Unless the deposit is for a valuable
consideration, the depositary who may have justifiable
reasons for not keeping the thing deposited may, even
before the time designated, return it to the depositor; and
if the latter should refuse to receive it, the depositary may
secure its consignation from the court. (1776a)
