JUSTICE IN HAITI.
Why a Trader Was Consigned to Jail
by a Magistrate.

In most lands that maintain a court
of justice the institution commands
the respect Of the public. 1t has in
Its hands the means of securing an
outward show of respect under any
circumstances. In Haiti this power
appears to be made a source Of rev.
enue, according to story told by Fl.
Prichard in "Where Black Rules
White"
A Haitian owed a trader S2S. A
Judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
$4 week into court was given. and
the trader agreed to send messenger
to the magistrate every week for the
money.
In due time he sent for the first in
stallment and was informed that the
Haitian had not paid up, but that he
should be put in prison for his failure
Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian went
to the traders store. What good, he
asked. would come to the trader II he,
poor man, were thrown into prison? /?
Let the trader forgive him his debt
and earn thereby untold rewards in a
future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter Of remission, which he went
off to present to the magistrate. The
affair was settled. but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him.
He forthwith returned to the trader
and asked him If he had received the
So already paid into court. The trader
looked surprised and said that he had
received nothing.
Then. since you have remltted the
debt, that So Is mine." said the Hal
tian.
Accordingly he went to the court to
present his claim. The magistrate at
once committed him to prison A con-
sui who had heard the story asked the
magistrate what the man was sent to
prison for.
"For contempt Of court" was the
reply.
