ARTICLE 130.--In case any one is not able to carry on a case,
and nevertheless thinks he has good grounds for so doing, he shall serve
a written petition to that end upon the Landrost of the Court, before
which he must bring his case. That Court shall grant him the right of
carrying on his case, and exempt him from the payment of law costs,
provided:
(_a_) He has produced a written proof from his Field-Cornet and two of
his neighbors that he is not able to carry it on;
(_b_) That the Court, after a preliminary examination of his demand, and
after having heard the opposite party thereupon, has found that his
demand may be well founded.
ARTICLE 131.--The sittings of the Courts of law shall be held:
Those of the Landrosts every day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Higher Courts according to proclamation and rules making provision
therefor.
ARTICLE 132.--The clerk who without sufficient reason leaves
his place unfilled, can be suspended by the Landrost, with notice to the
President, from his office for a definite time, and another can be
appointed in his place after the latter has taken the oath according to
law.
ARTICLE 133.--The Courts of law shall, in fixing punishments,
bear in mind, that as the same punishment can be lighter or heavier for
one man than another, it is the intention of the legislators, to punish
each one equally severely for a similar transgression of the law; and
that punishments may be fixed in accordance therewith.
