[271]
Let death be the punishment for stealing a man; but he that hath
purloined gold or silver, let him pay double. If any one kill a man that
is stealing something out of his house, let him be esteemed guiltless,
although the man were only breaking in at the wall. Let him that hath stolen
cattle pay fourfold what is lost, excepting the case of an ox, for which
let the thief pay fivefold. Let him that is so poor that he cannot pay
what mulet is laid upon him, be his servant to whom he was adjudged to
pay it.
