R JA:IIES BROOKE AND THE

BISHOPRIC OF BORNEO.

on Tuesday at the National
Avielwargoef aniudminbge

the district attended, and
Sir James Brooke, in the course of an impressive
speech, gave the following character of the people of
Borneo :—He had no hesitition in saying that the
natives were the most generous people in the world.
The better class of them were of the moat truthful
and generous character. They would bear no in-
sults from any one. They carried their daggers by
their sides, and they were as ready to use them as an
Baglishm-in was his fists. When any man amongst
them was accused of murder or any other crime he
was not confined, nor was any insult offered to his
feelings. Last summer a young man, about 28 years
of age, who had been constantly about his (Sir J.
Brooke's) house, and at his table, who was, in fact,
very well known to him, was accused of murder. He
(Sir J. Brooke) t.
sent c.•,r him, took him into his pri-
vate
e r o?rn ' in company with a native chief, and told
i quietly the charge that was made against him.
He was told that he knew the customs of the coun-
try, that he must take hi. trial,and, if • •

would be put to death. He said, certainly, if he was
found guilty, be would suffer death, but that he
~vould not do him (Sir J. Brooke) any harm. It was
remarked to him that he might inflict injury if he
pleased, for he had a dagger by his side, whereas the
other two were unarmed. The young man took the
dagger from his side, and, passing it over the table,
said, " Oh, you take it." He (Sir J. Brooke) re-
turned the dagger, saying " No; put it back ; you
are a man of respectability, and I know you will
submit to the law. Come to the court the day after
to-morrow at twelve o'clock and be tried for your
life." The young man appeared at the court at the
appointed time, and after an impartial trial was ac-
quited. The judge and jury rose and shook hands
with the prisoner, and they had all been very good
friends since.—(Cheers.) There was a degree of
simplicity in the administration of justice there which
in this country it would be difficult to understand.
Notwithstanding that, substantial justice was always
administered. Sir James Brooke proceeded to dwell
upon the great benefits the country would derive
from the establishment of a bishopric there, and ex-
pressed a hope that the scheme would meet with
general acceptance throughout England.
Tne Venerable Archdeacon Robinson, the Rev. E.
Hawkins, and several other gentlemen, addressed the
meeting in support of resolutions which affirmed the
desirableness of founding the proposed bishopric of
Borneo, and a liberal subscription was entered into
in furtherance of that object.
