[Footnote 94: Manu ch. 8, sl. 40: in which, to the monarch who fails to make restitution is imputed the guilt of the thief. Sir Wm. Jones' translation of this passage is too indefinite.] [Footnote 95: _i. e._ The bráhmaṇ borrower gives two hundredths, the kshattriya three hundredths, &c. (_M._) But Jagannát'ha, in his Digest (Colebrooke, B. 1, c. 1, s. 28) interprets the text inversely, _viz._ the bráhmaṇ creditor takes two _suvarṇas_ in a hundred, the kshattriya three, and so on. Manu, ch. 8, sl. 140-142.] [Footnote 96: where there is risk of life or property. (_M._)] [Footnote 97: as well bráhmaṇs as others, (_M._) Manu ch. 8, sl. 157.] [Footnote 98: _scil._ Notwithstanding the above provisions of the law, where nothing is expressly stipulated, whatever interest is contracted for must be given and taken.] [Footnote 99: oil, ghee, &c. (_M._)] [Footnote 100: Manu enumerates five modes of enforcing or recovering a debt; persuasion, law-suits, artifice, worrying, force: ch. 8, sl. 49.] [Footnote 101: as a fine. (_M._)] [Footnote 102: to defray the cost of adjudication. (_M._)] [Footnote 103: This includes one of equal cast (_M._) Manu ch. 8, sl. 177; also ch. 9, sl. 229.] [Footnote 104: in conformity with the usages of his class. (_M._)] [Footnote 105: This includes every debtor of superior cast to the creditor. (_M._)] [Footnote 106: This rule of course (as observed by the Commentator) includes the head or manager of the family himself, if alive. Manu, ch. 8, sl. 166.] [Footnote 107: for drinking. (_M._)] [Footnote 108: _e.g._ what is promised to a flatterer, a mountebank, a panegyrist, a prize-fighter, &c. (_M._) Manu ch. 8, sl. 159.] [Footnote 109: The Commentator explains this to mean, an acknowledgment by the husband on his death-bed or when about to go abroad.] [Footnote 110: Colebrooke's translation of this passage adds "or son," but this is unauthorised either by the text or the Commentary.] [Footnote 111: The Commentator adduces in illustration, his being afflicted with incurable disease.] [Footnote 112: and this, notwithstanding they are wholly without patrimony or estate derived from their father. (_M._)] [Footnote 113: that there is such a debt.] [Footnote 114: capable of inheriting and managing. (_M._)] [Footnote 115: _i. e._ marries.] [Footnote 116: This is the reading sanctioned by the Commentator, _viz._ _putro' nanya'sritadravyah_, signifying, that, on failure of those before designated, a son who would be otherwise incapable, by reason of blindness, &c. is to be deemed capable. Another reading may be, as suggested by the Commentator, _putro nú'aya'sritadraoyah_, "not the son whose paternal estate another holds," which is adopted by Colebrooke, and by his author, Jagannát'ha, (Dig. B. 1, ch. 5, s. 171)] [Footnote 117: _e.g._ "Give such a one money, he will not deceive you; he is the son of such a one." (_M._)] [Footnote 118: "If he do not pay, I will." (_M._)] [Footnote 119: Manu ch. 8, sl. 160-162.]
