t oxsTANTINOPiC, May I.—Some of your
readers may not be apprised of the fact
tbit! Constantinople has several suburbs.
Kadi suburb is a city in Itself. The city
pvoper is generally known as Stamboul.
'-tamboul is still a walled city, and nearly
triangular in form. Its beautiful northern
tingle,called Seraglio Point, looks north
jmu the winding Bosphorus. The southern
Is the land side of the triangle. The other
isvo sides are bounded by water, the sea of
Marmora on one side and the Golden Horn
on the other. Opposite Stamboul is a
point railed Galata. it is the largest sub
urb, Ills the port for commerce. There
is a summit above it called Pera. Pera is
the headquarters of diploruauy aud the
residence ot the dragomans. It is in
habited bv Greeks, Italians, Kr.giisb,Ger
mans and others—all called Franks. It
numbers some 200,000, and has a muui
clpality of its own. Blacque Bey. the
first Ottoman Minister to the United
States, is its Mayor or Prefect, and his
rule is in happy contrast with the rule of
ether cities which are blessed with Aider
men. There Isa population in Pera which
inquires much vigilant policing. On the
northeast outskirts of Pera are artillery
barracks, "fields or Mars,” and ceme
teries. These furnish favorite resorts
for the people of the various suburbs on
or near tlie Pera promontory. Here are
restaurants, dancing cafes, singing and
storv telling: and at this blaster season
much tinngof pistols and a general saturn
alia ol the ('Kristian population. So
great has been the turmoil growing out of
this religious observance that the authori
ties stopped the usual grand procession of
the Greek religionists.
To what does all this account tend?
Simple to make some gossip about the po
lice administration of the present, com
pared with that of the past in this Orient
al citv. No longer in Pera or in Stam
boul does the .Judge sit. turhaned and
cross-legged to administer his own will as
the law to offenders. The police business
is modeled upon that of Paris, and ths
tribunals ami Judges have tho same
mode of procedure. Barring the red fez
cap which the police Justices wear and an
occasional cigarette and cup of coffee, it
is the same as the tribunals of the Occi
dent. The Tribunal Correctional de Pera
takes care or all tne police matters of this
suburb. Important cases, involving fel
onies of high degree, are sent up to the
higher tribunals in Stamboul. In such
ca‘es the tribunal at Pera is only an ex
amining and committing court.
Taking along our dragoman the other
flay, I made a call at the court bouse in
I’era. It. is in the centre of the througlng
population on the Grand Rue. Whenlen
lered the court had not convened, but the
< taief Judge, Hiltni Effendi, was upon the
bench reading papers. He is a Turk, and
had great judicial aud police experience
in tlie interior before became here. He is
noted for his shrewd knowledge of the
kind of characters who come before him—
a veritable Judge Dowling of tbeTombaol
twenty years ago. He speaks French,
but not English. We passed the time in
talking about modes and codes of crimi
nal practice in various countries. We
agreed that it was a cruel fate to be im
prisoned simply because one happened to
be an observer of a crime. In fact, we
agreed that it was one of the ridiculous
eccentricities of human order thus to pun
ish the innocent that society might have
icci rity.
Oue thing led to another, until our talk
took the direction of the whimsies ot the
elder day of thv old Kadis of the Orient,
vvbo substituted their own sense of equity
as the rule ot right. 1 related a story of
a Hungarian Justice.doubtless of Orien
tal oriirin. In the interior of that coun
try a Turkish ageut was sent to buy cav
alry horses to recruit tor the then proba
ble war with Bulgariaand Greece. While
there the agent desired that the proprie
tor of a village with whom he was con
tracting should show him a specimen of
tue Hungarian mode of proceeding.
"Wait a few moments,” said the
proprietor, who was also a magistrate,
‘and I will see who is in the town jail.”
Calling his constable he was informed
by that officer that a goose thief had been
apprehended during the night and was in
confinement. He sent for the criminal.
"Are there any witnesses?” asked the
Judge.
••Two,” was the answer; “the man who
nwned the goose and a man who saw the
theft.”
