Head Matter:
William Buttman, Respondent, v. Alfred W. Dennett, Appellant.
(New York Common Pleas — Additional General Term,
August, 1894.)
A restaurant keeper in whose custody articles of wearing apparel are temporarily placed for safe-keeping is liable as a bailee therefor.
Appeal from a judgment of the District Court in the city of New York for the first judicial district.
W. S. Burt, for appellant.
L. S. Wheeler, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam
We think that a restaurant keeper in whose custody wraps and other articles of wearing apparel have been temporarily placed for safe-keeping is liable as a bailee under the rule laid down in Bunnell v. Stern, 122 N. Y. 539, and Bird v. Everard, 4 Misc. Rep. 104; 53 N. Y. St. Repr. 210, and that the judgment must, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.
Present: Bookstaver and Bisohoff, JJ.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
