Upon application for redress, the hotel company denied liability, and the case went into the Superior (‘ourt, where the guest lost. Appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and the judgment affirmed. The high court handed down a gweeping decision, holding not oniy that the hotel company was not lia ble, in the circumstances stated, but would not have been “liable had it even failed to provide a sufficient lock and key protection, or had it located the guest in a room easy f access, by reason of a nearby fire escape. The court held, in short, that guests have no protection against the theft of valuables from their rooms when they neglect to avail themselves of the publicly offered protection of a safe in the hotel of fice, set aside for the security of guests’ valuables.
