19. The case is the same when an umpire declares that so much beer has been spilt in the drinking as would cover the bottom of the glass.
20. In every quantity which is drunk in successive portions, the §§ 18 and 19 shall apply to the party whom the umpire shall have declared to have drunken informally.
21. As well in the fore as the after drinking, the antagonist can select an umpire, who, if he judges that the fore or after quantity is deficient, must see that it is made complete, and that it is properly drunken.
22. No one is bound to accept a challenge of more than one choppin at a time out of a vessel which will hold more; unless the two drinkers agree differently between themselves.
TITULUS III.
OF ANSCHISS-SAUFEN; OR DEFINING OF WHAT ARE PENAL CASES IN DRINKING.
§ 23. Foxes, whether Crass or Brand Foxes, may neither touche an honourable Beer-bursch in beer, that is, challenge him to a beer contest; nor, if he be challenged by an honourable Beer-bursch, may he nachstürz, or double the quantity. If one of them does this, then must he be verdonnert,[[50]] or condemned in thunder, to pay for a viertel, that is, sixteen choppins. The Foxes have also here equal rights amongst themselves.
24. The degrees of the beer challenges are the following:--A Learned Man stands for a half-choppin; a choppin is a Doctor; two choppins, a Professor; three choppins, an Amtmann; four choppins, a Pope.
25. If any one has given his cerevis, that is, made an assertion on his beer-word against another, and it cannot be proved who has given his cerevis wrong, so must the two drink out a Learned Man--such cases, however, excepted as are before the Beer-court.
26. No one is bound to accept ex abrupto more than a Learned Man; yet must the Foxes accept, ex abrupto every challenged Doctor, from an honourable Beer-bursch.
