Bean v. Security Fur Storage Warehouse, Inc.

This action of contract or tort is to recover for the loss of a mink coat given to Morton’s Inc. (Morton’s), and later given by Morton’s to the defendant, for cleaning and storage. We are concerned only with count 5, which is based on negligence in causing the coat “to be taken or lost,” and on which there was a finding for the plaintiff. The defendant’s exceptions are to error in making that finding, and to admitting in evidence against the defendant the answers to interrogatories of Morton’s, which was defendant in another action by the plaintiff tried with the present action.
