    n 1: an action brought to recover damages from a person who has
         taken goods or property from its rightful owner

from 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.
