We are well aware that We have already enacted a law with reference to money loaned on property transported by sea, which law has been communicated to Your Highness.

  But several applications having subsequently been made to Us, We have learned that this law is not advantageous, and that it is the desire of Your tribunal that it should be rescinded; and We have also been informed that it has been recorded in all the provinces. We now wish to repeal it entirely, and We decree that if it has already been despatched to the different provinces, it shall not be executed there, but shall be considered void. We also decree that, hereafter, cases shall proceed just as if the said law had never been written, and that everything shall be conducted in accordance with the legislation previously enacted by Us on the subject.

  Therefore Your Highness will hasten to carry into effect the provisions contained in this Imperial Law.
