Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Bailments and Carriers Only personal property can be the subject of a bailment, for actual manual possession of real_property cannot be de livered, and under the civil law onlc'orpo'realpersonal prop erty could be bailed, on the ground that it alone admitted of the actual delivery necessary to constitute a bailment, but under the common law incorporeal personalty, as debts or choses in action, may be bailed. In fact, the development of the law of bailment has been a transition from the theory of actual delivery and rede livery of corporeal chattels to the theory of the transfer for a special purpose of the possession of any kind of personal prop erty, and to-day it can be said that the one distinguishing element of the bailment relation is the rightful temporary holding of the possession of personal property, by one not its owner.' Since the relation is one of contract, the general rules applicable to all contracts apply. A marked feature of the law of bailments is the fact that it consists almost Wholly of duties arising between the parties by implication of law, almost all of which may be changed by express contract, and in perhaps no other branch of the law of contracts do we find so prominently the implied contract? Likewise, as most contracts can be entered into by the agent of the contractor, the principles of agency apply to bailments, and this is especially true in reference to the law of carriers, since most of the carriers to-day are great corporations which can contract only by and through their agents.
