45:944 shall not apply to bills of lading issued under the provisions of this Section.
