Beschrijving
Lawyers in Hell. This tale exists chiefly in two different forms:
(1) A man tells a magistrate (mayor, lawyer, policemen) that he dreamed about (went to) hell. There, in the fire, he was about to sit on an empty chair, but one of the devils stopped him, saying that it was reserved for the magistrate [X312].
(2) A man (St. Peter, several saints) in heaven wants to have a trial to establish his rights, but there are no lawyers there to conduct it.
