Ruling: YES. The carabaos were given on commodatum as these were delivered to be used by defendant.
Upon failure of defendant to return the cattle upon demand, he is under the obligation to indemnify the
plaintiff by paying him their value. Since the 6 carabaos were not the property of the deceased or of any
of his descendants, it is the duty of the administratrix of the estate to either return them or indemnify
the owner thereof of their value.
