X.

There are three things which ought not to be allowed to exist in a country, viz. 1. Witchcraft, particularly at critical junctures. The fine to be imposed in such cases is forty thousand; and if any thing is lost, it is to be laid to the charge of the persons who practise that art.

2. Should the _Adipáti_ be the person, he shall be treated according to the _Sábda suwára_, i. e. he shall be dismissed from his office, and his officers and relatives will be considered as implicated in the crime.

3. Should the _Mántris_ be found guilty of witchcraft, they shall be fined one hundred thousand.
