NEW YORK, Jan 1s-The stock market re-
sponded to-day to the favorable turn of sentiment
abroad the far Eastern outlook. and the
notable strengthening Of the local money situa-
ton. There a more active and broader
market. and during the final hour the trading
took something like animation.
The same striking preference for stocks Of
minor railroads and industrals for speculative
movements that has been in evidence for some
time the conspicuous feature of the trading.

sale in the course of the advance.
Larger advances made in some OF the
minor stocks than in these few standard issues
being for the most part continuances or move

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-03

could have told that the turpentine or
rosin shipped by the alleged trespasser
was from government land. This
question was objected to by the gov
eminent, but after considerable argu-
ment Judge Speer sustained the de-
Tense in it's contention that the ques-
ton should be allowed. In his opin-
ION on the point the court defines the
standard by which is determined the
amount of damages which can be
asked.
The action is brought, said the court,
to recover the products of land owned
by the government, and the rule is
that he who purchases from wllful
wrongd0er does not acquire any bet
ter title to the product than the vendor
had. The court held that the defend
ant stands exactly, in this case, in
the shoes of the trespasser.
If Trespass Was Intentional.
"If the trespass was intentional"
said Judge Speer. Notwithstanding the
innocence of the vendee, the true own
er is entitled to recover the full value
of the property or of suit brought, with
no deduction for any increase of value
added to the property by the labor and
expense of the trespasser. Where the
original trespass was unintentional or
inadvertent, then the rule Is to make
every just allowance for the outlay
on the part of the person who has ac-
quired the property from the trespas-
ser, and to give back to the owner the
actual value only of his property at
the time 1t was taken from him.
IF, however, the original trespass
was intentional and he who purchased
from the trespasser had no knowledge
of the wlful misconduct of his vendor
and after his purchase adds to the
value of the property either by subse-
quent course of manufacture or other
wise, he would only be liable to the
true owner for the value of the proper
ty at the time he actually received It,
Having acted in good faith himself
and in ignorance of the wilful trespas-
ser's misconduct, he could not In that
case be charged with the additional
values which he had added by his own
labor or expense.
Course of Recovery.
IF, however, he had knowledge Of
the wilful trespass, the rule would be
quite otherwise, and the true owner
would be entitled to recover from him
all the values which he had added to
the property thus wrongfully received.
Since 1t is here claimed that the de-
PENDANT was a wilful wrongdoer, IL is
competent for II to show that it was
not, and, therefore, to submit any
proper proofs to show, IL II can, that
it did not know that this property had
been wrongfully taken from govern
ment lands. This proof Is admitted
not to defeat the right Of the gov
eminent to recover, but merely to re-
duce the damages under the rule ]
have given"
