Mary Kiley took onto her prem
ses a brood of turkeys she found
>n a public road in a mistaken be
ief that they belonged to her. She
was later notified that they belong
ed to John McDanlel. After such
lotification, she put them back on
he public fad. McDanlel was
lever able to locate his turkeys.
May McDaniel recover from Man
Riley a judgment for the value vl
the turkeys?
Yesw Mary was not legally obit
gated to remove the turkeys frorr
the dangers of the highway, bul
once she did so she acquired pos
session of the turkeys and became
what we call in a 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 or
the part of Mary.
No one is required to take affirm
ative steps to save the person 01
property of another frem injury
Our law does not require any one
to assume the role of the Gooei
conduct on his part indicating that tl
he intended to take possession of tl
the horse. He never became a L
"bailee" of the property, p

Smith's cow has escaped from an w
enclosed pasture. Smith is of the ^
opinion that the cow can be found {|
on the land of Jones, but Jones
has forbidden him to set foot on
his land. What can Smith do?
It is a criminal offense for a t
person to enter upon the land of
another after he has been forbid- ''
den to do so. 1
Smith should make a written af- '
fidavit before a justice of the 11
peace that a specially described
cow of his has strayed away, and s
r Samaritan. But if an individual
' does undertake the duty of the
, Good Samaritan, he becoir.?s liable
? for the negligent manner in wi ich
? he carries out hi? actions.

Green discovered a stray horse
' in his garden. He immediately
dvove the horse into the street at
? the most convenient place. The
' horse was subsequently killed by
f the driver of a truck some miles
I away. May Brown, ihe owner of
the horse, recover the value of the
? horse from Green?
No. Green never assumed cus
. tody or possession of the horse. He
.' got rid of the animal as soon as hi
I s; v it on his land. There was no'
hat he has good reason to believe
hat It is now on the lands of Jones,
f he does this, the justice of the
eac# may, in his discretion, allow
mith to enter on the premises of

rithout firearms, in the daytime,
or the purpose of making a search
or the cow.
White has expressly forbidden
llack from entering upon any

Yes. In the absence of any re
