Hello everyone,

I have a question for you. What is the problem of with this the following sentence? Can someone help me please?

"The clerk hands the This original minute (or protocol) the clerk hands to the judges of the court, named, who sets set a day date for the hearing, and endorses add a note of this on the minute."

I've done my best to make the sentence grammatical, at least. However, I don't really know what it's about. What do you mean by "minute (or protocol)"? You need to give us more context if we're going to help you further. Who wrote the original sentence? (If you didn't write it yourself, you need to give us the source and the author.)

This is the original source of the sentence.

This is the original source of the sentence.

That's a screenshot of the piece. You still need to give us the name of the person who wrote it and the title of the book you found it in. I would also be particularly interested to know what year this was written.

Sure, this is an academic paper. It is from the Michigan Law Review. The title is "The German Law-Suit without Lawyers." The writer is Simeon E. Baldwin. And the date of publication is 1909.

It seems to me to be a description of a standard judicial procedure. It would be better if you could say specifically what you don't understand.

 

[emsr2d2]

And the date of publication is 1909.

That explains the unusual wording.

The words immediately preceding those quoted in post 3 are:

The first step in a summary suit to be disposed of without law-yers is for the plaintiff to go to the clerk of the court of the first instance having jurisdiction over the matter and tell him his story. The clerk makes a brief minute or protocol of this.

Let us suppose that the controversy has arisen over goods in the possession of one man which are claimed by another. The protocol might read thus.

"Uelzen, March 23, I900. Clerk's office of the Royal Court of First Instance.

There appeared Major von Kladny of this place and made the following complaint against the master-mason Franz Beck also of this place.

I therefore see no problem with the words quoted in post 1 except the unusual o-S-V word order amended by emsr2d2.

If the correct form is minute (or protocol), I think it should be used every time.
