XXIX. Concerning the Magistrates or Judges

When a man is accused of a crime, such a man may perhaps, take enticing property (a bribe) to the magistrate or judge, that his sentence may be diminished; but the magistrate or judge shall on no account receive such bribe or property. The magistrate or judge who shall receive the property (or present) taken by such individual is criminal. His office shall be discontinued or taken away; neither shall he ever be eligible to be a magistrate or judge again.
