De Vsu-capione.
Atinia lex.
A Tinius made a law,* 1.1 that the plea of prescription or
long possession should not availe in things that had
beene stollen, but the interest which the right owner
had in those stolne goods should remaine perpetuall. The
words of the law are these: Quod surreptū est, eius rei aeterna
auctoritas esset. Where byp 1.2auctoritas is meant ius dominij.
This crime of theft as likewise of vsury was so odious vnto
the Romanes that whosoever was found guilty therof was
condemnedq 1.3Lege quadrupli .i. to pay foure times as much:
whence the informers against such were tearmed Quadru∣platores.
