Confusio

In the civil law. The inseparable intermixture of property belonging to different owners; it is properly confined to the pouring together of fluids, but is sometimes also used of a melting together of metals or any compound formed by the irrecoverable commixture of different substances. It is distinguished from commixtion by the fact that in the latter case a separation may be made, while in a case of confusio there cannot be. 2 Bl. Comm. 405.

Lat. [from confundere, to poor together.] In the civil law. Confusion; a pouring or fusing together; a mixture of liquids or metals. Inst, 2. 1. 27. One of the modes of acquiring property in goods, and distinguished from commixtio, which properly was the intermingling of dry substances, as com. Inst. 2. 1. 27, 28. Bract, fol. 10. There might be two sorts of confusio, viz. of similar substances, as of the wine of one man with the wine of another, or the gold of one with the gold of another; or of dissimilar substances, as wine with honey, or gold with silver. In either case, if the materials were mingled by mutual consent, or fortuitously without the consent of the owners, the whole mass as mingled was common to both. Inst, 2. 1. 27.
