Peek presiding, the celebrated case Of Isaac Nc
Daniels Is. George W. Robinson, received It's quie-
tus. In the spring Of 1871 Mr.. Robinson was the
landlord Of the Walloomsack House in Bennington,
and McDaniels, who had, until few days previ-
Gus to the occurrence, been guest at the hotel,
placed bag containing $4,000 in gold coin, in the
hands Of Robinson with directions for him to keep
the same until the next day, when the money was
to have been sent to Troy, by express. The bag
was rolled up in newspaper and placed in the
bedroom Of Robinson under the bed, according 10
The directions Of the plaintiff. The defendant at
Inst deeliped receiving he money, bat was finally
by the plaintiff to take charge of it,
Upon retiring for the night the package was safe,
but in the morning it was nowhere to be found
The above suit was instituted for its recovery.
The first trial resulted in a verdict for the defen-
lant the plaintiff then reviewed, but the second
rial terminated like the first. The defence con-
ended that Robinson used ordinary care and dill
;ence and that the plaintiff was not then his guest
The case was carried to the Supreme Court where
was decided that the plaintiff was guest of the
defendant at the time, although he had previously
emoved all Of his effects, except horse, whis Ia
7 a special contract. Hence the case was remain
ed to the Circuit Court for a new trial, which re-
ultel, as did the first two, in verdict for the de-
endant. The public in the vicinity are eminently
atished with the final disposition of the matter.
