48. Three steps of that sort of steps !. Here is for the judge, here is for the witness, Here is for the suit, here is for the suitors.
1 The complete meaning of the sentence would seem to be : *The judge and the witness stand in a circle of three steps' (Farhang).
* The Farhang has: 'All the speeches of the suit ought to be held within three steps; and both pleaders—both defendant and plaintiff-should stand within a circle of three steps ;' so that everybody may hear distinctly the whole of the debate.
