§ 4664. Delivery of thing closed and sealed; determination of value

When the thing bailed is delivered closed and sealed, the bailee must return it in the same condition, and shall be liable for the losses and damages if the seal or lock should have been broken by his fault.

Such bailee is presumed to be to blame unless the contrary is proven.

With regard to the value of the thing bailed, the statement of the bailor shall be admitted when the forcible opening can be charged to the bailee, should there be no proof to the contrary.
