CHAPTER 23. -- The Musketeers. In It Are 3 Articles.

1. Try musketeers and render justice among them in all cases except robbery and red-handed theft in the Musketeers Chancellery. The grounds for collecting fees from musketeers for their suits in judicial cases are written above this.

2. If a musketeer sues a non-musketeer for something in another chancellery: he shall initiate that suit of his against the non-musketeer in the other chancellery on the basis of a signed petition from the Musketeers Chancellery. Do not grant musketeers a trial in any chancellery against anyone for any reason without signed petitions.

If someone proceeds to make a counter claim against a musketeer: grant a trial against him in that same chancellery.

3. If a musketeer proceeds to sue another musketeer for dishonor [to] him and his wife, and he wins the case: on the basis of the judicial case, exact the money for the dishonors to the musketeer and his wife from the losing litigant.

If a musketeer proceeds to petition the sovereign that he has nothing from which to pay that dishonor compensation and would he inflict a punishment on him for that dishonor: in response to that petition of his, order a punishment inflicted on him for that dishonor, beat him with the knout so that he and others like him will learn not to dishonor their brother musketeers and their wives.
