Et si ejus maleficii, cujus arguitur(reus) corpore plectendus foret, servetur in carcerem ; si pecuniaria mulctandus aliave pœna, nihil ad corpus attingente, caveat idonee apud Actuarium causæ de stando juri, etc.
Si quis maleficii, vel delicti, aut criminis accusatus fuerit,... is qui accusavit,... satisdet apud Actuarium curiæ magistratus de impensis accusato vel delato reficiendis, etc.
