The extent to which a hotel proprietor is responsible for the property of his guests was decid fod by the King's Bunch recently,

when Mr. S... Osborne, owner of | Lion Mansions Private Hiel, Princessquare appealed from a decision at Marylebone County Court in favour of Mrs. Lilian Bonnet for £50,

Mrs. Bonnet engaged a room at ! the hotel at which was a notice :--|

All reasonable precautions be- ing taken, the proprietor will not hold himself cosponsible for any loss sustained by visitors through fi-e, theft, or otherwise. The rooms are only let subject to this | condition.

Mrs. Bonnet missad hor jowellery after the housekeeper at the establishment had been dis misgod.

Judge Scully at the County Court hold that Mr. Osborno had notised, reasonabla precautions because he had engaged the housekeeper, on a forged refor once written by herself, and he ought to have made further ic- quiries before engaging her..

Without calling on counsel for the plaintiff their lordships dis- missed the appeal.