After hearing the evidence the Judge,
in his tierce and harsh Hungarian (Fin
msh-Tartarie) tongue, called up the cul
prit and said:
"You have been found guilty, and 1 fine
you 10 kreutzers and ten days’ imprlson
mentfor stealing the goose!”
Thereupon he summoned the owner of
the bird and said:
“1 tine you 10 kreutzers and ten days’
Imprisonment for allowing your goose to
be stolon 1”
To the witness he said:
"filrrah! I fine you 10 kreutzers and ten
days’ imprisonment for not minding your
own business!”
Hilmi Effendi then remarked that al
most as odd a case recently came before
one of the courts of Stamboul. A credi
tor came to the J udge to have a note sued.
It was for I,SOO piasters, and due three
>< ars hence. The Judge ordered the suit,
but condemned the creditor tocouflnement
for t hree years.
"For,” said Hi* Honor, “how do 1 know
w here you will be three years hence, no
ss to par you over your piasters, unless I
hold you?”
I his was an improvement on the im
prisonment of witnesses in criminal
cases,
I n Kiiypt, long before the Turkish rule
>R that region, there were (draggles be

A 'ireassiau chief, through the advice of

Ula Uy astute, happened by accident to
discover the weak points of the ruling
K'i'erniueut iu Kgypt. I'poo these points,
a* upon the rouuusofa ladder, he as-
CHtded to the tbrono. One day tboCir

ntacouah, meaning “black bird.” bo,
l * ‘**ion aa tbo chief whs enthroned he
ravecaraenusb the promised post. Among
he many cases that entnu before him was
lue following petition:

. I he poor tailor bega and cries Id vain,
ne verdict Is pronounced, It must bo
aocuuiO. Alter a long slrugglo. tbs
tailor seizes the knees of the.ludce. kisses
them vigorously,aud with tears in his
eyes exclaims:
"Oh! mighty Judge. Your decision Is
sound, but consider. Am 1 not sunport
ing a large family—my old mother, my
wife, and my seven young children,
uney all depend on me, und l
myself depend on my two
eyes? Am 1 not a tailor? If I
lose one, how can 1 pass tbs thread into
the needle’s eye? Hov can I do mv tine
sewing? Myreputatiou will suffer and
all ot us starve. Now,” he resumed,
brightening, “I have a neighbor who is a
sportsman. When he aims at the game
he shuts one eye. Why, great Judge, ms
eyes are an embarrassment for him.
Had be hut one, it would save him the
trouble of shutting the other? Moreover,
wbat difference does it make to this rob
ber? All he wants is an eye pulled out.
vv hether it be mine or that of the sports
man’s, what matter? It is all oue to
hint.”
The argument sounds plausible. The
Judge considers a moment, and then
sends for the sportsman, in spite of pro
tests he decrees the loss of the sports
man’s superfluous eye. The verdict is
carried into execution and judicial logic
is vindicated 1
Alter this recital coffeo and cigarettes
were brought into the court and placed be
fore us on the bench, and we resumed our
good-natured confabulation. We were
joined by one of tho associates of the
court, SSabit Effendi, who, with less gravi
ty than Turks are accustomed to, listened
to this recital of an Egyptian case with
much gusto.
Finding my listeners interested, I en
treated them to listen to one more of mv
Egyptian stories, illustrative of Arab jus
tice. 1 had heaid it from a story-teller in
Cairo in my rambles last mouth in the old
town. I had been trudging about with our
cavass, Hassun-Hapau, when I noted a
crowd in front of an Arab coffee house,
listening to an Arab story-teller. Hassan
is good in Arabic, and seeing me much in
terested, he translated the story faithfully.
It interested me the more as it had some
incidents qime familiar to the readers ol
Shakespeare. It was all about a poor Arab
soldier who bad a young and pretty wife,
whom he loved passing well. An oldand
wealthy Jew became unduly enamored of
her. The soldier, being out of employ
ment, was in great need ami distress, and
his wife almost starving. She proposed a
plan for work. He was to buy a hatchet
and ro]>es, and repair to the forest, aud cut
wood and sell it, while she would take to
needlework. Me went to the Jew for a
loan to set up in business. The Jew saw
bio opportunity, and, after the usual hag
gling, loaned the money on a bond. The
penalty of the bond was the same old
"pound ot fiesh.” It was the sbylock
story with some variations. The soldier
risks the penalty, but failed on pay day.
