Tie C.RcA~sIANs.-They have nothing like a
written law among them, but governed by a
sort OF common right, or what has become an es.
i"bltsh'd custom from ancient usage. The great
bulk oil the people assemble important occasions
IN a SORT Of general counsel. where tie Prince
always opens III" business. and pr poses the meas
urts he thinks should be taken for the considcra
non OF The assembly. The whole body Of noLdas
then deliberate on what he has brought forward,
and the result is referred a certain humber of
grave personages chosen from the people, who,
by their patriarchal consequences and their eminent
WISDOM have acquired the title of Elders, selected
on the occasion by the various tribes. These
venerable men then discuss the subject in debate
and each gives his opinion. If the three consul
tatons are found to agree Tor the measu re- proposed
i IS proposed /; and if it is a question Of social
right, decision becomes precedent, and is binding
as national decree. The assemblsges, whic6
so nnch resemble the Saxon Wittepsgenoie, are
held IN the open area near the dwelling Of the
Prince. " .sssf r.Ess -zsr a.....S &C..
