Beschrijving
The Judge Appropriates the Object of Dispute. (Including the previous Type 518*.) This miscellaneous type comprises various tales dealing with a dispute between two parties that is decided in favour to a third person who is to judge their case. The judge either takes the contested object as evidence or destroys it [J1171, K451, K451.1, K452]. Cf. Type 926C.
For example, two cats fight over a rice cake, and the monkey who is to decide the case eats it. A lawyer who is to decide the case of two men charges them such high fees that he is able to buy the disputed object (calf) with his earnings. The song of a bird was not meant for the plaintif but for the judge. Cf. Types 51***, 400, and 518.
