187. Whoso appropriates what belongs to the community or violates his engagement [with the community], shall forfeit his property and be banished the realm.[285] 188. The word of those who [are appointed to] superintend the affairs[286] of the community must be obeyed by all [the members]: he who acts in violation thereof shall be amerced in the first [_i. e._ lowest] fine.[287] 189. Those who have come [from other parts] upon the affairs of the community shall, upon completion of the business, be dismissed by the monarch, with gifts, with honour, and with hospitable entertainment. 190. An emissary upon the business of the community shall deliver up whatever he has received [on their account]: if he fail to deliver voluntarily, he shall be amerced eleven times the value [of what he withholds]. 191. They who have direction of the affairs of the community should be such as know their duties,[288] are pure minded, and not covetous; their word for the welfare of the community is to be followed. 192. What has just been enjoined is obligatory in like manner upon communities of craftsmen, of traders, and of _páshaṇḍas._[289] The monarch should preserve their distinctive character, and make them respectively adhere to their original callings.[290] 193. If one, after receipt of wages, abandon his work, he shall pay double the amount; if [he desert] when he has not received [his wages], he shall pay a sum equal [to his wages].[291] The implements shall be in charge of the workman.[292] 194. The monarch shall oblige him who gets work done without having previously fixed the rate of hire, to pay a tenth part, [whether] earnings in trade or [in care] of cattle, or [in cultivation] of corn. 195. A master[293] may treat as he thinks right one who disregards time or place, or [so acts that he] prevents profit being earned.[294] The more that is done, the more shall be given. 196. Where work [contracted for by two] cannot be proceeded with by the two,[295] [the one who has to abandon the work] shall be paid according to what he has performed; but, if practicable, the original contract should be carried out.[296] 197. If goods [when in transport from place to place] be lost, the carrier shall pay their value; except [the loss be] occasioned by the monarch or by act of God. If he [who has contracted to transport goods] cause them not to start on the journey, he shall be made to pay twice the amount of his hire: 198. if he abandon [his charge] when at the outset of the journey, he shall pay [a sum equal to] a seventh part [of the hire]; if, when he has proceeded to some distance, a fourth part; if when half-way, the entire amount of hire. The like [rule is to be observed] where [the hirer] breaks [his contract]. 199. If a professed gambler win at play [as much as] one hundred [_paṇas_], he shall pay to the keeper of the house one-fifth: others shall pay [the keeper] a tenth of their winnings.
