12 C Theft Embezzlement and Fraudulent obtainment Of Things found
Knowing it to be of value Bank Note
a man to take it up who happened at at that moment
to want a piece of paper: at the same time that the value
of it would appear so inconsiderable to a person who could
not read or did not know the nature of a promisory note
that from the smallness of such apparent value added to
the circumstance of his finding it out of doors he might
have very sincerely concluded that the person whose
property it had been meant to abandon it
So if a plant which is in fact of considerable value
happens to be thrown carelessly among a parcel of
weeds upon a dunghill just without a garden; the beauty
or singularity of it may induce a man by to take it up
who not knowing its real value, and seeing it lie there
may perhaps honorable honestly enough conclude that the owner
has thrown it out as useless to him and not worth regarding
If a man finds a thing which appears to have
been lost by the owner it may be that he took it with- -out
