Where a co-keeper of a horse was unaware of the animal’s propensities, she remained able to claim damages from the other keeper who knew of, but did not disclose, the animal’s character. There was nothing in the Act to limit the general rights and duties of a bailor and bailee. The Act created no presumption that the knowledge of each co-keeper of an animal would be the same.
