A Canadian lawyer sets out the law of inns as it stood in England and America in the 1870s, covering who counts as an innkeeper, lost baggage, hotel safes, fires, rats, burglars, horses in the stable, and wagers and games among guests. The cases are carried along by light, bantering conversation and frequent quotations from Burton and others.
