Mary Riley took onto her prem
ises a brood of turkeys she found
on a public road in a mistaken be-
Biof that they belonged to In r. She
was later notified that they be
longed to John McDaniel, After
such notification, she put them
back on the public road. McDaniel
was never able to locate his tur
keys. May McDaniel recover from
Mary Kiley a judgment for the
value of the turkeys?
Yes. Mary was not legally ob
ligated to remove the turkeys from
the dangers of the highway, hut
once she did so she acquired pos-,
= session of the turkeys; and became
what we call in law a “bailee”,
and as such she could not negli
gently dispose of the turkeys. The !
replacing of the turkeys on the !
highway was a negligent act on the j
part of Mary,
No one is required to take, af
firmative steps to save the person ,
or property of another from in
jury. Our law does not require
any one to assume the role of the
Good Samaritan. But if an indi
vidual does undertake the duty of !
the Good Samaritan, he becomes li
able for the negligent manner ill i
which he carries out his actions.
Green discovered a stray horse
in his garden. He immediately
drove the horse into the street at

horse was subsequently killed by.i
