If a woman makes an assignation with a man to come to her bed or behind a bush, the man is not considered guilty even if she screams. If she has not agreed to a meeting, however, he is guilty as soon as she screams.

If the chief wife scratches the concubine but it is out of rightful jealousy that she does it, she is exempt from liability for injuries. The same does not hold true for injuries by the concubine.

Six cows are the fine for breaking a tribesman's two front teeth; twelve heifers, for maiming a homeless man. For pulling off the hairs of a virgin bishop the fine is one yearling heifer for every twenty hairs.

The doctor shall build his house over a running stream. His house must not be slovenly or smeared with the tracks of snails. It must have four doors that open so the patients may be seen from every side at all times.

No fools, drunks or female scolds are allowed in the doctor's house when a patient is healing there. No bad news to be brought, and no talking across the bed. No grunting of pigs or barking dogs outside.

If the doctor heals your wound, but it breaks out anew because of his carelessness, neglect or gross want of skill, he must return the fee you paid. He must also pay you damage as if he himself had wounded.

Cow, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, hens, geese --noisy goods! Little bees that stick to all flowers. These are the ten beasts of all the world's men. (The chieftain who is keeper of the free public hostel must have one hundred of all of these.)

The hostel-keeper must own a cauldron large enough to boil a pig and a cow at the same time. Before taking the meat out of the boiling cauldron the attendant must warn, "Stand back - here goes the fleshfork into the cauldron!"

A layman may drink six pints of ale with his dinner, but a monk may drink only three pints. This is so he will not be intoxicated when prayer - time arrives.

The feller of trees must warn all within shouting distance before he takes the first blow. All beasts, blind persons and people dozing must be removed from the area.

If an accident occurs while a building is under construction no fine is due for injury to the bystander who is present only out of curiosity. Should the owners of the building have knowledge of danger or defect, however, full payment shall be made to those present on legitimate business, and to beasts. (But only half payment to idlers.)
