Recently the District Judge at Kamtara,
in Ceylon, according to the London Times.
had before him three persons, including
village headman, charged with causing
grieyous hurt to four others by requiring
them to plunge their right hands into a
caldr0n of boiling oil The medical evil
dence described the hands as being in "a
sodden. suppurating condition, the fin
gers being IN some places detomed. In
all cases the injured persons We're unable to
follow their ordinary ayocatlons for about
a month. The facts Of the case us stated
in the judgement, We're these:
A woman i'm the village had some plum
bago and rice stolen from her; a headman
made inquiry, and failing to obtain a clue
to the theft. announced that it would be
on the third day to hold an or
deal 10y boiling oil This appears to be
a not uncommon custom I'm remote parts of
the country. land the formalities are as fol-
lows: Some oil from newly-gathered
king cocoanuts is manufactured by one of
the complainmts; TINS is poured into call
dron and heated to boiling point Each
of the suspected parties is supposed to dip
his hand into the vessel of boiling oil, aud
is at liberty to sprinkle as much of the hot
OIL as he brings up with ms fingers on the
complainant. who stands close at hand.
Amy exclamation ofpain ON the part Of the
suspected person is construedinto an adj
mission of guilt If no such exclamation
is made the innocence of the party is sup
posed to be established
In the present case the evidence estab-
lished that the pressure ON the accused was
not merely moral; they were forced to dip
their hands in the burning oil. No force
appears to have been used in bringing
them to the scene of the ordeal; they col
lected there in response to the orders Of the
headsmm who seated ON a platform OPP
posite the vessel OF oil appears to have
acted as the presiding Judge Each Of the
complainants deposed to the fact that they
were reluctant TO submit to the ordeal, but
were forcibly dragged up to the caldron 10y
the other two accused and their hand,
into the boiling oil. They had
sufficient self control to abstain from call
ing ont except a boy Of II. who cried out
Justify and was thereupou pronounced the
guilty one. The Judge took the fact that
it was "a custom into account. but refused
to dismiss the prisoners with a warning
as suggested by their council He fined
them loo rupee. each, with the alternative
of rigorous Imprisonment for ten months
