Definition and

Classification.

A

bailment, properly so called, is a delivery of personal 1071. chattels in trust, on a contract, express or implied, that the trust shall be duly executed, and the chattels redelivered in either their original or an altered form, as soon as the time or use for which they were bailed shall have elapsed or been performed (a). A bailment is

thus distinguishable from a sale (b), the latter being effected wherever chattels are delivered on a contract for an equivalent in money or money's worth, and not for the return of the identical chattels in their original or

an altered form

(c).
