Headnote

Bailment—Restaurant keeper.
A restaurant keeper, in whose custody wraps and other articles of wearing apparel have been temporarily placed for safe keeping, is liable as a bailee.
Appeal from a judgment of the district court in the city of Hew York for the first judicial district.
W. S. Burt, for app’lt; L. S. Wheeler, for resp’t.

We think that a restaurant keeper in whose custody wraps and other articles of wearing apparel have been temporarily placed for safe keeping, is liable as a bailee under the rule laid down in Bunnell v. Stern, 122 N.Y. 539 ; 34 St. Rep. 218 , and Bird v. Everard, 53 St. Rep. 210 ; and that the judgment must therefore be affirmed, with costs.
