were boiled to death in large katles. The other modes of

rify criminals are crucifixion, cutting open the chest,
breaking the limbs with an iron bar ; exposing of the cri-
minal to the attacks of insects in hot weather, after strip-
ping him naked and smearing his body with honey, &C.
These cruel punishments, however, do not diminish the
number of crimes ; on the contrary, they seem to have prc.
diced the most reckless contempt of death. The follow-
ing remarkable incident occurred not long since :—A
Japanese policeman was walking along the middle of the
Street, when a European on horseback told him to stand
aside, and, as the order was not obeyed, struck him with a
whip. fhe Japanese rushed on the aggressor, unhorsed
him, and drew his'sword to kill him, when a neighbouring
shopkeeper exclaimed that it was the English consul. Tho
Japanese hesitated on hearing this, and the foreigner mean-
while got away. With his drawn sword in his hand, the police-
man immediately went to the nearest tribunal and stated
the case to the presiding judge. ' You drew your sword
to avenge the affront,' said the magistrate; 'that was
right ; but you did not kill your enemy, and you knowthat
an insult, if not avenged by.the blood of the offender, must
be avenged by the blood of the offended.' The judge bad
Ihardly finished speaking when the policeman rippe:lllPliks
