Law )
(
a )
The gaining possession of any goods ,
whether by finding or by other means .
(
b )
An action to recover damages against one who found goods ,
and would not deliver them to the owner on demand ;
an action which lies in any case to recover the value of goods wrongfully converted by another to his own use .
In this case the finding ,
though alleged ,
is an immaterial fact ;
the injury lies in the conversion .

TROVER ,
remedies .
Trover signifies finding .
The remedy is called an action of trover ;
it is brought to recover the value of personal chattels ,
wrongfully converted by another to his own use ;
the form supposed that the defendant might have acquired the possession of the property lawfully ,
namely ,
by finding ,
but if he did not ,
by bringing the action the plaintiff waives the trespass ;
no damages can therefore be recovered for the taking ,
all must be for the conversion .

But trover will not lie for personal property in the custody of the law ,
nor when the title to the property can be settled only by a peculiar jurisdiction ;
as ,
for example ,
property taken on the high seas ,
and claimed as lawful prize ,
because in such case ,
the courts of admiralty have exclusive jurisdiction .

Nor will it lie where the property bailed has been lost by the bailee ,
or stolen from him ,
or been destroyed by accident or from negligence case is the proper remedy .

The plaintiff must at the time of the conversion have had a property in the chattel either general or special ;

he must also have had actual possession or right to immediate possession .
The person who has the absolute or general property in a personal chattel may support this action ,
although he has never had possession ,
for it is a rule that the general property of personal chattels creates a constructive possession .

There must have been a conversion ,
which may have been effected ,
1st .
By the wrongful taking of a personal chattel .
2d .
By some other illegal assumption of ownership ,
or by illegally using or misusing it ;
or ,
3d .
By a wrongful detention .,
Vide Conversion .

The declaration should state that the plaintiff Was possessed of the goods (
describing them )
as of his own property ,
and that they came to the defendant '
s possession by finding ;
and the conversion should be properly averred ,
as that is the gist of the action .
It is not indispensable to state the price or value of the thing converted .
