| Back | Well then, on this river there was a bridge, and at one end of it a gallows, and a sort of tribunal, where four judges commonly sat to administer the law which the lord of river, bridge and the lordship had enacted, and which was to this effect, 'If anyone crosses by this bridge from one side to the other he shall declare on oath where he is going to and with what object; and if he swears truly, he shall be allowed to pass, but if falsely, he shall be put to death for it by hanging on the gallows erected there, without any remission.' |

| Front | Digo, pues, que sobre este río estaba una puente, y al cabo della, una horca y una como casa de audiencia, en la cual de ordinario había cuatro jueces que juzgaban la ley que puso el dueño del río, de la puente y del señorío, que era en esta forma: "Si alguno pasare por esta puente de una parte a otra, ha de jurar primero adónde y a qué va; y si jurare verdad, déjenle pasar; y si dijere mentira, muera por ello ahorcado en la horca que allí se muestra, sin remisión alguna". |
