Thus a man may have a property in deer in a park, hares or rabbits in a warren, fish in a pond, etc. ;but it is only a special or qualified property, for if at any time they regain their natural liberty his property instantly ceases, unless they have "animus revertendi".(A) person may have a special property in a thing in the sense that he can only put it to a particular use. Thus, in the case of a bailment, the bailee has a special property in the thing bailed, for he is only entitled to deal with it in accordance with the... bailment....(Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1447)
