ON THE CONTRARY
The Law Of Finding

The law of finding is this: The find
der has clear title against the whole
world except the owner The proprie-
tor Of coach or a railroad car or of a
shop has no right 10 demand the prop
erty which may be found upon their
property or premises. Such proprie-
tors may make regulations in their
employees, but they cannot bind the
public. The law of finding was de-
clared by the Kings Bench, one hun
dred years ago, in a case in which the
facts were these: A person found a
wallet containing a sum of money on
a shop floor. He handed the wallet
and contents to the shopkeeper TO be
returned to the owner. After three
years, during which the owner did not
call for his property, the finder de-
manded the wallet and the money
from the shopkeeper. The latter re-
fused to deliver them up on the ground
that they were found on his premises.
The former then sued the shopkeeper,
and ii was held as above set forth, that
against all the world bnt the owner
the title of the finder is perfect. And
the finder has been held to standsin the
place of the owner, 20 that he was
permitted to prevail in an action
against the person who found an article
which the plaintiff had originally found,
but subsequently lost The police
have no special rights in regard to
articles lost unless those are conferred
by statute. Receivers of articles found
are trustees for the owner or for the
finder. They have no power in the
absence of special statute to keep an
article against the finder, any more
than the finder has to retain an article
against the owner.
