It was good to have a second opinion and that he agreed with me, though it was not really necessary as he came to the same conclusion that I did.
============================================================
to: Lady Kati
From: James boswell.
this letter is in response to your letter regarding the slave called "Oath" and her claims about being a free woman.
The manumission papers presented from Tyros, don't have the minumum standards we demand in Port Victoria for documents, and being Tyros gone to the lands of dust, there is no way to check these papers are legal or even real.
So it is my decision to reject their legality. The slave Oath is to remain a slave, and be punished if she keeps making these claims.

To James Boswell, HoC Scribes
To Lady Luciana of the Caste of Physicians
I would like to talk with you about the following at your earliest possible time.
The girl Oath, states that she believe she is a free woman. I see a few problems with her proof.
1. names differs
2. the certificate has no file record at the bottom
3. this is not Tyros
Looking forward to discussing this with you.
Kati Evans, Magistrate of Port Victoria

Manumission
[17:22:05] Trent Victus (prefectus): "All. This girl at my side was given to me by the man known as Fire. She has worn collars as though they were made of paper. In and out of them like a child playing with the door. I ask you that if she submits to you that you reject her. I ask that if she begs you perhaps take pity on her and give her a coin if you can spare it. She has balked at being a free woman she has failed as a slave. She can perhaps try her luck at gathering what she can on our docks out of pity as a urt. The kennels will not have her. Her master will not have her and I do not wish her in my steel for she is a poor representation as a slave and would be a bad representation of my house she's begged my collar once and lucked in to it by failing out of another persons." I Trent Victus the Merchant Magistrate of Tyros do give you manumission Kajira." He pulled the cloth from his shoulders and dropped it to her feet. "This is what charity I give you as a free woman. May the Priest-Kings have mercy on whomever you fool in to thinking you
[17:22:05] Trent Victus (prefectus): have a gain of sand of submission in you."
[17:25:05] Damian (damian.audran): Gave a slow clap at Trents speech. "Welcome to Tyros she urt" He flipped a copper up into the ring, making sure that it landed near her feet. "I have lock picks if she still wears anothers collar? and they are needed"
[17:26:07] Vougan (vougankar) stood in silence as Trent’s words fell like hammer blows, each syllable stripping away more than just a title or a collar, it stripped her of illusion, of safety, of belonging. My eyes flicked to the girl at his side, her shoulders no longer squared, her gaze unsure. Whatever pride she may have clung to now floated in the air like the cloth he let fall at her feet. I took a breath, then stepped forward slightly, not to object, not to comfort, but to witness. "Then let it be done," I said, voice steady, though not without weight. "Let her walk the docks as she will, but may she remember what was given and what was squandered." There was no cruelty in my tone, only finality. Mercy, perhaps, lay in the honesty.
[17:26:50] Dustpan (luvly.dinzeo) listened to Trent and lowered her gaze watching the paper fall to the floor. He had kept up his end of the bargain and letti was now free..... AGAIN... " Master thank you for letting this be fair. " she glanced to letti " Thank you for a good fight. Good luck in your new life, bound to begging for crumbs and copper, I wish you well."
[17:29:07] Savier Halgaard (souledfool) was shocked and had not expected that. Gave Dustpan a thumbs up as she departed the ring. and wraps Cherishs leash around my hand, she would never be free.
[17:29:28] Juno Rembrandt (georgette.jonson): ''Oh I see nothing good coming from this...if you get injured she urt you bette have coin as I see alot of pain coming your way''
[17:29:48] Letti (nomodan) was so very tired, wounded and bruised. She uses a rope to pull her body up but as her Master enters the sand, she gently went to her knees in the position of the Tower slave. She heard what her Master said, and she closed her eyes, head looking down, as each accusation on her hurts more than the previous one. It was as if all her wrongs and flaws were being listed by him.
It took her some time to process the information. Was she now a free woman? Did she heard well? She pushes her body up and lifts her manumission declaration. "Just to confirm, am I now a free woman, Master?"
[17:30:40] Solaris (mitthrawnuruodo) arrived to the arena maybe... maybe a bit tipsy after mistaking the juice with the ka-la-na. Stopped behind everyone squinting his eyes to make the damn world stop spinning. "Tal Masters" greeted them because he saw eight of them "Mistresses..." greeted the two free women standing next to each other. The slaves, the horde of slaves around him received a smile.
[17:31:27] Dustpan (luvly.dinzeo) had moved out of the ring and slipped in by the slaver grinning but that didn't last long " oh shoot my broom." she ran back to the stairs to pull it out of hiding and then moved back whispering to him " I like them medium rare Master" snickering
[17:34:36] Genesis Audran (rinny.blep) looked over at Damian as he mentioned her name "Oh, well you are in for a treat Dust, I cook the best steaks for sure, medium rare it is!"
[17:34:46] Trent Victus (prefectus) whispers: "You are. These people witness to such. Scroll work will follow. If you try to submit in the next two hands I will lob your knees off so you may not fall to them to beg. Now charity was thrown at you in the sands here pick it up if you care for it and they city will escort you down to the docks. You shame not only yourself but the people of Tyros with your behavior. A slave while being owned is a prize a jewel in the crown of this city Damian has a chain that is the prize of gor. Fire had a true desire to own you. I do not I have only enough patience in me to teach you without running a blade across your throat. Learn something from this. Or run to the woods and take up the bow but even then you run only from your own bad choices that have led you to this moment.
[17:34:54] Trent Victus (prefectus): "You are. These people witness to such. Scroll work will follow. If you try to submit in the next two hands I will lob your knees off so you may not fall to them to beg. Now charity was thrown at you in the sands here pick it up if you care for it and they city will escort you down to the docks. You shame not only yourself but the people of Tyros with your behavior.

