Diary of Father Time
Recall. OF the Judiciary is very

Recall. OF the Judiciary is a very
ancient proposition.
Hammurabi, first king of old Baby
lonia. some time in $500 B. c., got up
code that was law for about 20 CEN
turtles, or until the fall OF the empire.
Hammurabi's 9Th statute read:
IF Judge try a case, reach a de-
cision and present. his judgment in
writing and II. later, error shall ap-
pear in his decision, and ii be through
his own fault, then he shall pay IL
times the fine set by him In the case,
and he shall be publicly removed from
the judges bench, and never again
shall he set there to render judgment"
Not many fellows like your Hum
phries sat on the bench in those days,
and you can bet your life that heavy
fines on the common folk weren't the
practice with the. judiciary.
