Talio  esto   is   the   cormnand   of  the    law.      But   that    is  alraost
exeptional,   and  the  usual  redress   is  a  penalty   or  reparation.
For  the  breaking   of  a  freeiian's  tooth  the  penalty  is  three
hundred  asses ;   for   that   of  a  slave   one  hundred  and  fifty;   for
other   injuries  twenty-five.      For   a  trespass  couaiiitted  by
pasturing  one's  cattle  upon  the   lands  of  another   an  action
for   daiiiagee   is  given  but   for   injuries  done   by   a  ouacxruped
the   remedy   is  reparation  or   the   forfeiture   of  the   animal.
Theft  was   still  regarded  as  a  trespass  against   the    individual.
