"The peculium or personal property of the slave usually passes with him to a new master unless it is specially excepted in the terms of sale: there is also the usual guaranty as to the health of the slave and that he has committed no theft or tort for which his master is legally responsible, and, unless the purchase is by mancipation, the bargain is bound by an obligation of double indemnity, or in the amount of the purchase price alone, if that is the agreement.
'I thank ye baith, my good lads, said the Baron, 'but I will not infringe upon your peculium. Bailie Macwheeble has provided the sum which is necessary. Here the Bailie shifted and fidgeted about in his seat, and appeared extremely uneasy.
Each had a share of copra, her peculium, to dispose of for herself. The display in the trade-room hats, ribbbons, dresses, scents, tins of salmon the pride of the eye and the lust of the flesh tempted them in vain.
In ascertaining the amount of the peculium deduction is first made of what is owed to the master or any person in his power, and the residue only is treated as peculium; though sometimes what a slave owes to a person in his master's power is not deducted, for instance, where that person is another slave who himself belongs to the peculium; thus, where a slave owes a debt to his own vicarial slave, its amount is not deducted from the peculium.

Accordingly, if a son in power makes a will of his military peculium, it will belong to the person whom he institutes as heir: but if he dies intestate, leaving no children or brothers surviving him, it will go to the parent in whose power he is, according to the ordinary rule.
Nine-tenths of all the clamor was the voice of slaves, each one of them an expert in his master's business and often richer than the owners of the men he dealt with, saving his peculium the personal savings which slaves were sometimes encouraged to accumulate to buy his freedom when a more than usually profitable deal should put his master in a good mood.
