One who makes a consignment to another.
When goods are consigned to be sold on commission, and the property remains in the consignor; or when goods have been consigned upon a credit, and the consignee has become a bankrupt or failed, the consignor has a right to stop them in transit.
The consignor is generally liable for the freight or the hire for the carriage of goods.
