Note 227 — FIRST SECTION.

Aulus Gellius, Noct. Attic., bk. IV. 14.;—where an action at law is cited, in which the aedile Mancinus had wished to force his way at night into the lodging of Mamilia, a courtesan, who had thrown stones and chased him away. In the result we read: Tribuni decreverunt aedilem ex eo loco iure dejectum, quo eum venire cum coronario non decuisset. (The tribunes gave as their decision that the aedile had been lawfully driven from that place, as being one that he ought not to have visited with his officer). This happened, as is seen by comparison with Livy, bk. XL. ch. 35., in the year B. C. 180.
