  18. Some of the twelve tables (reworded) • If you are called to go to court, you must go. If you don’t show up, you can be taken to court by force. • If you need a witness to testify and he will not show up, you can go once every three days and shout in front of his house. • Should a tree on a neighbor's farm be bend crooked by the wind and lean over your farm, you may take legal action for removal of that tree. • If it's your tree, it’s your fruit, even if it falls on another man’s land. • A person who had been found guilty of giving false witness shall be hurled down from the Tarpeian Rock. • No person shall hold meetings by night in the city. • A dead man shall not be buried or burned within the city. • Marriages should not take place between plebeians and patricians(As time went on, this law was changed.
