[If it was found] between common [money] and [second] tithes [money] and it was nearer to the common [money], it is considered common [money]; if nearer to the [second] tithes [money], it is considered [second] tithes [money]; if midway, it is considered [second] tithes [money]. This is the general rule: such money is assigned to that which is nearer to it, even if it is thereby made less important; but if midway, it is assigned to that which is the more important. |
