A CURIOUS case as to the rights of the
finder of lost property, whose owner is
unknown, is reported from Rhode
Island. The plaintiff bought an old
safe and offered to sell it to the defend
ant. The defendant would not buy it,
but agreed to take it and sell it il he
could, using it himself in the meantime.
While it was thus in his possession, be
found roll of bank bills inside the
lining. No one knew to whom they be-
longed. The defendant therefore con-
cluded to keep them. The plaintiff, up
on learning Of the discovery Of the
money, demanded the return Of the safe
just as it was when delivered. The de-
PENDANT returned it, but without the
bank bills; whereupon the plaintiff sued
for their value as money found. The
Supreme Court held that the finder was
entitled to retain the property as against
the party who put the safe into his hands
for sale; and the authorities generally
maintain tine right of the finder, in this
class OF cases, as against all persons ex-
cept the real owner.
