Talk:Minster Pool

Interesting historical point
Might be worth discussing the case South Staffordshire Water Co. v. Sharman, [1896] 2 Q.B. 44, which is an important case, and one of very few common law cases on finders' rights. The court distinguished prior precedents holding that the finder of lost property retained ownership against all but the real owner when it held that the South Staffordshire Water Co., who owned Minster Pool and had hired Sharman and other workers to clean out the pool, was the rightful owner of two gold rings found in the mud at the bottom of the pool. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 20:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
