1 This fact is confirmed by the writings of diarists. Marcin Matuszewicz is one such example. He mentions an arbitral tribunal concerning his mother who was accused of being an accessory to the death of Łastowski, a nobleman (M. Matuszewicz, Diariusz życia mego [A diary of my life], vol. I, compiled by B. Królikowski, Z. Zielińska, Warsaw 1986, pp. 189-192). Another instance of such writing can be found in Adam Moszczeński's diary. He described the course of a compromise in a dispute between Kajetan Olizar, a royal pantler, and his sister's husband, named Borkowski, concerning the payment of a dowry (A. Moszczeński, Pamiętnik do historii polskiej [A diary accompanying the history of Poland], Warsaw 1905, pp. 37-41). 2 In the period prior to the partitioning of Poland, the topic of arbitral tribunals was written about, among others, by: S. Domino, Sądownictwo polubowne na Rusi w późniejszym średniowieczu [The arbitral tribunals in Ruthenia in the late Middle Ages], Warsaw 1938; A. Rosner, Tradycja staropolskiego sądownictwa polubownego-Próba zarysowania problemu [The tradition of old Polish arbitral tribunals-an attempt to outline the issue] [in:] M.
