The brocard, spoliatus ante omnia restituendus est, does not hinder the defender to insist in a reduction of the decreet of spuilzie, although he has not obtempered the same. That brocard only takes place quando agitur de preprietate rei spoliatæ, vel de alia re, agendo principaliter, at non quando agitur per viam reductionis ad retraetandam sententriam super spolio contra aliquem latam.
