SECOND LAWYER. But does not Justinian say expressly, libro secundoInstitutionum, titulo prima, de Alluvione... HERMAN. What the deuce do I care for what Justinian or Alexander theGreat says? They lived a few thousand years, perhaps, before Hamburgwas founded. How can they decide in cases which didn't exist intheir time? SECOND LAWYER. I hope, however, that your Honor is not going toreject the laws that all Germany has submitted to. HERMAN. That was not the way I meant it; you misunderstood me, ...Ionly meant to say--(He has a coughing fit. ) Kindly continue yourcase. SECOND LAWYER. There are the words of Justinian: Quod per alluvionemagro tuo flumen adjecit, jure gentium tibi acquiritur. HERMAN. Mr. Lawyer, you speak so devilish fast--say that over, moredistinctly. (The lawyer repeats the Latin slowly. ) Monsieur, youhave a devilish bad Latin pronunciation. Speak your mother-tongue, and you will do better. I don't say this because I have anyprejudice against Latin, for I sometimes sit and talk Latin with myservant for hours at a time.
