166/1 Laband, Vermogensrechtlichen Klagen, Section 16, pp. 108
et seq.; Heusler, Gewere, 487, 492. These authors correct the
earlier opinion of Bruns, R. d. Besitzes, Section 37, pp. 313 et
seq., adopted by Sohm in his Proc. d. Lex Salica, Section 9. Cf.
the discussion of sua in writs of trespass, &c. in the English
law, at the end of Lecture VI. Those who wish short accounts in
English may consult North Amer. Rev., CX. 210, and see Id.,
CXVIII. 416; Essays in Anglo-Saxon Law, pp. 212 et seq. Our
knowledge as to the primitive form of action is somewhat meagre
and dependent on inference. Some of the earliest texts are Ed.
Liutpr. 131; Lex Baiw., XV. 4; L. Frision. Add. X.; L. Visig.,
V.5. I; L. Burg., XLIX. I, 2. The edict of Liutprand, dealing
with housebreaking followed by theft of property left in charge
of the householder, lays down that the owner shall look to the
bailee alone, and the bailee shall hold the thief both for the
housebreaking and for the stolen goods.
