Finder of goods, in a public place or shop, acquires a special property in them, available against all the world, except the true owner, who may recover them at anytime within six years; the finder is bound, however, before appropriating them to his own use, to take all the means in his power to discover the owner.

The test of regularity of keeping accounts by a shopkeeper who has daily transactions cannot be the same as that of a broker in real estates. Not only their systems of maintaining books of account will differ but also the yardstick of contemporaneity in making entries therein.
