the fact that there was strong favor
of dissolving Essex County Associa-
ton, leaving each of The Individual

either Orleans County, or,Caledonia
County Association. This question
was freely discussed add it was
unanimously voted to dissolve the
Association Although this Conven.

much larger attendance this year

difficulty of travel from one part

FINDERS NO GER KEEPERS
In England or In Scotland Even 4 Lost
Golf Ball May Become Court
IN Il 3'i3} Issue. sESl II

The old rule finding is keeping
is no longer part Of the common law
of England or even Of Scotland.
The rule today, and a very sensible
and practical rule it is, seems to be
this: II a man finds goods that have
been actually lost or are reasonably
supposed by him to have been lost,
and appropriates them with intent to
take the entire dominion over them,
really believing when he takes them
that the owner cannot be found; it is
not larceny; but IL he takes them with
( the like intent though lost, or reason
ably believing that the owner can be
found, 1t is larceny. " s ID S.s$SsE;
Thus IL my caddie, knowing that I
have lost a ball in the road at the
tenth, goes back In the evening and
finds It, well knowing by the gaping
wound at the base of it-this was caus-
! ed by the low tee he gave me at the
seventh and he cannot have forgotten
the shot 7 say, he takes the ball
with intent to exercise entire dominion
over 1t as for instance to exchange it
Z for cigarettes or sell 1t, that is larceny
But IL, say. with full intent to return
it to me the next morning, he plays q
round with 1t himself in the dusk Of
the evening and loses it in the pond,
he is not guilty Of larceny, and my
only remedy is an action for damages.
