man law. Ownership held. by a title recognized by the municipal law, in an object also recognized by that law, and in the strict character of a Roman citizen. “Roman law orlginally only recognized one kind of dominion, called, emphatically, ‘quiritary dominjon.’ Gradually, however, certain real rights arose which, though they failed to satisfy all the elements of the definition of quiritary dominion, were practically its equivalent, and received from the courts a similar protection. These real rights might fall short of quiritary dominion in three respects: (1) Either in respect of the persons in whom they resided; (2) or of the subjects to which they related; or (8) of the title by which they were acquired.” In the latter case, the ownership was called “bonitarian,” 4 c., “the property of a Roman citizen, in a subject capable of quiritary property, acquired by a title not known to the civil law, but introduced by the pretor and protected by his émpertum or supreme executive power;” e. g., where res mancipé had been transferred by mere tradition.
