[IDEM libro quarto ad Urseium Ferocem. ] §16.1.16.prSi mulier contra senatus consultum Uelleianum pro me intercessisset Titio egoque mulieri id soluissem et ab ea Titius eam pecuniam peteret, exceptio huius senatus consulti non est profutura mulieri: neque enim eam periclitari, ne eam pecuniam perdat, cum iam eam habeat.
[THE SAME, On Urseius Ferox, book 4] If a woman, contrary to the Senatusconsultum Velleianum, had interceded on my behalf with Titius, and I had paid that sum to the woman, and Titius demanded that money from her, the exception of this senatusconsultum will not benefit the woman; for she is not in danger of losing that money, since she already has it.
§16.1.16.1Si ab ea muliere, quae contra senatus consultum intercessisset, fideiussorem accepissem, Gaius Cassius respondit.
If I had accepted a surety from that woman who had interceded contrary to the senatusconsultum, Gaius Cassius answered.
respondit ita demum fideiussori exceptionem dandam, si a muliere rogatus fuisset.
He answered that the exception should be given to the surety only if he had been requested by the woman.
Iulianus autem recte putat fideiussori exceptionem dandam, etiamsi mandati actionem aduersus mulierem non habet, quia totam obligationem senatus improbat et a praetore restituitur prior debitor creditori.
Julian, however, rightly thinks that the exception should be given to the surety, even if he does not have an action on mandate against the woman, because the senate disapproves of the entire obligation, and the prior debtor is restored by the praetor to the creditor.
