Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bering Sea Arbitration: Or "Pelagic Sealing" Juridically Considered According to a Particular Analogy of Municipal Law
As to animals which, from habit, are wont to go away and re turn, such as pigeons and bees, likewise deer that are wont to go to the woods and return, we have this rule handed down, that if they cease to have a disposition to return they cease also to be ours, and may become the property of the first takers; and they seem, moreover, to cease to have a disposition to return when they may have abandoned the habit of returning.
