Here follow eight more cases, viz.

1. _Cupíta sábda permána_, where one of four persons engaged in a law-suit, being deputed to act for the others, it appears, on examination of the witnesses, that the affair cannot be settled with this one person.

2. _Hanúk meng tan wíring wísa_, where a witness, on re-examination, gives a different account from that which he gave when previously examined by the _Jáksa_. In such case the _Jáksa_ must endeavour to discover which is the most plausible account of the two.

3. _Kawílut tára_, where opposition takes place between the witnesses, or between those whose cause it is, and others who have been eye-witnesses of what is the subject of litigation.

4. _Bháning hanámpuh tóya_, where a person is assisted by one who is in the administration of justice.

5. _Ng'ádang tárka_, where, on a trial taking place, the deposition of a party differs from the account previously taken down by the _Jáksa_. In this case, such party should be cast.

6. _Ng'áling'ga pandáya_, when one takes for witnesses worthless persons who cannot be depended on or believed.

7. _Eluádi_, where a person changes, tears, or makes an erasure in any paper.

8. _Kahústi sábda parláya_, where a person shamelessly makes free with what belongs to another, who is neither a friend nor relation.
