Note 231 — Chapter III · CONFESSION
Richard F. (Richard Frederick) Clarke translation
Cf. S. Alph. Lib. VI. n. 479; H. A. n. 35; Gury-Ballerini (l. c. II. n. 503) and Lehmkuhl (l. c. n. 328) object to binding the dumb to a written confession; a fortiori the confessor may refrain from putting questions in writing with a view of making the confession more complete. If, however, a dumb person desire to confess in writing, the confessor is at liberty to comply with his wish.
