[5] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

deposit, contracts. usually defined to be a naked bailment of goods to be 
kept for the bailor, without reward, and to be returned when he shall 
require it. jones' bailm. 36, 117; 1 bell's com. 257. see also dane's abr. 
ch. 17, aft. 1, sec. 3; story on bailm. c. 2, sec. 41. pothier defines it to 
be a contract, by which one of the contracting parties gives a thing to 
another to keep, who is to do so gratuitously, and obliges himself to return 
it when he shall be requested. traite du depot. see code civ. tit. 11, c. 1, 
art. 1915; louisiana code, tit. 13, c. 1, art. 2897. 
     2. deposits, in the civil law, are divisible into two kinds; necessary 
and voluntary. a necessary deposit is such as arises from pressing 
necessity; as, for instance, in case of a fire, a shipwreck, or other 
overwhelming calamity; and thence it is called miserabile depositum. louis. 
code 2935. a voluntary deposit is such as arises without any such calamity, 
from the mere consent or agreement of the parties. dig. lib. 16, tit. 3, 
sec. 2. 
     3. this distinction was material in the civil law, in respect to the 
remedy, for involuntary deposits, the action was only in simplum; in the 
other in duplum, or two-fold, whenever the depositary was guilty of any 
default. the common law has made no such distinction, and, therefore, in a 
necessary deposit, the remedy is limited to damages co-extensive with the 
wrong. jones, bailm. 48. 
     4. deposits are again divided by the civil law into simple deposits, 
and sequestrations; the former is when there is but one party depositor of 
whatever number composed, having a common interest; the latter is where 
there are two or more depositors, having each a different and adverse 
interest. see sequestration. 
     5. these distinctions give rise to very different considerations in 
point of responsibility and rights. hitherto they do not seem to have been 
incorporated in the common law; though if cases should arise, the principles 
applicable to them would scarcely fail of receiving general approbation, at 
least, so far as they affect the rights and responsibilities of the parties. 
cases of judicial sequestration and deposits, especially in courts of 
chancery and admiralty, may hereafter require the subject to be fully 
investigated. at present, there have been few cases in which it has been 
necessary to consider upon whom the loss should fall when the property has 
perished in the custody of the law. story on bailm. sec. 41-46. 
     6. there is another class of deposits noticed by pothier, and called by 
him irregular deposits. this arises when a party having a sum of money which 
he doe's not think safe in his own hands; confides it to another, who is to 
return him, not the same money, but a like sum when he shall demand it. 
poth. traite du depot, ch. 3, sec. 3. the usual deposit made by a person 
dealing with a bank is of this nature. the depositor, in such case, becomes 
merely a creditor of the depositary for the money or other thing which he 
binds himself to return. 
     7. this species of deposit is also called an improper deposit, to 
distinguish it from one that is regular and proper, and which latter is 
sometimes called a special deposit. 1 bell's com. 257-8. see 4 blackf. r. 
395. 
     8. there is a kind of deposit which may, for distinction's sake, be 
called a quasi deposit, which is governed, by the same general rule as 
common deposits. it is when a party comes lawfully to the possession of 
another person's property by finding. under such circumstances, the finder 
seems bound to the same reasonable care of it as any voluntary depositary ex 
contractu. doct.  stu. dial. 2, ch. 38; story on bailm. sec. 85; and see 
bac. abr. bailm. d. see further, on the subject of deposits, louis. code, 
tit. 13; bac. abr. bailment; digest, depositi vel contra; code, lib. 4, tit. 
34; inst. lib. 3, tit. 15, sec. 3; nov. 73 and 78; domat, liv. 1, tit. 7, et
