Possibly you're referring to cases vonSenden (sp?) wrote about. I
recall one of my profs, probably Hans-Lukas Teuber, referring to it.
If it was Teuber, he spoke of it c. 1961, and it was old then; rather
than unpublished, it was out of print or otherwise hard to locate, and
in German... Think EARLY 20th century, not late! If I find better
reference, I'll post it.
