Punishments for Wrathful People
42.10 These punishments are for wrathful people:
1. If someone, out of heedlessness or out of wrath, breaks another’s limbs, puts out their eyes or teeth, or causes any such injury, the perpetrator must pay what the victim asks. If he cannot, he must publicly suffer the same injury as he did to the other. If he does not wish to undergo this, he must appeal to his burgmaid to decide whether he may be sent to work in the iron or tin mines and pay his debt according to the public ruling.
2. If anyone is found who is so evil as to slay a Frya, he must pay for it with his life. If his burgmaid can convey him permanently to the tin mines before he is caught, she may do so.
3. If the accused can prove with acknowledged witnesses that it happened by accident, he shall be set free; but if it happens again, he must indeed go to the tin mines to avoid all manner of absurd vengeance and feuds.
