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, 25 N. E. 910, and Bird v. Everard (Com. Pl. N. Y.) 23 N. Y. Supp. 1008; and that the judgment must therefore be affirmed, with costs.
