Note 333 — Book IX.
John Beames translation
This differed from the Norman code, which, in a tone of haughty despotism, released the Lord from the necessity of adducing any testimony. Vox enim sola Domini Curiæ in iis quæ ad ipsum pertinent sufficit ad accusationem subditorum. (Grand Cust. c. 126.) Perhaps a worse principle never disgraced an Eastern code.
