Ancient laws a worry for the modern innkeeper

London, August 27. Laws framed hundreds of years ago when highwaymen terrorised the roads are worry- ing the present-day keepers of Britain's inns.

An official of the Brewers' Society said: "The matter has come to a head following a cus- tumer's successful claim recently for damages for the loss of his car, stolen from the car park of Nuneaton (Warwickshire) inn. The judges found the innkeeper ilable for the loss.

"Rulings in cases as far back us 1826, 1027 and 1841, some written partly in Norman French and some partly in Latin, quoted during the hearing."

In the cast in question, a man was awarded £470 for the loss of his car, which was stolen from The the cark park of the inn. Judge said, "Obligations imposed on innkeepers are heavy. They are bound to accept any traveller, and any obligation to take care of their guests' goods."

The Brewers' Society spokes- nan suid In an interview, The law on the matter is hopelessly out of date It was made fur the protection of travellers against highwaymen and horse thieves and originally, was reasonable enough.

"Today, a thief, with a good range of keys might make with a car costing several thou- sands of pounds from the ina cor park without the landlord know- ing puything about it. If the car owner were a guest or customer at the inn, the landlord would probably be held liable.

"Probably the best course open to the landlord is to insure against claims, but these are lean times for the trade. It is possible that a collective pulley taken out on behalf of all the houses owned by a single brewing Arm may be practical.

"But the final solution is to bring the law up to date."-As- sociated Press.

BLACK MARKET

IN WATER

Palermo, August 27, A pitcher of water brought 325 Ilre or US$0.50 on the black market at Argento and half a dozen other townships on the Southern coast of Sicily today. Nobody even asked if the water was polluted.

An estimated 250,000 inhabi- tants of the coast between Sclac- ca and Licata have been without water since a landslide broke the Quisquina aqueduct nine days ago. Water immediately became a black market item and its price rose with the heat-United Press,
