CONFUSION OF GOOD
(bouvier) | CONFUSION OF GOODS. This takes place where the goods of two or more persons
become mixed together so that they cannot be separated. There is a
difference between confusion and commixtion; in the former it is impossible,
while in the latter it is possible, to make a separation. Bowy. Comm. 88.
2. When the confusion takes place by the mutual consent of the owners,
they have an interest in the mixture in proportion to their respective
shares. 2 Bl. Com. 405; 6 Hill, N. Y. Rep. 425. But if one willfully mixes
his money, corn or hay, with that of another man, without his approbation
or knowledge, the law, to guard against fraud, gives the entire property
without any account, to him whose original dominion is invaded land
endeavored to be rendered uncertain, without his consent. Ib.; and see 2
Johns. Ch. It. 62 2 Kent's Comm. 297.
3. There may be a case neither of consent nor of willfulness, in the
confusion of goods; as where a bailee by negligence or unskillfulness, or
inadvertence, mixes up his own goods of the same sort with those bailed; and
there may be a confusion arising from accident and unavoidable casualty.
Now, in the latter case of accidental intermixture, the rule, following the
civil law, which deemed the property to be held in common, might be adopted;
and it would make no difference whether the mixture produced a thing of the
same sort or not; as, if the wine of two persons were mixed by accident. See
Dane's Abr. ch. 76, art. 5, Sec. 19.
4. But in cases of mixture by unskilfulness, negligence, or
inadvertence, the true principle seems to be, that if a man having
undertaken to keep the property of another distinct from, mixes it with his
own, the whole must, both at law and in equity, be taken to be the property
of the other, until the former puts the subject under such circumstances,
that it may be distinguished as satisfactorily as it might have been before
the unauthorized mixture on his part. 15 Ves. 432, 436, 439, 440; 2 John.
Ch. R. 62; Story on Bailm. c. l, Sec. 40. And see 7 Mass. 11. 123; Dane's
Abr. c. 76, art. 3, Sec. 15; Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 M 28; Bac. Ab. Trespass, E
2; 2 Campb. 576; 2 Roll. 566, 1, 15 2 Bul. 323. 2 Cro. 366, 2 Roll. 393; 5
East, 7; 21 Pick. R. 298.

CONFUSION OF RIGHTS
(bouvier) | CONFUSION OF RIGHTS, contracts. When the qualities of debtor and creditor
are united in the same person, there arises a confusion of rights, which
extinguishes the two credits; for instance, when a woman obliges marries the
obligor, the debt is extinguished. 1 Salk. 306; Cro. Car. 551; 1 Ld. Raym.
515; Ca. Ch. 21, 117. There is, however, an excepted case in relation to a
bond given by the husband to the wife; when it is given to the intended wife
for a provision to take effect after his death. 1 Ld. Raym. 515; 5 T. R.
381; Hut. 17 Hob. 216; Cro. Car. 376; 1 Salk. 326 Palm. 99; Carth. 512; Com.
Dig. Baron & Feme, D. A further exception is the case of a divorce. If one
be bound in an obligation to a feme sole and then marry her, and afterwards
they are divorced, she may sue her former husband on the obligation,
notwithstanding, her action was in suspense during the marriage. 26 H. VIII.
1.
2. Where a person possessed of an estate, becomes in a different right
entitled to a charge upon the estate; the charge is in general merged in the
estate, and does not revive in favor of the personal representative against
the heir; there are particular exceptions, as where the person in whom the
interests unite is a minor, and can therefore dispose of the personalty, but
not of the estate; but in the case of a lunatic the merger and confusion was
ruled to have taken place. 2 Ves. jun. 261. See Louis. Code, art. 801 to
808; 2 Ld. R. 527; 3 L. R. 552 4 L. R. 399, 488. Burge on Sur. Book 2, c.
11, p. 253.
