Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922

NGN est aequum et bonum ob earn rem condemnari; delicta enim nocentium nota esse oportet et expedit. It Is not just and proper that he who speaks ill of a bad man should be condemned on that account; for it is fitting and expedient that the crimes of bad men should be known. Dig. 47. 10. 17; 1 Bl. Comm. 125.
