The responsibility of landlords for the safety of
the goods of those soOurnng under their roofs rests
upon the Law of Bailments as fixed century ago
by Chief-Justice Holt in the case of Coggs rs Ber
nard But the relation of landlord and guest has
been entirely changed in many instances Proba-
bly, when Holt gave bis decision public houses had
no regular and permanent boarders We have
therefore, naturally, notifications of the old de-
cisions An Illinois Judge has determined that
while landlord is responsible for the goods OF
guest. he is not equally liable for those of perna-
nent resident of his house. newspaper calls this
"a very nice distinction" but it seems to us an
obvious one. To the traveller the hotel is place
with the manners and peculiarities and risks Of
which he is but imperfectly acquainted, while all
these are familiar to the boarder In fact, as to
the boarder the house lacks the essential character
istics Of an inn lie is simply living in great
boarding house, and not SO far he is concerned in
an inn at all. The travellers baggage is special
deposit, while the property of the boarder remains
literally in his own custody.

New-York tribune., 1873-05-12

There are citizens old enough we suppose to re-
member the beginning of the improvements in our
public squares and there are some sanguine enough
to expect to see their completion. The fountain IN
front of the old City Hall is neither very elaborate
nor very magnificent; but if it had been two mil
lion dollar cathedral it need not have taken longer
IN building. The fountain in Union-square has
never got beyond its foundations, and it is ques-
ton whether we shall regard it rs an unfinished i'm
provement or a melancholy ruin. The square itself
has been for some years obstructed with the ma
chimes and materials of another patent pave
ment company. In all parts Of the city the labor OF
beautifying public property on in the same dila-
tory, dawdling way. Private enterprise would have
done the work five times overin the same time. 1t
will really be crying shame if another Summer
pass away before the recreation grounds of the pop
ulace are put in condition to be enjoyed. Two or
three weeks of resOlute work, instead of the dis
g1lised ideness which has hitherto prevailed IN
these quarters, will do all that we need.

The Massachusetts, Legislature has changed the
method of swearing witnesses in court. The law az
it now stands leaves it to the witness and not to the
court, to change the usual FORM If the witness
asserts that any peculiar form is in his opinion more
solemn and obligatory, the oath must be admins
tered in that form. Heretofore witnesses, except
Quakers and Catholics, have been sworn with the
simple ceremony of the uplifted hand. Quakers
were permitted to affirm, and Catholics were forced
to swear as the judge directed. The new statute
permits the largest liberty in this particular
New-York tribune., 1873-05-12

A Brooklyn Alderman lately called for a
list of the lawyers in the employ of the Board
Of City Works of that city, which appears to
be similar in its powers and its conduct to
hat of the Department of Public Works of
New-York under Tweed. But no reply to the
resolution was forthcoming. A TRIBUNE re-
porter was more fortunate in securing the list
which is presented in other columns for the
sdifcation of the Council and the interest Of
BROOKLYN taxpayers generally.

We print to-day an account of the simple
and touching ceremonies attending the last
sonors paid to Chef-Justice Chase in this

ihe expressions of respect and regard for his
memory which exhibit not more sorrow for

fame. To-day he viii be buried from the

honor. The precedent will do no harm if it

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Between one and two O'Clock yesterday morn.
ing Samuel Simpson, gardener, employed at
Riverdale, Westminster county while proceeding
home from Yonkers, was stopped by two stalwart
men, who demanded his money or his life. Not
feeling disposed to part with either on such sum-
mary notice, Simmons, seeing that the highway
men were preparing TO attack him, pulled out a
pruning knife, and, placing his back against a
stone wall, Piled the weapon vigorously IN
order to repuse his assailants, cutting
the coat sleeve OF one OF them In several places.
SEEING favorable opportunity he fed, however,
and repaired to the police station at Kingsbridge
where he told the story OF his encounter. The
telegraph was Immediately used to communicate
with police headquarters at Yenkers. the result
being that the would-be robbers were apprehended
in the station house, where they had short time
previously secured lodging for the night. The
prisoners were fully identified by simpson, and
after an examination before Judge Baird, were
committed without bail TO await the action OF the
Grand Jury.
