HELIUM DQ58: Differences in Reasoning
between Albers and Kesler.
Albers assumes the finder would win under the rule in Mullett, so it carves out
an exception to that rule. How does Kesler deal with the Mullett rule?
![Page 9: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HELIUM DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler.
Kesler holds that the fox never returned to natural liberty because she …
“had formerly escaped and been recaptured; she had been out of her pen
but a short time; her owners were in pursuit [and] she was killed but a short
distance from her pen….”
![Page 10: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HELIUM DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler.
Note what Kesler says about Albers:
“Stephens & Co. v. Albers, a case squarely in point, supports the
conclusion herein ....”
[i.e., NOT the reasoning.]
![Page 11: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HELIUM DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler.
Albers: Returns pelt to OO by rejecting Mullett rule & creating new
rule for valuable animals v.
Kesler: Returns pelt to OO by applying Mullett rule
![Page 12: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HELIUM DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler.
Note quote from treatise (p.44): “But even where the inference that escaping wild beasts have animum revertendi could probably not be indulged in fairly, as where the wild animals of a menagerie escape from their owner's immediate possession, it is hardly to be expected that the courts would hold that they would therefore belong to the first person who should subject them to his dominion.”
![Page 13: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HELIUM DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler.
“ … where the wild animals of a menagerie escape from their owner's immediate
possession, it is hardly to be expected that the courts would hold that they would
therefore belong to the first person who should subject them to his dominion.

DQ56: SEVERABILITY OF PROPERTY RIGHTS
Both Albers and Kesler treat the question of the right to kill the fox as independent of the question of who owns it.
If the plaintiffs owned the foxes, why is it legally acceptable for a third party to kill them?
![Page 15: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

DQ56: SEVERABILITY OF PROPERTY RIGHTS
• Here, court says it was OK for Dr. Jones to kill a fox owned by Kesler because he acted (for Mrs. White) as “a reasonably prudent person” would, “under reasonably apparent necessity, in the protection of his own property” (chickens).
![Page 20: NEON & HELIUM: Put Taber & Bartlett Briefs Face Down in Box on Front Table MUSIC: Ray Charles & Friends Genius Loves Company (Duets 2004) DOG = KATIE (15)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f335503460f94c50a1e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Taber: Factual Disputes & Findings
1) Was whale anchored when found by ship Z? Yes.
2) Had whale dragged its anchor when found by ship Z? No, at least not "to any considerable distance."
3) Was there a custom in whaling industry that if an anchored whale dragged its anchor, ownership can be lost? No evidence of such a custom.
