Bailor

Bar

A person who leaves goods in the custody of another, usually under a “contract of bailment,” in which the custodian (“bailee”) is responsible for the safekeeping and return of the property. sometimes the bailor is not the owner but a person who is a servant of the owner or a finder (say, of jewelry) who places the goods with the bailee until the owner is found.
