Hadley operated a steam mill in Gloucestershire. Its crankshaft was broken. It arranged with W. Joyce & Co. in Greenwich for a new one. Joyce asked Hadley to send the broken one to them so they could fit it correctly to the other parts. Hadley contracted Baxendale (trading as “Pickford & Co.”) to transport the broken crankshaft to Joyce, “and in consideration thereof the defendants then promised the plaintiffs to convey the said broken shaft from Gloucester to Greenwich, and there on the said second day to deliver the same to the said W. Joyce & Co. for the plaintiffs”. | Hadley operated a steam mill in Gloucestershire. Its crankshaft was broken. It arranged with W. Joyce & Co. in Greenwich for a new one.
