Manure dropped in the street belongs originally to the owners of the animals that dropped it, but, if abandoned by them, the first taker has a right to it; Haslem v. Ijockwood, 37 Conn. 5(X), 9 Am. Rep. 350. See Emblements. MANUS (Lat. hand), anciently, signified the person taking an oath as a compurgator. The use of this word probably came from the party laying his hand on the New Testament. Manus signifies, among the civilians, power, and is frequently used as synonymous with potestas.