The parties were summoned before the
Judge, The half was tendered.
“Produce all the cash,or prepare to die I”
cried the Jew.
A scuffle- not set down in Shakespeare
—ensued. Toe soldier vanished, and the
Jew and the officers started in pursuit.
Hern Snakespeare fails again, and the
Orient conies again to the tore. In run
ning avvay the soldier tumbled over a wo
woman in the street. She was in an in
teresting situation. Trouble unmentiona
ble ensued. Her husband joined in the
pursuit, A little further the soldier ran
against a horseman and a horse. He
struck the horse to clear toe way. It was
a valuable horse, and the blow put out
one of Us eyes. The herseman then pur
sued the fugitive. The soldier escaped
out of the city, and, seeing a stono quar-
ry, prepared to leap into it to hide.
" -Bismillah!” he cried, and tumbled in.
He fell on a shed, under which an old
man was lying. The rafters gave wav.
The old mao was killed, and the old man’s
son seized the runaway, tied him. aud
brought him unto the Cadi. The soldier
was of au observing turn of mind, and as
he was dragged along to court he noticed
anoidmau staggering and drunk. Again
be observed a shrieking man tied on a bier
on route to the tomb, to be buried alive.
These observations terrified the soldier.
When he reached the judicial presence he
trembled and sweat. The witnesses for
the State were called—Jew, husband,
horse owner, and the sen. The reporters
took down the evidence, and the lawyers
argued: and thus per curium:
To the Jew: “Briug out your scales,
sirrah! Sharpen your knife! Cut off tne
pound of flesh! It is a foolish bond, but
the soldier must pay the forfeit. But,
mind you, no bone, no skin shall he
touched. One cut only. No additional
torture by more than one cut. Neither”
—and here comes in our own Shakespeare
—“neither exceed nor come short of the
exact pound? Lf you do, the Koran hath
a retribution In its law!”
The .Jew gave up his claim, and was
fined five silver pieces for unreasonable
prosecution.
To the relative of the disabled woman:
“Get the woman be made over to the de
fendant and restored to her health and her
previous condition, and then to her in
jured husband.”
The relative was shocked, aud especially
so when the family was fined ten pieces
for taking up the time of the court.
To the horseman: “Send for some saw
yers! Divide the horse longitudinally
from the midctie part of his nead to the
end of his tail. You, complainant, take
the sound half. Tue other part to the de
fendant wno must pay 100 pieces lor the
loss.”
As this sum would not be equal to the
loss of the animal, he was allowed to with
draw oil paying 20 pieces.
To the son of the old man who was
killed: “Bet the offender be dragged to
the stone quarry, placed on the spot where
the old man lay, and let the son jump
down on hitn.”
Ibe voting man thereupon modified his
original statement, and said: “On second
thought the affair was an accident.”
He was fined forty pieces for bringing
the ease before the learned tribunal.
The story-teller did not stop here. With
all the marvelous sequences and imita
tionsof ono of the thousand and one tales
lie held bis audience, eager to know the
rest. One of the excited crowd cried out
to Arabic, while a murmur went torougb
the crowd; “ Wuat of the drunken man *
What of the butying of the Jive man?
W lint has that to do with ft?”
“Well.” resumed the story-teller. Well,
the soldier prisoner being reluctant to
leave so good a Judge, and seeming anx
iottstssav something, tbs Judge asked
him to talk.
*“Oh, learned Judge,’ be said, ’you are
so wise that ! wonder at seeing in your
bailiwick forbidden liquor and a drunken
old sot.’
“‘Thank you,’ said the Judge. ‘lbe
law is that forbidden things are lawful in
cases of necessity. I appointed that ven
erable man to test the spirits brought here
for sale. It disguised him In his lawiul
duty. Therefore I now know its poison
oils adulteration. As to the burying case
the burial was ordered by the court, lor
know that six years ago that man’s wife
was married to another muu according to
the statute, two witnesses having sworn
that the husband bad died at Bagaad.
