By the speech of the divine Marcus, exceptions are established allowing certain urgent legal matters (such as appointing guardians, granting possession for an unborn child, or settling maintenance) to be brought before the praetor even on holidays.
[IDEM libro quinto ad edictum.]
[THE SAME, On the Edict, book 5]
Eadem oratione diuus Marcus in senatu recitata1 effecit de aliis speciebus praetorem adiri2 etiam diebus feriaticis: ut puta ut tutores aut curatores dentur: ut offici admoneantur cessantes: excusationes allegentur: alimenta constituantur: aetates probentur: uentris nomine3 in possessionem mittatur, uel rei seruandae causa, uel legatorum fideiue commissorum, uel damni infecti: item de testamentis exhibendis: ut curator detur bonorum eius, cui an heres exstaturus sit incertum est: aut de alendis liberis parentibus patronis: aut de adeunda suspecta hereditate: aut ut aspectu4 atrox iniuria aestimetur: uel fideicommissaria libertas praestanda.
By the same speech read in the senate, the divine Marcus brought it about that the praetor could be approached concerning other specific matters even on holidays: as for instance, that tutors or curators be appointed; that those who neglect their duty be admonished of their duty; that excuses be alleged; that maintenance be established; that ages be proved; that possession be granted in the name of an unborn child, or for the purpose of preserving property, or on account of legacies or trusts, or of threatened damage; likewise, concerning the production of wills; that a curator be appointed for the property of one of whom it is uncertain whether an heir will exist; or concerning the support of children, parents, or patrons; or concerning the entry upon a suspect inheritance; or that a heinous injury be assessed by its physical appearance; or that freedom bequeathed under a trust must be granted.
