Some of the customs Of the To Rims
the Roekhill diaries point out, are
barbarie in the extreme. In many
localities the remains of the dead
are exposed on the hillsid6s in places
selected by the priests. If the body
is quickly eaten by beasts or birds
of prey, it proves the righteousness
of the deceased.
Crime is prevalent, and even the
gravest offense is, pardoned upon
payment of fixed sum.
Compressed bricks of tea, one of
the articles of daily consumption,
are used as a mediain- eff exchange.
The highest price in tea is placed
upon the life of a priest--sometimes
as much as 200 bricks. The lowest
value is placed on the life of a
foreigner, which sometimes is set
at two or three bricks.
