42>*Zm  Alluvion  does  not  take  place  on  the  borders  of  lakes  and
ponds  which  are  private  property  ;  neither  the  proprietor  of  the  lake
nor  the  proprietor  of  the  adjacent  land  gains  or  loses  in  consequence
of  the  waters  happening  to  rise  or  fall  above  or  below  their  ordinary
level.  — fflLi.  7,  §  ()  ;  L.  12,  De  aqairendo  reritni ;  2  Bousquet,  p.  59  ;

4*ZS*  If  a  river  or  stream,  whether  navigable  or  not,  carry  away
by  sudden  force  a  considerable  and  distinguishable  part  of  an  adja-
cent field  and  bear  it  towards  a  lower  or  opposite  bank,  the  proprietor
of  the  part  carried  away  may  reclaim  it;  [but  he  is  obliged,  on  pain
of  forfeiting  his  right,  to  do  so  within  a  year,  to  be  reckoned  from
the  possession  taken  of  it  by  the  proprietor  of  the  land  to  which  it
has  been  united.]— ;^*  L.  7,  §  2,  Deadquirendo  rerum\    Auc.  Deniz.,
