Advocates Case Study 4 ... Beans

On a visit to the city of Telnus a citizen of Thentis noticed black wine being served at the public cafe. They sat and ordered one and noted it was made with fresh beans. On their return to Thentis they mentioned this fact to the Admin.

Given the very high price and indeed the virtual refusal of Thentis to ever trade in Black wine, this meant that the beans must have been aquired by unlawful means and the Admin sent a troop of Guards to the cafe at Telnus. There they discovered the Beans had been supplied by a trader called Busby. The trader was quickly found and siezed along with all the beans. He was bound and brought to Thentis to stand trial.

As usual consider how you might defend...or prosecute this case.
 
 

Advocates Case Study 5 ... Ownership

 
 
WARRANT FOR THE CAPTURE AND RETURN OF AN ACCUSED CRIMINAL
Let it be known to all Free within the established boundaries of
The Cities of <city name>
And
All of Civilized Gor
That
On this, the 16th day of Kavars 10,158 CA, also referenced as the Earth date of March 1st 2009
One Wayne Rooney, with intent to commit theft, accepted the begging for collar of one kajira, a slave already in the collar of Lady Rio Ferdinand. He is hereby charged with the crime against local and Gorean Merchant Law- thus being:
THEFT
This warrant is issued as a notice that any and all free citiziens of Gor are hereby authorized to bring about his (LIVE) return to the Civil Administrator, Judicial Magistrate or Miltiary authority of the City of <city name> under sureties of safe passage for this purpose.
BE THIS KNOWN TO ALL CITIZENS, RESIDENTS AND PEOPLES OF   <city name> AND OF GOR
 
Attested by my hand and judicially ordered by – <magistrate's name>, Judicial Magistrate of  <city name>



Now..this is a copy of a real warrant. The city in question was a small settlement...not actually a homestone as such. The girl apparently submited to Him. So, is it even valid to issue this warrant against Him? Assuming it goes to trial think through the important factors and be ready to prosecute or defend.
