Thus the right of appeal to a higher court, a right quite recent in Grea 'Britain and a great protection for ac- cused persons as a guarantee of a very careful trial, is widely ceusidered it :Africa merely as being tried over again Inc no particular reason for the sante offence [Native chiefs it Tanganyika discussed, with the Commission whether a distinction urdt as /English law does not recog- nize between degrees of murder ought not in justice to he accepted The great questions were those it murder in the face of gross insult in front of third parties where the chief. considered that immediate murder ;lone in blind rage ought not to in - c.,; re hanging unless a lethal w•eapot tt ere used; murder as the result c• ceaseless pinprick: of annoyance, w here the chiefs advocate no special leniency; and murder where the mat believes he is being bewitched, T1te. chiefs coneider that today a bewitch ell turn has adequgate remedy in the native courts, which will confiscate and burn the witch's articles.

Prison is generally ci,ndetnn- ed in 'East :Africa as a waste of pub- lic money. 1t is not felt to be a dis- grace, it is extremelycont'fortable hr native standards and is not feared. Bad 'habits are learnt there, particul- arly- be the young. The Commission is accordingly in favor of trying cut especially for young offenders, a sys- tem ,ti what may be called clay - school as contrasted with boarding - school imprisonment. The convicted person crould work by day, without pan at whatever task of public work wag assigned to him, but would aro home to sleep. 'In elTect such a pun- ishment wroth' be a line in kind.

That, of coarse, is the effect in Great 13ritant of heavy legal costs; but the East Africat populations are people with no re- sources of their own. 'In Kenya and Ugancla ordinary justice is administ- ered Iby administrative officers who inolttde the duties of a magistrate among their ntanifolct tasks.

If a particular crime is prevalent in their district and it is proving difficult to bring the crim Mails to book, there is a natural temp- tation, when someone is caught, to make an example of him, and a nat- ural disinclination to give .him that sante bendfit of the doubt, owing to uncertainties of evidence, which he would have enjoyed had his crime been something not at at -1 .prevalent at the moment In Tanganyika mag- istrates cannot give sentences of more than two years' imprisonment, and it is ,now recoinMen ded that mig- istrates in Kenya and Uganda -shalt be sitnitanty limited.
