This problem is based on the law relating to contracts of bailment. In this case Kate is
the bailor as she delivered her clothes to Mary for repair only and paid for the same in
advance. Mary the bailee had no other mandate other than repair and return the goods
to Kate which is the essence of the bailment. As a bailee Mary is bound to take
reasonable care of the goods the subject matter of the bailment. As a bailee Mary is
bound to take reasonable care of the goods the subject matter of the bailment. In this
case Mary did not return the goods to Kate as agreed and were then stolen. The loss of
is traceable to Mary's failure to return them to Kate after repair. It would appear
to follow that Mary is liable in damages for breach of duty.
