BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10On the Obligation Which Arises from OwnershipI. The origin and nature of the obligation to restore the property of another to its owner.II. The obligation to restore any gain that a person has made from another's property; this is illustrated by many examples.III. That a person who has honestly come into possession of another's property is not bound to make restitution, if the property has perished.IV. That such a possessor of another's property is bound to restore the income that still remains.V. That such a possessor is likewise bound to make good the income which has been used up, if under other circumstances he would have used an equivalent.VI. That such a possessor is not bound to restore income which he neglected to collect.VII. That such a possessor is not bound to make restitution of the property which he has given to another; herewith a distinction.VIII. That such a possessor, again, is not under obligation if he has sold a thing which he has bought likewise herewith a distinction.IX. When a person, who in good faith has bought property of another, can reserve the cost, or apart thereof.X. That purchased goods, if they belong to another, cannot rightfully be returned to the seller.XI. That a person who has in his possession property of which the owner is unknown is not bound to turn it over to any one.XII. That according to the law of nature money received for a shameful cause, or under other circumstances for an act which one is under obligation to perform, does not have to be restored.XIII.
