Some of the larger importing firms rent a whole room, to which they are allowed one key, while the custom-house officers hold the other. With the merchandise stored in this manner the warehouse company has no concern or responsibility, except as a guard against burglary. Merchandise stored in the common storeroom, where several lots of goods belonging to different owners are stored, remains under the control of the custom-house officers and the warehouse company, each °f them holding a key and both parties having free access.
