n 1: an action brought to recover damages from a person who has
taken goods or property from its rightful owner
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):
TRESPASS DE BONIS ASPORTATIS, practice. The action brought by the owner of
goods for unlawfully taking and carrying them away, is so called. This
action will lie for taking away another's goods, even though he should
return them, because by such taking he has deprived the owner of his right
to enjoy them. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 3611.
