`1`Booty `2`
"Legal Lexicon":
BOOTY - The capture of personal property by a public enemy on land, in contradistinction to prize, which is a capture of such property by such an enemy on the sea.
After booty has been in complete possession of the enemy for twenty-four hours, it becomes absolutely his, without any right of postliminy in favor of the original owner, particularly when it has passed, bona fide, into the hands of a neutral.
The right to the booty belongs to the sovereign but sometimes the right of the sovereign, or the public, is transferred to the soldiers to encourage them.