The husband appeared, claimed that bo
was not dead, and advanced a claim for
restoration of bis wile. I sent for the
two witnesses. They stuok to ittbultbey
had attended the funeral and saw the
man burled. Therefore, thia is not a reul
man, only bis linage or ghost. There must
be an end of trouble.’ •
Tbo soldier nad aomo misgivings, but ;
dissembled them. Ho praised the Kadi’s
justice and retired.
Our friends the Justices, seemed to sup
press with difficulty considerable hilarity i
over this aiory. After resuming our
cigarettes and reßlliug ourdaiuty coffee :

that tbeae Arable precedents were often

rinth led to the sacred precincts of
Mecca.
Our dragoman, Mr. Garguilo, who is
well versed in the Koran and familiar
with tho courts here, broke tne reserve tie
: had iudulged, and after a tew whiffs or his
; cigarette aud a twinkle in his big Levan
tine eye, gravely remarked that not only
j was the administration of tustioe con
ducted with a curious and humorous turn
j in the East, but the detection of criminals
i often displaved a cunning that Inspector
Bucket might envy, or Gaboriau enjoy.
! “In illustration,” he said, “let me give,
j not a romantic incident, but ' a veritable
, narrative—as it was given me some years
ago when 1 was trying a ease at Khar
poot.”
As the court was not to convene tor an
hour, the patience of the Ottoman was
called to the front, aud the dragoman be
gan his recital:
“A few years ago,” said he, “on the oc
casion of the anniversary of Queen Vic
toria’s accession to the throne, Mr. J. H.
Skeue. English Consul at Aleppo, gave a
diuner. He neld an evening reception,
where the creme of the society at, Aleppo
was gathered. A large number of guests
were invited to the Consul’s table. Great
pains were taken to make the dinner as
pleasant as possible. In Aleppo nothing
speaks so eloquently asdisplay. Flowers
in profusion decorated the table and the
apartments. Every piece of silverware
had been brought out to add to the splen
dor of the festivilv. The table service
was solid silver. The cavasses of the
Consulate wore their gorgeous gold
trimmed clothes and their inlaid pistols
and yataghans. After dinner the party
left the diningroom. They went into the
salons, where a large number of guests
were assembled. _ The party was a suc
cess.. The servants of the house had been
occupying themselves with serving the
guests—passing coffee to one, tea to
another, a narghile to a third, and a obi
bouk to a fourth, and so on, so that every
thing in the diningroom was apparently
trusted to the care of tho cavasses. But
what was the surprise of the Consul
when on the day after the fete he found
that the silverware had disappeared.
Search was made in every part of the
house. Not a single piece could be dis
covered. There was general consterna
tion, not so much on the part of the Con
sul himself as on the part of those in bis
service. After mature reflection upon the
mishap, the Consul called the most intel
ligent of his cavasses. He questioned
him. The cavass insisted that he did
not steal the silver, and that he did not
know who did.
“But the Consul was a very good detec
tive, and ready in his knowledge ot men
and things. He was also a cool-tempered
man. He said to his cavass: “There is
no use to swear. I am not going to change
my opinion. 1 have good reasons to sus
pect you to be the thief, and I mean that
you shall bring my silver to me within
twenty-four hours, else you will be put in
the hands of the authorities, and you will
not get away until l find my property.
There is no other alternative.’
“‘Mr.Consul,’ said the cavass, ‘I have
already told you that i did not steal your
silver, but still you suspect me. I will,
however, do all in my power to detect toe
i robber, i only beg of you to do for me
passively all 1 will ask you to do.”
The Consul replied:
j “I will do so, provided you bring back
the property.’
“ ‘The cavass asked for two or three
hours’ time and left. In an hour be came
back, bringing with him hv tho bridle a
little donkey. This he presented to the
; Consul, stating that the donkey would
find the thief if he would allow the don
key to be placed in one of the rooms and
j the window shutters to bo closed, so as to
darken the room.
“ ‘Do so,’ said the Consul, who became
curious to see what would result.
“After the donkey was placed in the
dark room the cavass asked the Consul to
call everybody in the house, masters, em
ployes, cavassfes, an-1 servants. They
came, and were placed in front of the
door of the room where the donkey was.
