THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



Aucust 



rome, 14 Id.. 40(1. are authorities for 

 saying, if any ^ere wanted, that the 

 inability of the owner of a personal 

 chattel "to retake it while on the prem- 

 ises of another, without committing 

 trespass, does not impair his legal in- 

 terest in the property. It only embar- 

 rasses the use or enjoyment of it. The 

 owner of the soil, therefore, acquiring 

 no right to the property in bees, the 

 defendant below cannot protect him- 

 self by showing it out of the plaintlfE 

 in that way. It still continues in him, 

 and draws after it the possession suf- 

 ficient to maintain this action against 

 a third person, who invades it by vir- 

 tue of no other claim than that derived 

 from the law of nature. This case is 

 distinguishable from the cases of Gil- 

 let vs. Mason. 6 Johns., 16, and Fer- 

 guson vs. Miller. 1 Cow., 243. The 

 first presented a question between the 

 finder and a person interested in the 

 soil; the other between two persons, 

 each claiming as first finder. The 

 plaintifl' in the last case, although the 

 first finder, had not acquired a qual- 

 ified property in the swarm according 

 to the law of prior occupancy. The 

 defendant had. Besides, the swarm 

 being unreclaimed from their natural 

 liberty while in the tree, belonged to 

 the owner of the soil ratione soli. For 

 these reasons I am of opinion that the 

 .iudgment of the court below should be 

 alfirmed. 



Judgment affirmed.
