2 Kent, Comm. 347.
RES NOVA (Lat.) Something new; something not before decided. RES NULLIUS (Lat.) A thing which has no owner. A thing which has been abandoned by its owner is as much res nullius as if it had never belonged to any one. The first possessor of such a thing becomes the owner; res nullius fit primi occupantis.
Bowyer, Comm. 97.
