Ex libro XV
Dig. 3,4,8Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Civitates si per eos qui res earum administrant non defenduntur nec quicquam est corporale rei publicae quod possideatur, per actiones debitorum civitatis agentibus satisfieri oportet.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. Where a municipal corporation is not defended by those who have charge of its affairs, and no common property exists of which possession may be obtained, payment must be made to those who bring suit for debts owing to the corporation.
Dig. 4,6,34Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Miles commeatu accepto si domo sua est, rei publicae causa abesse non videtur. 1Qui operas in publico, quod vectigalium causa locatum est, dat, rei publicae causa non abest.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. A soldier who is at home on a furlough is not held to be absent in the service of the State. 1A person who gives his services for the collection of public taxes which have been farmed out, is not absent in the service of the State.
Dig. 5,1,34Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Si is qui Romae iudicium acceperat decessit, heres eius quamvis domicilium trans mare habet, Romae tamen defendi debet, quia succedit in eius locum, a quo heres relictus est.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. When a party dies after having joined issue at Rome, his heir, even though he resides beyond sea, must defend the case at Rome, because he succeeds to the place of him by whom he was appointed heir.
Dig. 12,3,9Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Cum furti agitur, iurare ita oportet ‘tanti rem fuisse cum furtum factum sit’, non adici ‘eo plurisve’, quia quod res pluris est, utique tanti est.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. Where proceedings for theft are instituted, the value of the property at the time when the theft was committed must be sworn to, without adding the words, “Or more,” because where property is worth more, it is, at all events, worth as much.
Dig. 16,2,14Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Quaecumque per exceptionem peremi possunt, in compensationem non veniunt.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. Any claim that can be destroyed by an exception cannot be included in a set-off.
Dig. 47,2,72Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Si is, cui commodata res erat, furtum ipsius admisit, agi cum eo et furti et commodati potest: et, si furti actum est, commodati actio exstinguitur, si commodati, actioni furti exceptio obicitur. 1Eius rei, quae pro herede possidetur, furti actio ad possessorem non pertinet, quamvis usucapere quis possit, quia furti agere potest is, cuius interest rem non subripi, interesse autem eius videtur qui damnum passurus est, non eius qui lucrum facturus esset.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. When a person to whom an article has been lent for use steals it, an action for theft as well as one on loan can be brought against him, and if the one for theft should be brought, the right of action on loan will be extinguished; and if the one on loan is brought, an exception can be pleaded in bar of the action for theft. 1Where property is held by anyone in the capacity of heir, the possessor will not be entitled to the action for theft, although he can obtain the property by usucaption; because he who is interested in not having it stolen can bring the action for theft. This, however, seems to be the interest of the person who would suffer the injury, and not of him who would be pecuniarily benefited.
Dig. 47,2,74Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Si is, qui pignori rem accepit, cum de vendendo pignore nihil convenisset, vendidit, aut ante, quam dies venditionis veniret pecunia non soluta, id fecit: furti se obligat.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. If anyone who receives property in pledge should sell it, when no agreement had been made with reference to its sale while pledged, or if he should dispose of it before the day of sale arrives, and the debt is not paid, he renders himself liable for theft.
Dig. 47,7,12Iavolenus libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Qui agrum vendidit, nihilo minus furtim arborum caesarum agere potest.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XV. Anyone who sells a field, can, nevertheless, bring an action for the cutting of trees before the sale has been concluded.
Dig. 50,4,13Idem libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. Vacatio itemque immunitas, quae liberis et posteris alicuius data est, ad eos dumtaxat pertinet, qui eius familiae sunt.
The Same, On Cassius, Book XV. Exemption and immunity from public employments conceded to the children and descendants of anyone only have reference to persons belonging to his family.
