In all respects, means in a contract, by the owner of a park, allowing the car owners to park their cars in the private property of the park-owner, he stipulated that he would not be responsible for the safe custody of any cars or articles therein nor for any damage to the cars or articles, however caused, nor for any injuries to any persons, all cars being left in all respect entirely at their owners.
The expression 'in all respects' was interpreted wide enough to show that whatever might be done with regard to that car, the owner took the risk of its happening or of its being done. The position, therefore, would be that he should not hand over the car to any body but the true owner, and if the servant in the performance of the duty performs it negligently, and, acting under a misapprehension which a little more care might have prevented, hands over the car to the wrong person, that is one of the risks which on the true construction of documents, the car-owner took, Asbhy v.
