ACCESSION, property. The ownership of a thing, whether it be real or
personal, movable or immovable, carries with it the right to all that the
thing produces, and to all that becomes united to it, either naturally or
artificially; this is called the right of accession.
2.-1. The doctrine of property arising from accession, is grounded on
the right of occupancy.
3.-2. The original owner of any thing which receives an accession by
natural or artificial means, as by the growth of vegetables, the pregnancy
of animals; Louis. Code, art. 491; the embroidering of cloth, or the
conversion of wood or metal into vessels or utensils, is entitled to his
right of possession to the property of it, under such its state of
improvement; 5 H. 7, 15; 12 H. 8, 10; Bro. Ab. Propertie, 23; Moor, 20;
Poph. 88. But the owner must be able to prove the identity of the original
materials; for if wine, oil, or bread, be made out of another man's grapes,
olives, or wheat, they belong to the new operator, who is bound to make
satisfaction to the former proprietor for the materials which he has so
converted. 2 Bl. Com. 404; 5 Johns. Rep. 348; Betts v. Lee, 6 Johns. Rep.
