"Property" also signifies a beneficial right in or to a thing. Sometimes the term is used as equivalent to ownership.... Property in this sense is divided into general and special or qualified. (Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1447)

CONT

The bailee has the right to possession, and the rights annexed to possession. He is therefore said to have a special or qualified property or ownership in the goods, as contrasted with the general property or ownership of the owner. (Osborn's, 6th ed., 1976, p. 272)
