CONT

Possession naturelle, est la détention de quelque chose qui appartient à autrui: cette possession est de deux sortes; l'une qui est juste, comme quand un créancier possède la chose qui lui a été donnée en gage par son débiteur; l'autre qui est injuste, est celle d'un voleur et d'un possesseur de mauvaise foi, qui joint à la détention de la chose, l'envie de la retenir, quoiqu'il n'ait pas droit de le faire.
