[IDEM libro tertio responsorum. ] §17.1.56.prQui mutuam pecuniam dari mandauit, omisso reo promittendi et pignoribus non distractis eligi potest: quod uti liceat si litteris exprimatur, distractis quoque pignoribus ad eum creditor redire poterit: etenim quae dubitationis tollendae causa contractibus inseruntur, ius commune non laedunt. §17.1.56.1Fideiussor qui pecuniam in iure optulit et propter aetatem eius qui petebat obsignauit ac publice deposuit, confestim agere mandati potest. §17.1.56.2Non ideo minus omnis temporis bonam fidem explorari oportet, quod dominus post annos quinque de prouincia reuersus, mox rei publicae causa profecturus non acceptis rationibus mandatum instaurauerit.
[THE SAME, from the third book of Responses.]\n He who has mandated that a loan of money be given can be chosen, passing over the promising debtor and without the pledges being sold; if it is expressed in writing that this is permitted, the creditor will also be able to return to him after the pledges have been sold; for those things which are inserted into contracts for the purpose of removing doubt do not prejudice common law.\n A surety who has offered the money in court, and because of the age of the person who was claiming it, has sealed it up and deposited it publicly, can immediately bring an action of mandate.\n It is nonetheless necessary that good faith of the whole period be examined, despite the fact that the principal, having returned from the province after five years, and being about to depart soon for public service, renewed the mandate without receiving the accounts.
cum igitur ad officium procuratoris pertinuerit quidquid ex prima negotiorum gestorum administratione debuit ad secundam rationem transferre, secundi temporis causa priorem litem suscipiet. §17.1.56.3Salarium incertae pollicitationis neque extra ordinem recte petitur neque iudicio mandati, ut salarium tibi constituat. §17.1.56.4Sumptus bona fide necessario factos, etsi negotio finem adhibere procurator non potuit, iudicio mandati restitui necesse est.
Therefore, since it belonged to the duty of the procurator to transfer to the second account whatever he owed from the first administration of affairs, he will undergo the former litigation for the sake of the second period.\n An honorarium from an uncertain promise is neither rightly claimed extraordinarily, nor by the action of mandate to have an honorarium established for you.\n Expenses incurred in good faith and by necessity, even if the procurator was not able to bring the business to an end, must be restored under the action of mandate.
