For Enhanced members
The Sluice Court, and the Towns Built Twice
The Sluice Court is the government of the Nieuwlanden in every matter that touches water, which is every matter of consequence. It has no hall. It sits on a barge, which is moved to the lock, bank or ditch the case concerns, and hears the matter with the thing itself under its feet. That is not ceremony. It is the reason the court is quick and the reason its findings are obeyed.
The rest of this chapter is kept for Enhanced members of the Hall, who may read every chapter of the seven volumes.
