The text explains that a person with delegated jurisdiction cannot hold an advisory council, and that the authority to conduct an inquiry regarding the sale of a ward's property cannot be transferred through delegation.
[ULPIANUS libro tertio de omnibus tribunalibus.]
[ULPIANUS, On All Tribunals, Book 3.]
Mandata iurisdictione a praeside consilium non potest exercere is,1 cui mandatur.
Where jurisdiction has been delegated by a governor, the person to whom it is delegated cannot hold a council.
Si tutores uel curatores uelint praedia uendere, causa cognita2 id praetor uel praeses permittat: quod si mandauerit iurisdictionem, nequaquam poterit mandata iurisdictione eam quaestionem transferre.
If tutors or curators wish to sell landed estates, the praetor or governor should permit this only after an inquiry into the case; but if he delegates his jurisdiction, he can by no means transfer that inquiry by the delegation of jurisdiction.
