INNKEEPER. 



"When a Horse is taken to an Inn, the Innkeeper has a 

 particular responsibility imposed' upon him, in return for 

 which he has certain peculiar privileges. 



An Innkeeper is a person who makes it his business to 

 entertain travellers and passengers, and to provide lodging 

 and necessaries for them and their Horses and attendants, 

 and it is no way material whether he have any sign before 

 his door («) . 



The true definition of an Inn is, "a house where the 

 traveller is 'furnished with every thing which he has occa- 

 sion for whilst on his way " [h). 



The word Hostler is derived ah Jiostle; and the word 

 Hospitafor, which is used in the old writs for an Innhohier, 

 is derived ah hospitio ; and Hosjies est quasi Hospitimn 

 petens (c). 



A Guest is properly a lodger or stranger at an Inn ; and 

 the word " Guest " is derived from the Saxon Gest, which 

 had the same meaning as the French Gist or Gite, that is, 

 "a stage of rest in a journey," "a lodging" {d). And 

 Lord Holt says, " It is the lodging of the man at the Inn 

 that makes him Guest " (e). 



An Innkeeper or Hotel-keeper undertakes to receive 

 and entertain all travellers until his house is filled ; and 

 an Innkeeper by opening a common Inn undertakes also to 

 receive and keep the Horses of those who come to hislnn(/).
