The mode of treating debtors in
this Island, is particularly singular
and severe. The first step taken is.
to strip the debtor of his clothes.
and guard is set TO watch him
If after little time he does not paw,
4 large stone is Put upon his back
and he must carry it about until tie
creditor is satisGed.-Sometimes
they put several very heavy stones
upon his back, and he is obliged to
carry them about, until the debt is
extinct. severity often
practIsed by The creditor, is putting
thorns between the naked legs of
his debtor, and oblIging him to
walk about with them. Frequent.
ly the creditor will go,to the person
indebted TO HIM, and say he will
poison himself, unless he pays him
directly. Instances have occurred,
of such threats being put into ex.
ecution, and the debtor, WHO'S co.4
sidercd as the cause Of his credt-
tor S death, also forfeits his life.
