Read the next statute,βor is that all of them?βLaw
No decree either of the Council or of the Assembly shall have superior authority to a statute.β
Put it down.βI take it, gentlemen, that a very short and easy argument will serve me to prove that this statute has been violated in the drafting of the decree. When there are so many statutes, and when a man makes a motion that contravenes every one of them, and incorporates a private transaction in a decree, how can anyone deny that he is claiming for his decree authority superior to that of a statute?
