or unfortunately died, and the other
two quarreled about the possession of
the son, who meanwhile lived with his
mot-her. As soonas he was old enough
to take law into his own hands the boy
elected to live with the first husband,
and left- his mother to do so; thereupon
the third husband raided the first, car—

boy was to live, and what was to become
of the cattle.
So much evidence was produced that
I became utterly confused, especially
when the motl1e1 crawled in 011 hands
and knees to gi1e evidence as to parent-
age, in which. by the way. she was flat-

finally decided that the boy was to live
with the first husband, and that half

flip. 1 was delighted, but I could never
intake out why, as five cows, even with-
out a calf, are usually valued far above
.any mere human body in Africa. .

cle 12 of the Constitution :

ing Committee.

ent section, which reads as follows:
