Appendix. 215 sibility to judge him free who is worthy of death, having already taken an oath that you would judge according as you knew would be most right ? Now you had better look upon this case, or heavy things may fall upon you in consequence, and you may hardly be able to escape the respon- sibility incurred.” Ufeigr let the purse at whiles drop down from under the skirt of his cloak, at whiles he would pull it up again. He perceived that they turned their eyes towards the purse, and he then said to them: “ It would be a wise thing to judge according to right and truth, even as you have sworn, and take in return the gratitude and goodwill of reason- able and right-minded men." Thereupon he took forth the purse and poured out the silver, and counted it before them. “Now I will make manifest to you a mark of friendship,” said he, “ in doing which, I look more to your credit in this matter than to my own interest; the which I do because some of you are my friends, and some my kinsmen, and yet all in such a way now, that necessity demands that each one should look to himself. Now, I will give each man of you who is sitting in judgment an ounce of silver, and half a mark to him who sums up the case. In this manner you may both have the money, and be relieved from responsibility incurred, yet without trespassing upon your oath, which, after all, is the most important part.” Now they considered the case, and find that there is much truth in his discourse, though they perceived that already they had brought themselves into a bad strait as to their free dealing with the oath, and so agreed to accept the condition which was offered them by Ufeigr. Then they had Oddr sent for, and he arrived there just as the chieftains had gone home to their booths. Now the suit is brought up forthwith, and Uspakr is sentenced guilty, and witnesses are called to the sentence being passed. At things thus done, people went away home to their booths. During the night fol- lowing, no rumours got abroad of what had been done. But at the Mount- of-Laws, in the morning, Oddr stood up and spoke out in a loud voice: “ Last night a man, hight Uspakr, was declared guilty in the Court of the North- landers for the manslaughter of Yali. Let it therefore be said, that the convict is to be known by these marks: he is a man great of growth, of brown hair, large-boned face, dark eyebrows, huge hands, big legs, and an altogether hulking stature, and is one of the most scoundrel-looking of men that eye could be set upon.” At this announcement people were very much startled, as many of them had as yet had no news of the affair, and all men thought that Oddr had sternly followed up his suit and brought it to a successful close, considering to what pass the case had come already before. Now it is to be told, that Styrmir and Thorarinn had a talk together. Styrmir spake: “ What shame and disgrace we have had in this case!” Thorarinn said that was like enough, “ for surely wise men must have had their hand in this matter.” “ Yea,” said Styrmir, “ but dost thou see any way to setting things right ? ” Said Thorarinn: “ I do not see how that
