A California court has held the Southern
Pacific railroad liable for the loss or an
overcoat belonging TO a passenger which
was stolen from a Pullman car. The pas
senger was travelling 10 Los Angeles from
San Francisco. and left his coat in his
berth while he went into the smoking
room; when he returned the coat was
gone Meantime the train had stopped at
one or two stations. and the court held
that the negligence of the porter in charge
OF the Pullman gave the thief his oppor-
tunlty and that the railroad company was
therefore liable TO the owner of the coat.

It is doubtful II any man ever evinced
such &C afdence in his remedies as Pro-
fessor lInyon. He does not leave any
