Cuban Notarle- Get rnormou. Fees.


One drawback to investment in Cuba
is the uncertainty of titles and the alb
solute authority exercised by the ma
tive notaries. According to the old
Spanish laws, which to a great extent
are yet in vogue. the notaries keep all
records of land titles, and from their
decisions there is no appeal The Of

But before the Emancipation
Act, which took place about 1884,
occurred what is generally known
as the Massacre of Slagter's Mex
Butchers Neck). There is pro-
badly not an Africander living to
whom 'Slagter's Mex is not as
familiar as the Lords prayer. OF
all events in the history of South
Africa it stands out most promin-
emily as the most heartrending
tragedy ever played in this unhap-
py sub-continent. In the year
1915 certain Dutchman by name
Bezuidenhout. was summoned to
appear before the magistrate of
CRAFT Reinett TO answer to the
charge of assault on Hottentot
But at this time it was generally
known that to go to court when
black was the complainant, was to
90 but to hear your sentence;
natives word was taken before
the word of one of the settlers.
Knowing this, Bezuidenhout re-
fused to attend the court, and as a
consequence of his refusal, de-
tachment of soldiers was sent to
bring him in. On Bezuidenhout
offering resistance he was shot by
the soldiers. At his grave-side
next day his brothers and some of
their friends vowed vengeance on
King Georges mercenary troops.
At once strong party was dis
patched against them, but they all
surrendered with the exception of
Jan Bezuidenhout, a brother Of the
one who had been shot, who with
his wife and l2-year old son, at
tempted to escape into the bush.
They were, however, seen by the
soldiers, ssId fheir escape cut off.
Both husband and wife seeing es-
cape was impossible, decided to sell
their lives as dearly as possib a, Sc
standing by their wagon, the he
roic wife and her young son load
ed gul S with which her husband
fired. However, after having NOR
tally wounded one of the soldiers.
Bezuidenhout was killed and his
wife and son made prisoners. Had
the British government wished to
conciiate the farmers, they then
had golden opportunity. But
how did they make use of it? Did
they show mercy to these misguid-
ed men who had surrendered them
selves; and so from foes turn them
into friendsY No; there was not
much mercy shown, In January,
1916, the following diabolical SEN
tences were passed on the rioters:
Six were sentenced to death; three
were banished; one was sentenced
to stand on the gallows with rope
around his neck while the execu-
ton took place, and sixteen others
had to stand next to the gallows to
watch the tragedy played out-as
lesson to them in the future.
"on March 9, 1916, on Slagter's
Mex, so aptly named, a rough gal
lows was erected. All around the
gallows stood the friends and rela-
tives of the condemned ones, and
within a small ring stood he,six-
teen unfortunates who had to wit

Frans Marais with the rope around
