they have decreed they apprehend tn,
offenders, beat them severely with sticks
and crop them. They cut OFT the bair Of
the woman, which they carry to the square
I'm triumph. If they apprehend but one OF
the offenders, and the other escapes, they
then go and take satisfaction from the
characterization. If both the offenders es-
cape, and the tribe or family return home
and laydown the sticks, the crime is salts
he'd. There is one family only the Ho-
ltululgeo, who can take up the sticks Sc
cond time. This crime Is satisfied another
way. Ii the parties offending absent them
selves till the Buosketau is over, then all
crimes are dDne away except murder and
the bare mention OF them, or any occur
renee which brings them into recollection,
is forbidden.
Marder--If murderis committed, the
family and tribe alone have the right of
taking satisfaction. They collect. consult
aud decree. The rulers of the town, or
the nation, have nothing to do or say in
the business.
ihe relations of the murdered person
consult first among themselves, and If the
case Is clear, and their family or tribe be.
not likely to suffer by their decision, they
determine on the case definitely. When
the tribe may be affected by it, in doubt
tul case or an old claim for satisfaction, the
family then consult with their tribe sand
when they have deliberated and resolved
on their satisfaction, they take the nearest
OF kin, or one of the family. In some ca
SEES the family who have done the injury,
promise reparation ia that case, they are
allowed reasonable time to fulfil their pro-
mise, and are generally earnest of them
selves IN theirendeavors to put the guilty
to death to save an innocent person.
The right of Judging and taking satisEac-
ton, being vested in the family or tribe, is
the sole cause why their treaty stipulations
or this head have never been executed
In like manner, a prisoner taken in war is
the property of the captor and his family
lit being optional with the captor to xiii
or save at the time. This right must be
purchased, and it is now the practice intro
duced withna few years, for the nation
to pay. The practice has been introduced
by the agent for Indian aff;iirs. and he
pays on the orders of the Chiefs, out of the
stipend allowed by the United States to
the Greeks. Claims of this sort Of ~.
years standing, where the prisoners have
been delivered to the order of the chiefs,
have been received, allowed and paid.
