QUIRITARIAN OWNERSHIP, In Roman law. Ownership held by a title recognized by the municipal law, in an object also recognized by that law, and in the strict character of a Roman citizen. "Roman law originally only recognized one kind of dominion, called, emphatically, 'quiritary dominion.' Gradually, however, certain real rights a rose which, though they failed to satisfy all the 'elements of the definition of quiritary dominion, were practically its equivalent, and. received from the courts a similar protection. These real rights might fall short of quiritary dominion in three respects: (1) Either in respect ot the persons in whom they resided; (2) or of the subjects to which. they related; or (3) of the title by which they were acquired." In the latter case, the• ownership was called "bonitarian," i. e., "the property of a Roman citizen, in a subject capable of quiritary property, acquired by a title not known to the civil law, but intro-. duced by the prretor and protected by his imperium or supreme executive power;" e. g., where res mancipi had been transferred by mere tradition.
