MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 494

Definitions under Part VII.

494. If at the time when any goods are landed from any ship, and placed in the
custody of any person as a wharfinger or warehouseman, the shipowner gives to
the wharfinger or warehouseman notice in writing that the goods are to remain
subject to a lien for freight or other charges payable to the shipowner to an
amount mentioned in the notice, the goods so landed shall, in the hands of the
wharfinger or warehouseman, continue subject to the same lien, if any, for
such charges as they were subject to before the landing thereof; and the
wharfinger or warehouseman receiving those goods shall retain them until the
lien is discharged as hereinafter mentioned, and shall, if he fails so to do,
make good to the shipowner any loss thereby occasioned to him.
