William Buttman, Respondent, v. Alfred W. Dennett, Appellant.
    (New York Common Pleas — Additional General Term,
    August, 1894.)
    A restaurant keeper in whose custody articles of wearing apparel are temporarily placed for safe-keeping is liable as a bailee therefor.
    Appeal from a judgment of the District Court in the city of New York for the first judicial district.
    
      W. S. Burt, for appellant.
    
      L. S. Wheeler, for respondent.
   Per Curiam

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, and Bird v. Everard, 4 Misc. Rep. 104; 53 N. Y. St. Repr. 210, and that the judgment must, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.

Present: Bookstaver and Bisohoff, JJ.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
