We will examine hereafter into the
appropriate expression; at present let us prove the fact, which they do not deny, and let us
inquire into the law of the case, and the proper method of proceeding by law under such
circumstances.
This fact is proved, which is not denied by the opposite party,—that Caecina, when
he had come on the appointed day, and at the appointed time, in order that a formal and
regular ejectment might take place, was driven away and prevented from entering by open
violence, by men collected: together in arms. As this is proved, I, a man unskilled in law,
ignorant of matters of business and of law-suits, think that I can proceed in this way, that I
can obtain my rights and prosecute you for the injury I have sustained, by means of the
interdict which I have obtained. Suppose that I am mistaken in this, and that I cannot
possibly obtain what I wish by means of this interdict. In this affair I wish to take you for
my master.