When all were present the cavass said:
“ “Now, we are to euter this room one
by one, and as soon as we get In we are
to take a null at the donkey’s tail. The
donkey will make no sign, sav nothing
unless the robber is among U 9. Then you
may depend on it he will bray, and indi
cate who has stolen your goods. Oh, do
not laugh. 1 have had occasion to make
use of that remedy. It never fails. Now.’
said be to the Consul, ‘you go in first,and
pull the tail. We will allfoliow you, one
by one.’
“The singular process'on began, the
Consul in the lend. Everyone entered
the room and pulled at the donkey’s tail,
but the donkey never brayed. After the
performance was over and all came out
he asked if all of them had really pulled
at the tail. All responded emphatically,
‘Yes!’
“ ‘How strange it is.’ sa.d he ‘that the
donkey did not bray. It seems that the
thief is not to be found among us. 1 can
not explain it otherwise.’
“He theu formed them in a circle
around him.
“ ‘Now. ladies and gentlemen.’ ho said,
•hands up, please.’
“Every one obeyed.
“ ‘Here is your man. Mr. Consul,’ said
he, all at once, pointing at one ot the
party—a servant. ‘You see, every one
who entered the room pulled at the tail,
and thus got his or her hands blackent-d,
while this man did not pull on the tail, as
he was sure the donkey would bray. Con
sequently bis hands are clean.’
“The fact is,” said our dragoman in
conclusion, “there is so much supersti
tion among the common people of the
East that such devices are sure to make
au a! most supernatural Impression. How
ever, the man confessed, and the silver
was returned.”
We generally concurred in the opinion
that such modes of detection would not
operate successfully Jn Loodou, Fans,
New York, or Constantinople, where no
such childish rusea would produce the
required result; but the simple Arab of
the interior shrank from the “experitnen
tum crticis” as if it were not a donkey’s
tall powdered with charcoal, but an or
deal ut fire, under the judgment of Al
lah.
What is the principle lying of the foun
dation of these simple proceedings snd
strange rulings of the old Oriental officers
and Kadis, for some general thought must
be their base? Tuis question wo agreed
to reserve. Wo bid our judicial friends
good-by, and carried wii.U us the memory
of a pappy hour, amusing and instruct
i lve. Mayl attempt a partial solution,
us the oouclusiou of ray string of nnec
| dotes?
From the time of Holomon’a decision ss
! to the proprietorship of tbo disputed baby
[to ihe case of the had Manhattan hus
band who was paroled In charge of his
wile by Justice Tower, there have been
rare touches of homely equity, after
which law is said to limp. 'The Orient is
the “fmis et origo” ot tnete wise tests,
which are applied by sugaoious Judges to
tbs affairs of men. The idea which lies
most near to the corner-stone of Moham
medan power is the idea of Justice, hon
estly administered, without technical
hindrances. An incident In the history
oi this city will serve to test this remark.
After Mobammod 11, bad conquered
Constantinople ho was told that the fall
of the Greek empire bad been predicted
by two (treek priests two years belore,
anil that these priests were still In the
city. Mohammed sent for them. He
Msked:
“How did you know that I would be
siege anu lake Constantinoplef”
They responded that it was not a guess
nor a prophecy. It was bv close observa
tion ot tbs lack of administration and es
pecially of juatice by which they had
lorined their opinions.
“How long is my power over this aoua
try going to last F*’ asked Mohammad.
“We cannot tell now,” said the priests.
“We must have three months’ time la j
which to make iuveetlgatioae aa te the
administration of justice, and lor that we
require a firman from your Majeatv, so
that we may be allowed to visit the
courts, ad also 6,(AH) pia-’.ers for oar
traveling expenses.”
The Sultan granted all they asked, and
they left. During their tour they found
themselves iu a village where a certain
Mebemcd bought a horse from a man of
the name of Osman. He paid for H 300
piasters; that is, 100 cash and 200 on
time, to be paid two or three days later.
Mebemcd took the horse home, but, to his
surprise, tho horse refused a [flood. The

comeback, in the morning, bringing the
horse with them. Unfortunately, during
the night the horse died in the hands of
Mehemed.
