Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Addresses Ladies and Gentlemen: At the main entrance to the yamun, or official dwelling, of each Chinese magistrate, is a raised platform. Upon this platform are a table and a magistral chair. Around the room are hung whips, bamboo rods, and other instruments of punishment. The place is always open to whomsoever will enter, and a gong hangs within easy reach. Any Chinese subject who feels himself aggrieved may freely come by day or by night and beat the gong. The magistrate, in obedience to the ancient code, must instantly don his official robes, come forth and occupy the chair of justice, and then and there take action in the case. This method of invoking justice is the same to-day as in the days of Yao and Shun, and had prevailed in China for more than two thousand years before Christ suffered on Calvary. When the Master was placed under arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, you will remember that the hour was about midnight; that he was taken to the palace of Caiaphas, the high-priest and president of the Sanhedrin. There he was brought before a committee of the Sanhedrin - a sort of court of first instance; and this was ere the first crowing of the cock. He was bound over to appear before the full Sanhedrin (the seventy), and daylight was but breaking when this remarkable body - the Supreme Court of the nation - convened. The constitution of the State of California declares that "The Supreme Court ... shall always "be open for the transaction of business."
