The Viceroyalty of Fenia Vs Gordon (Last Modified: Nov 07, 2010 4:57 am)
Filed Under: Public Disorder (Status/Ruling: In Progress)
Indictment by Public Prosecutor: (Entered by Evelyss)
Today I bring before you charges against Gordon for hoarding wood, from the market of Widu, on the date of November 5th. Hoarding is an offense against the decree of His Majesty, that states:
"The hoarding of items from the markets of the Kingdom of Fenia by any creature will not be tolerated."
(The offender is welcome to arrange an agreement with this court to sell 20 wood he bought back to the town of Widu, for the price he bought them.)
Defense Plea: Innocent
your honor I plead not guilty,
the prosecutor claims I bought 20 wood from the market on the 5th of november when in my events I had bought 11 wood on that day and for of those were my own into my hometowns grant for which my hometown commisioned me to come to Widu and purchace wood as much as I could get, if what I am hearing is instead widu does not wish commerce with other towns I can simply depart with the wood I currently hold in grant for my town.

Tigerlily enters the courtroom; when she hears her name.
Your honour.
On the 5th of November, I had 13 wood bushells on the market for the citizens of Widu to purchase. But on that day, Gordon purchased them via a town hall grant. We are happy to sell our wood to other towns but his purchases cleaned us out.

Witness: Morghain
Morghain walkes into the Courtroom after receiving her summons to give witness. After listening to Tigerlily give her testimony, she steps forward to give hers.
Addressing the court, she says "Your honor, due to a seeming lack of wood on our market, I'd forgone working in my workshop for a few days so that I could chop wood. As you know, wood is an important resource for many of our professions.
I'd been putting the wood on the market as soon as I had a good handful and had managed to build up a fair amount. On November 04, 1650, all the wood that I had accumulated on the market was bought by the same person.
I thought it a little odd but made not comment about it until a couple of days later, the same person cleared off a further 7 wood from me when there was so little on the market. I immediately contacted our Mayor with my concerns and was directed to keep a copy of my receipt of the transactions.
These are copies of the sale receipts from both days.
