Alma 10:13

Nevertheless, there were some among them who thought to question them,

that by their cunning devices they might catch them in their words,

that they might find witness against them,

that they might deliver them to their judges

that they might be judged according to the law,

and that they might be slain or cast into prison,

according to the crime which they could make appear or witness against them.

Alma 11:2

Now if a man owed another,

and he would not pay that which he did owe,

he was complained of to the judge;

and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers

that the man should be brought before him;

and he judged the man according to the law

and the evidences which were brought against him,

and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owed,

or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

Alma 11:3

And the judge received for his wages according to his time —

a senine of gold for a day,

or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold;

and this is according to the law which was given.
