Coggs v Bernard
''Coggs v Bernard'' (1703) 2 Ld Raym 909 (also ''Coggs v Barnard'') is a landmark case both for English property law and contract law, decided by Sir John Holt, Chief Justice of the King's Bench. It sets out the duties owed by a bailee - someone in possession of property owned by another.
==Facts==
William Bernard〔Probably a small businessman and a fishmonger's porter. It may have been that he had servants who were responsible for this accident.〕 undertook to carry several barrels of brandy belonging to John Coggs〔Probably a goldsmith banker, who ran a business from the King's Head on the Southwest corner of Chancery Lane〕 from Brooks Market, Holborn to Water Street, just south of the Strand (about half a mile). Bernard's undertaking was gratuitous; he was not offered compensation for his work. As the brandy was being unloaded at the Water Street cellar, a barrel was staved and 150 gallons were lost.
Coggs brought an action on the case against Bernard, alleging he had undertaken to carry the barrels but had spilled them through his negligence.
