The Officium mercantie pronounces a sentence regarding an enslaved Tatar woman sold by Niccolò Castagna to the notary Giovanni de Cucurno. Niccolò appealed to the Officium and claimed that Giovanni had not paid for the transaction. Giovanni argued that the enslaved woman was actually purchased from Giorgio Castagna, not Niccolò, with conditions. When she arrived at the home of Giovanni she began to protest vehemently, crying and threatening to hang herself. Because of this Giovanni felt that she should be returned to Giorgio and that he not have to pay. After hearing the testimony of various parties, the Officium pronounced in favor of the defendant Giovanni.
This is a sentence delivered by the eight officials of the Officium mercantie on the sale by Agostino de Gropallo of an enslaved Tatar woman named Maddalena, who was described as being pregnant, to the merchant named Lanfranco Cicogna. The sale was made under the condition that if Maddalena was unable to sufficiently serve as a wet nurse for Lanfranco within 15 days of the exchange, then he would be able to return her to Agostino and receive his payment back. Lanfanco claimed that Maddalena was not able to adequately serve as a wet nurse, while Agostino claimed that she was and that Lanfranco was unlawfully backing out of the contract. The Officium mercantie, after hearing the evidence, declared the sale to be void. The appellant Agostino was represented by his father Manfredo during the hearing. At the time of sale the defendant Lanfranco was represented by the merchant named Niccolò de Novaria.