I do not I have only enough patience in me to teach you without running a blade across your throat. Learn something from this. Or run to the woods and take up the bow but even then you run only from your own bad choices that have led you to this moment."
[17:36:11] Cherish (zialeekai): /ne she watched the events about with wide eyes and smiled at Dustpan as she exited the ring with the talk of steaks, Lettie would be a she urt and maybe she would solice in it that she did not find in her other ventures, She the tightening of her leash and nibbled at her lip. Heard the name dirt and looked over seeing her ex Mistress as the girl named dirt and her mouth dropped, she would have to catch up with her later
[17:39:50] Vougan (vougankar) /me spotted and nodded to the kajirus entering the arena, his presence unmistakable amidst the crowd still buzzing from the brutal slave fight.
[17:40:27] Letti (nomodan) braids her hair in the ways of the single free women of the people of Torvald. She then removes the collar of her neck and picks up what she was given. She was a proud woman but she was smart enough to take the coin. "Thank you, Sir. I will live then as a free. I will change my clothes and dress according to my new station. I will remain at Tyros at least till I have the official papers."
[17:40:46] Solaris (mitthrawnuruodo) looked at Damian. Why in the name of the Kings there were TWO of him?. Rubbed his eyes and approached some, hugging Dustpan. Despite being a male slave he never had shown any kind of attraction to his fellow feminine slaves, beyond a pure form of friendship and care. "you beat ass!" or that's what he had understood from it all. Stepped on the side and smiled stupidly around, begging internally for the effect of the alcohol to dissipate before it was too evident, because of course, to himself, he was being incredibly stealthy with all his actions.
[17:40:48] Juno Rembrandt (georgette.jonson): ''Tal Solaris''
[17:43:08] Cherish (zialeekai) hears Lady Juno behind her and jturns with a soft chirp, "Tal Mistress," wiggles fingers toward Solaris
[17:43:57] Trent Victus (prefectus): He watched her leave taking his collar and pocketing the item again. "Let this woman's life be a lesson Freedom is a obligation to the Home Stone. Submission is a obligation to those you submit to. No one is care free in this world we all answer to something. Freedom or slavery comes with a price. Those who wish to reject society shall live upon the fringes of it."
[17:47:17] Damian (damian.audran): His arm extended over Dusts shoulders and he gave her a half ass squeeze. Sniffing around her as he could smell something. Wine? Leashes were attached to his as he got ready to leave the area and give Dirt a chance to start cooking that steak. "thank you all for coming to witness this. Trent, you made a good decision" he looked over towards Letti.. "What will you go by now she urt of Tyros?" of course, meaning what name would she use.
[17:48:04] Vougan (vougankar) took a deep breath as the fight came to an end, watching the battered bodies of Dustpan and Letti, their struggle etched on every bruise and cut. Turning slowly, I faced the crowd and spoke clearly. "I wish you all well." My eyes lingered on Letti, now no longer a slave but cast down to the lowest rung of free womanhood, a she-urt, destined to survive by the charity of others along the canals of Kasra, I stepped away, leaving the arena behind.

[20:31] Oath (nomodan) breaths! "Thank you, Mistress. I am slowly recovering my memory. I was given freedom, got manumission papers. There was some, mm, mistake and my warden put a punishment collar. He brought me here because I was severely wounded. He is well known by those who attended me at the infirmary. The time of my punishment is overdue. Who would be my Jarl has not returned. Can I remove the collar and resume to live as a free woman of Gor? I have important things to do and I cannot be limited by the restrictions that a collar imposes."

[20:40] Oath (nomodan) sighs deeply, her arms tense. "I recorded in writing the moment when I was publicly freed, Mistress. Not something to be proud, it was very humiliating. I was declared not fit to wear a collar, ever. Tyros fell down and you are the only one who I have talked about this, Mistress." She shares the other scroll, also bloodied.

[21:05] Kati Evans completes the copies and hand her back her papers.
[21:06] Kati Evans: I will get back to you when I get the second opinion
[21:06] Oath (nomodan) extends her arms and puts her documents inside a pouch, "Thank you, I really appreciate your time. In the meantime, can I live as a free woman?"
[21:07] Kati Evans: In the mean time you must stay in the city walls.
[21:08] Oath (nomodan) nods, "Yes, to not live the city and look for revenge or adventure, but as free?"

[21:10] Oath (nomodan) sighs deeply, "Please, Lady. I will to this right, hence why I consulted you. From your words, does that translate to remain slave till you confirm with me?"
[21:11] Kati Evans: Until we get this straightened out, yes stay as you are collared and I will work to get this sorted out.
[21:13] Oath (nomodan) sighs deeply. Alas, now she has a chance, a legal chance to do things right. She bows, "I will do so then, Mistress and resume to my activities as a slave. Last time, I was sent to attend the Tavern, so if excused, I will do so."
