Primary Text
If at the time the deposit was made a place
was designated for the return of the thing, the depositary
must take the thing deposited to such place; but the
expenses for transportation shall be borne by the
depositor.
If no place has been designated for the return, it shall be
made where the thing deposited may be, even if it should
not be the same place where the deposit was made,
provided that there was no malice on the part of the
depositary. (1774)
