THE District Judge at Kalutica. Cev.
lon, had before him recently three
persons, including q village headman.
charged with causing ssgrievous hurt''
TO four others by requiring them to
plunge their right hands into a cauldron
OF boiling oil. A woman in the VILLAGE
nad some plumbago and rice stolen
from her; o headman made inouirv
and failing to obtain clue to the theft
announced that it would be necessary
on the third day to hold an ordeal byy
boring oil. This appears to be q not
uncommon custom in remote parts of
the country. Any exclamation of pain
on the part OF the suspected person is
construed into an admission of puilt.
The Judge took the fact that it was n
custom into account, but fined the pris-
oners 100 rupees each.
WHILE Isaac German, an old farmer.
residing near Greble, Nd, was chopp-
ing at an old stump, he noticed some
bright substances among the rotten
wood. Upon further examination he
found it to be gold piece. After care

one bears the date of 1861, but all the
others are older. Where the money
came from is mystery, but it is very
likely that it was deposited three wears
ago, probably during the war. by some
soldier who was killed and who could
never return to claim it.
