Everyday Law Cases
Can Free Cdretdker Charge for
UnreGSOndbIy Long Storage?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

"Will you take care Of this desk
for me-" requested Tom Johnson of
his neighborhood storekeeper.
"All right" was the reply, there
will be no charge for the storage, but
please call for It as soon as you can"
Eight months later Tom called to
get his desk, but the storekeeper told
him he had sold it, and had kept the
proceeds OF the sale to reimburse him
self for the unreasonable long storage.
He had tried, he claimed, to get in
touch with Johnson, but could not
locate him.
Johnson felt that he had been
treated unjustly, even though he had
taken too great an advantage of the
stOrekeeper's offer by his long delay
in coming back for the desk.
He sued the storekeeper for the
value of the desk, and the court
awarded him a verdict against the
storekeeper, explaining:
Zone who undertakes the storage of
an article gratuitously is not entitled
later to charge therefor. This is the
uniform rule of law In one desires
to change this condition and make a
charge, he is bound to notify the de-
positor of his intention. and he will
then be entitled to make a charge
II notification cannot be made, the
proper course to follow is to place the
article in storage with one who fol-
lows the business for hire at the de-
positor's risk for the storage charges. 4"

Trick !. South, the Declarer, count
ing his sure tricks, sees that he can
make four Diamonds, three Hearts,
the Ace of Spades, and Ace of Clubs,
nine tricks, provided he does not allow
East to take the first Spade trick.
The danger then would be that East
might shift to the Club suit before
South could clear his Diamonds.
South decided there was no danger
from the Spade situation. If West
held five Spades originally, East could
have held but two, and East's honor
would block West, making 1t impos-
sible for the adversaries to make more
than one or two tricks in the suit, as
the Dummy's 10 would then stop the
suit
If West held but four cards of the
Spade suit, East would have held
three. South would be assured of
game, as he could lose only three
Spade tricks and one Diamond.
