⁷³⁹ Under the law of the Twelve Tables in Rome a creditor could put the debtor to death or sell him to a stranger beyond the Tiber or, if there were several creditors, they could divide the body of the debtor among themselves after the third market day (Table III in Ortolan's Roman Law p. 106). Vide Sen's 'Hindu Jurisprudence' pp. 316-17 for later Roman and Irish rules.
