  2. Title 15

A bailee who believes that a thing deposited with him is

wrongfully detained from its true owner may give him notice of the

bailment; and if, within a reasonable time afterwards, he does not

claim it, and sufficiently establish his right thereto, and

indemnify the bailee against the claim of the bailor, the bailee is

exonerated from liability to the person to whom he gave the notice,

upon returning the thing to the bailor, or assuming, in good faith,

a new obligation changing his position in respect to the thing, to

his prejudice.
