The traditional field for this exception has been that of declarations against proprietary or pecuniary interest. Common instances of the former are acknowledgments that the declarant does not own certain land or personal property, or that he has conveyed or transferred it. (McCormick, p. 671) 1, record 1, English, - declaration%20against%20proprietary%20interest

So far as declarations against proprietary interest are concerned, possession is prima facie evidence of ownership. A statement by the possessor to the effect that he is not the owner will therefore amount to a declaration against interest. (Cross, p. 553) 1, record 1, English, - declaration%20against%20proprietary%20interest
