Opinion

Staoy, C. J.

It is provided by C. S., 2461, that every hotel or innkeeper who furnishes hotel accommodations to any person shall have a lien upon “all baggage or other property of such person . . . brought to such hotel” or inn, until all reasonable charges for such accommodations have been paid. The lien, however, would not attach to an automobile, the property of a third person, brought to the inn by the guest under circumstances disclosed by the present record. Covington v. Newberger, 99 N. C., 523, 6 S. E., 205; Cook v. Kane, 13 Or., 482, 51 Am. Rep., 28, and annotation.

Affirmed.
