Leach v. Bilcovitch

Leach, P. J.,

Plaintiff sued before the alderman on an implied contract. It appears that he sent a suit to defendant company to be cleaned. Concealed therein was a pocketbook which plaintiff alleges contained $30. The contract given by defendant was to clean clothes and not to receive pocketbooks, and there was no implied authority in the driver of the company to take possession of pocketbooks and money. The duties and responsibilities of a bailee cannot be thrust upon a person without his knowledge or against his consent: Lloyd v. The West Branch Bank, 15 Pa. 172, 175.
