Such a tender we consider to be altogether unnecessary in the present case; the acts to be done by both parties, namely, the receipt of the goods, and the payment of a reasonable sum for their carriage, being contemporaneous acts; the carrier being bound to re- ceive the goods on the money being paid or tendered, and the bailor to pay the reasonable amount demanded, on the carrier's taking charge of the good S The case of Rawson v John- son, I East 203, clearly shows that whenever a duty is cast on a party in consequence of a contemporaneous act of payment to be done by an- other, it is sufficient if the latter pay, or be ready to pay, the money, when the other is ready to undertake the dut Y Here the acts to be done by the plaintiffs and defendants are altogether contemporaneou S The money is not required to be paid down by the plaintiffs, until the carrier receives the goods, which he is bound to carr Y" Aider by Verdi Ct Plaintiff brought suit on a contract to carry cattle, for refusal to carry;
