duabus septimanis put; and the second lawsuit post poenam contumatiae, which is also to be presented, like the first two Sundays a year ago. And the lawsuit is to be sub sigillo terrestri illius terrae in qua citatus est indigena et terrigena. And the title of both the land court and this ordinarium is to be written as follows: Nos consilariii proceres odines et universa nobilitatis terrarum Russiae vigore regis et decreti electionis regis de constituendis iudiciis regni etc. tibi nobili etc. mandamus authoritate attributa, ut coram iudicio terrestri in N. proxime celebrando personaliter compareas. Also, to the municipal court or office, the starosta's title should be written, vigore regio et decreti electionis regis de constituendis iudiciis regni, etc. there will be writings. 16. About the records of protests at those courts. All records, protestations and confessions, are also to be testified before the court, and they are to be of the same importance as those of the Sejm or the land. 17. For answers. If anyone has an answer to someone's throat, then they should use it against each other four Sundays before the courts and throughout all the courts, and there are also four Sundays after the courts, so that everyone can attend the court et sic deinceps two Sundays before the sejmik and two after the sejmik, during which iudices will be elected, and this is sub poena infamiae. 18. About dilations. Do not forget this either, that in termino appellationis ciuslibet, in accordance with common law and ancient customs, no dilacya na munimenta should be given or granted, and indeed everyone should be ready in appellatione or motione cum munitmentis, exceptis causis ex cittationibus iuris. Also, the causations which would be due ab accessorio if the accessorium was cut off, the dilatation there is to be given ad munimenta ad futura iudicia, because during this time all files were subject to tempore interregni. Upon the presentation of the authenticity of the dilation, every earthly court should open its books and issue munimenta in future judgments. And even if a registry office opens temere in ordinary times and does not want to issue a commune, it will have to compensate the defendant victus iure for the damage, and it will have to answer peremptorie to the same court.') 19. As for the execution of these courts, the starostas should enforce all these decrees from them sub poenis supra descriptis, vilelicet sub privatione officii. And wherever the law was brought against a starosta, the vicinior capitaneus of that voivodeship is to execute the execution, and his county and the other county to which the starosta will be iurevictus are to be obeyed sub poenis legum. 20. About subscriptions. And from the death of the king until the decision of the present courts, no prescriptions et abusus inscriptionum fatalia are to be made. 21. Of dead officials. And if in any land there are no land court officials, or one of them has died at that time, then the voivode should reserve the election period in that land and at the same time elect one person in his place so that the office is complete and there is no lying around and judging the years. 22. Of things judged by the hood. And all the things that have been judged under the hood, all those according to the secondary confederation that we have decided in Lviv are to end, as described by the confederation, and with this execution we are bound by the obligation in this confederation a) described. And we approve all such matters, judged at any legal level by the confederation, by our congress, and that the starosts should execute them iuxta praescriptum iuris communis et confoederationis, sub poenis iuribus et confoederationibus contentis. 23. And wherever there is a caucus against one of the presidents, he will have to get up from his seat and not be present at the veto; and every judge whose judgment shall be. 24. We have appointed a district assembly before the general assembly, which is to be pro die 12 mensis Mali in Stężyca, to which assembly the voivode is to inform us of the time and place through his universals, as needed. 25. We have also decided that ex nunc, according to the need, the voivode or their office should execute the order.
a) Constitutional law.
*) This article, as it follows from the Chełm Laudum of April 7, 1676, seemed unnecessary to the people of Chełm and very harmful to human justice, which is why they decided at a separate meeting to consider its improvement, and the introduction and improvement of these voivodeship courts in general.
