the Innlxcepcr and lils Gruest no sucli private arrangement 

 can be recognized, and the Inn'keeper'' 8 liability towards him 

 for injury done to the Horse remains imimpaired (c). 



For the security and protection of travellers, Inns are A Guest's 

 allowed certain privileges, such as that the Horse and f.°,?'^^.^°^, 

 goods of the Guest cannot be distrained, &c. (f/). 



If an Innhceper takes his Gruest to rooms that he has Even where 

 provided for him, on account of not having sufficient room ^® ^,^ accom-

m ms inn, these rooms are privileged from distress (e). of the Inn. 



So also if a Gruest's Horse is put into a Stable provided Or uses a 

 for a particular occasion, it cannot be distrained. Formerly, stable pro- 

 however, a different view was taken in a similar case. For "^i^ed for the 

 where the tenant of a Stable had sub-let it to an I)inkeepey 

 during races, and the Horses of a Guest were put into it 

 and afterwards distrained by the landlord, the Distress was 

 held good, and Lord Mansfield, 0. J., thought that the 

 owner of the Horses had his remedy against the Inn'keeper 

 under the implied warranty for safe custody (_/). 



An InnJceeper has a general lien on all goods and chattels 

 belonging to his Guest {g). 



He has no lien on goods sent to his Guest for a parti- Innkeeper's

 another person (/?), but his lien extends to goods brought 

 to the Inn by a Guest, though they belong to a third 

 party, provided they be such as persons ordinarily travel 

 with (/), as these he is compelled to receive. And in 

 Throfall v. Boncich (k), it was held that his lien extends to 

 all the goods which he has actually received with a Guest 

 whether the property of the Guest or not, and is not limited 

 to such things as he was bound to receive with the Guest. 



As an I)uike(per by law is bound to receive the Horse of Innkeeper has 

 a traveller in case his stable is not full, he has therefore a ^^^"^ o^ ^ 

 lien for its keep upon a Horse left with him, and received keep.
