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 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.

Now if a man owed another,

and he would not pay that which he did owe,

he was complained of to the judge;

that the man should be brought before him;

and the evidences which were brought against him,

a senine of gold for a day,
