Excerpt from Outlines of the Law of Bailments and Carriers 1. Definition. - Many attempts have been made to define a bailment but none is free from criticism. For our purpose it is enough to say that - A bailment is a contract relation resulting from the delivery of personal chattels by the owner, called the bailor, to a second person, called the bailee, for a specific purpose, upon the accomplishment of which the chattels are to be dealt with according to the owner's direction.