The second day they went to see the
Judge again, and both sides seated the
case. Osman insisted that he could pro
duce witnesses to testify that the horse
was sound. Mehemed asserted that the
best evidence ol the horse being sick was
that he died.
“Oh,” said the Judge, hoping to find a
c'ue on wliloh to found a decision. “ wnen
did tlie horse die?”
‘•Tue second day after it was taken by
Mehemed.”
“Why, then, did you notcome while the
horse was alive?” asked the Judge.
“We came, but you were at the bath.”
“Now 1 see.” rejoined the Judge, and
turning to his servant, ordered him to
bring a box wherein bis documents and
moneys were kepi. The box was brought
and opened.
“Wbat is your claim Mehemed ?”
“The restitution of tue hundred pias
ters.”
The Judge, taking that sum from the
box. handed it to Mehemed. He then
asked Usman:
“What is your claim?”
“The payment of 200 piasters, the bal
ance of the price fo- the horse.”
Taking from his box this sum, it was
paid over to Usman.
Unbeing asked, “What does all this
mean?” the Judge replied:
“Had 1 not beeu absent when the two
meu came ttie first time 1 would have
been able to decide justly in accordance'
with the sacred law; but my absence
Irom the bench, at the bath, postponed
the trial, aud, meanwhile, the horse died.
1 cannot give any decision. It is my
fault, aud that is why J pay these sums.”
The two priests returned to Con
stantinople. They stated what they had
seen.
“Well,” said Mohammed, “what is your
opinion now as to the do-ability of my
power.”
“Your Majesty,” said tho priests, “as
long as justice continues to be adminis
tered As we have witnessed it, your reign
here will be everlasting!”
If one should look lor the idea of Orien
tal justice underiving the stoiies 1 have
narrated, it would be found iu the reality
or simulacrum of that rule which ir writ
ten in tha Mosaic code—the “lex talio
nis.” Kind, hospitable and trusting as
are the Orientals, they have ideas of re
venge not based on passion or malignity.
It isa partof ttieir system. There is a
story, at the end of the “Thousand acd
One Nights,” which illustrates In a whim
sical wav this law of retaliation. The
story is thought by some annotators to
apply to Moses; but it has varied applica
tion In literature. It is found in a certain
form in Parnell’s “Hermit,” but its true
source is in the Koran, or rather in the
Pentateuch, from which so much of tho
Koran is derived. Here is the story ab
breviated:
A prophet went into a mountain, be
neath which was a spring of water. Dur
ing the day he sat on the auinmit, and
the people tvbo came to the spring saw
him uot. He saw them. One day he per
ceived a horseman dismount "at the
spring. He put down his leathern bag,
rested, drauk and retired. He iett the hug
behind him. it was full of gold pieces.
Another man came, drank and departed,
lie took away the bag. Then there came
a third inan. He was a wood cutter. He
rested and drank, when lo! the first man
dashed in, distressed lor the loss or his
bag of gold pieces.
“Where,” he exclaimed, “is my leath
ern bag of gold pieces?”
The wood cutter replied:
“Truly, 1 know notutng of it.”
The horseman drew his sword and slew
he wood cutter. He searched fiis clothes
but found nothing and departed.
The prophet upon the mountain was ob
serving all these incidents. He addressed
Allah to resolve the mvstitication of bis
mind about the divine justice of these pro
ceedings. God said to him: “Occupy
tbyselt with tbv devotion. One thing Is
thine: another is mine. You are limited
in your knowledge. You see but in part,
and hence you fail to reason. The father
of this horseman had forcibly taken a
thousand pieces of gold from the property
of the father of tho supposed robber. J
only put the son in possession of his own !
Tne wiKJd cuiter bad slain the father of
tho horseman. Wherefore the rntaliatlve
sum of the son.”
Then the prophet exclaimed:
“Extolled be tby perfection! There is
no Deity hut Thee, keener of genealogies
and ullwiso dispenser of Justice'”
After all are not most of the codes, East
and West, to say nothing of human con
duct, founded upon this natural law of
Moses and Mohammed—the law of retali
ation ? Were It not sn element in human
action and jurisprudence would we not
lack many serious and humorous illus
trations of the better side or that nature?
