INNS, RESTAURANTS AND LODGING HOUSES, § 19 — nonliability of hotel company for houseman's assault and battery on guest. A hotel company, being bound to use only ordinary care for safety of a guest, was not liable for injuries sustained by guest as result of assault and battery committed by company's "houseman" who had been furnished with passkey to rooms, where there was no evidence that such employee was acting within the scope of his employment at time of assault or that company was negligent in employing him or in entrusting passkey to him.
