A bailment of an article to be used by the borrower without paying for the use.
2 Kent, Comm. (4th Ed.) 573.
Loan for use (called commodatum in the civil law) differs from a loan for consumption (called mutuum in the civil law) in this, that the commodatum must be specifically returned; the mutuum is to be returned in kind. In the case of a commodatum,, the property in the thing remains in the lender; in a mutuum, the property passes to the borrower.
