# O.C.G.A. § 43-21-9. Acts constituting entrustment of property to innkeeper.

It shall not be necessary to show actual delivery of property to the innkeeper before such property shall be deemed to have been entrusted to the innkeeper. Depositing goods in a public room set apart for such articles or leaving them in the room of the guest shall be a delivery to the innkeeper. However, if the guest shall deliver his goods to a servant under special charge to him to keep the same, the innkeeper shall not be liable therefor.
