The undersigned exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy ex- pert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper foundation.
