Jum,S =, Iibiy anil " y. UhHaey This was
an action 10 recover Of the defendants. who Ar,
propretors of the Libby House, a hotel If
this CRY, for the Ices # :9j in money, and
gold watch, chain and pencil case, by the plain
tiff while guest of their house.
The case was referred and the plaintiff lleg
oil and proved on the trial that no was put into
a room with another person, against his protest.
that upon retiring'to bed he turned the key Ia III
door, and hung the watch on a nail in the wall
His money aud pencil case were in his pantaloou
pocket; before waking in the morning he iouns
the door ajar and his fellow 10 ger gone togetha
with his money, witch chain and pencil-casc.
He averred that this loss was in consequence Of
the negligence of the defendants, he being put
into room with another person, and the room
not securely fastened.
The def, nee was that tho loss was nccasinra,i
by the plIntif's own negligence and also that
in accordance with the act of 1855, the
defendants had provided a safe in their hotel
for the use Of their guests and that the usual
notice thereof required Icy law, was posted
The plaintiff made out his case to the satisfac-
tion of the Referee, and obtained Judgment in
his favor.
Appeal was taken to the General Term Of
the Court, the defendants counsel contending
that they were not liable, having provided u
safe, as above stated.
The Court now held in deciding the appeal
that the landlord was, under the common lay
liable to the guest for the safe. keeping NV
property under an implied contract, the con
Sideration Of which, was, the usual charges piN
by guests; that the act Of 1855 was only ia
tended to exempt the landlord in respect y.
such sums of money, and such articles Q
jewelry, ornaments, &C., as he himself woulCi
place in a safe tefore retiring, If a safe waa
convenient The act was not intended 10 inn
pair the common law liability beyond sucf
exemption.
In this case the plaintiff had but about s25
in mCnfy in bis pocket which was not NOR
than bis general expenses might AZ any tin
require. To deposit such a sum would has.
boou to be ridiculously prudent AZ TO hiS
watch and pencil, he might want either Of thor
after retiring TO his room. They were mo-
therefore required to TO deposited. The judi
ment for the plan'iff was affirmed.
