If any one hire oxen, and kill them by bad treatment or blows, he shall compensate the owner, oxen for oxen.
He may, however, assign a field, garden, or house which he has bought, and holds as property, to his wife or daughter or give it for debt.
If any one buy the field, garden, and house of a chieftain, man, or one subject to quit-rent, his contract tablet of sale shall be broken (declared invalid) and he loses his money. The field, garden, and house return to their owners.
