Court of Appeals of Maryland June 28, 1866 (Maltby v. Chapman)

Cochran, J.,

delivered the opinion of this Court.

The subject of an inn-keeper’s liability at common law, *316for losses sustained by a guest, was considered in Pettigrew vs. Barnum, 11 Md. Rep., 434, and upon the principles there enunciated, it is very clear that the appellant became liable for the loss complained of, if not protected by the 5th and 6th sections of Art. 70 of the Code.
