In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever a robbery is committed the ruler of
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on q slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
"elected" and ndisacGordingly hanged, This
system, like all others, has its peculiar
advantages. It insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit

had retired after his abdieation, and on

said and tears shed. After the solemn
