Carter v. Reichlin Furriers

The complaint alleges that the defendant failed to return a fur coat which the plaintiff had delivered for storage during the spring and summer seasons. The trial court denied any recovery on the counts of conversion and recklessness, but rendered a judgment awarding the plaintiff $450 damages for her loss on the count alleging breach of a bailment contract.
