Bl. 129. Money may be held to be converted into land under various circumstances; as where, for example, a man dies before a conveyance is made to him of land which he has bought. 10 Pet. (U. S.) 563; Bouv. Inst. Index. At Law. An unauthorized assumption and exercise of the right of ownership over the exclusion of the owner's rights. 44 Me. 197; 36 N. H. 311. A constructive conversion takes place when a person does such acts in reference to the goods or personal chattels of another as amount, in view of the law, to appropriation of the property to himself. 1 Kelly (Ga.) 381. A direct conversion takes place when a person actually appropriates the property of another to his own beneficial use and enjoyment, or to that of a third person, or destroys it, or alters its nature. 27 Mich. 454.
