Description
The plaintiff brought this
action to recover the value of his household
goods, which were partially consumed and otherwise
damaged while in the possession of the defendant
as a bailee for hire. From the judgment rendered
for the defendant, the plaintiff has appealed. The
crucial question for determination is whether
evidence which went no further than to establish
that the bailed goods were destroyed or damaged by
fire rebutted the presumption that the loss was
due to the defendant's negligence. The finding, as corrected, recites the following
facts: The defendant was engaged in the trucking
and moving business. It was also engaged in renting
storage space in a portion of a building used
and advertised as a private warehouse. The
building was of fireproof construction and was
equipped with concrete floors and brick walls. On
May 15, 1948, the defendant moved the plaintiff's
household goods from his home to the warehouse for
storage, the parties agreeing that the storage
charge would be $5 a month. The space where the
goods were stored remained under the control of
the defendant.
