MUST YIELD PART TO CROWN
How the British Law Deals With tbs
Finder Of What Is Known as
Treasure TrCVe.

Treasure-troye is money, plate, bull.
lion, coin, gold or silver, found hid
den In the earth or other private place,
the owner being unknown. According
10 Roman law, treasure found by a
man in his own land belonged to the
finder; II found in the land Of an
other half was given to the owner of
the land and half to the finder. In
Great Britain treasure-trove belongs
to the Crown, and concealment by the
finder Is an indctable offense. The
Crown, however is In the practice Of
paying to the finder the value Of the
property upon its being delivered up.
In 1886 the home Office of the British
government gave notice that the find
Crs OF treasure would be permitted to
retain articles not required for any
national institution, subsequent TO a
deduction Of ten per cent; articles
required for museums, etc, are paid
for at their antiquarian value, less
20 per cent. The civil code Of the
province OF Quebec, which is largely
based on the old French law, follows
the rule OF the Roman law upon this
point. Article $50 says: 1.-THE owner
ship Of a treasure rests with him who
finds 1t in his property; If he finds it
in the property of another, it belongs
half to him, and the other half to the
owner of the property. A treasure is
any buried or hidden thing Of which
no one can prove himself the owner
aud which is discovered by chance"
