The Same, On the Edict, Book XXI. Where the son of a family is a judge, and makes the case his own, he is liable for a sum equal in value to his peculium when he rendered his decision. 1A judge is understood to make the case his own when he maliciously renders a decision in violation of law. He is held to do this maliciously, where it is clearly proved that either favor, enmity, or even corruption, influenced him; and, under these circumstances, he can be forced to pay the true amount of the matter in controversy.

A person, to whom a legacy was bequeathed under a condition is not a creditor of the estate while the condition is pending, but only after it has been fulfilled; although it is established that anyone who stipulated under a condition remains a creditor while that condition is in abeyance. 1We should understand creditors to be those who are entitled to a civil action (provided they cannot be barred by an exception), or a prætorian action, or an action in factum.
