A SYRIAN COURT OF TRIAL AT THE OLD BAILEY OF BEVKOUT. This ee of Themis is in the sera the official residence of the Pacha; our thither lay through a dirty, narrow, unsavory street, ¥ery embiematical of the course of justice in the East—dark, tortuous, and following no direct line. In the court-yard of the seraglio a dilap- idated staircase gave access to the ante-room of the court, and here walked, sat, smoked. and gossiped, the prisoners, their friends, their ac- cusers, their guards, and the attendants and hangers-on of the members of the tribunal; the tthen floor was covered with pools of water; 2 charcoal fire in one corner stood the inev- itable ceffee-pot, and in another was a collec- tion of swords, narghiles, muskets, pipe sticks, and similar accessories. In the centre of one of the sides a doorway, covered by a curtain, gave access to the court itself, a room as unlike our notions of what such a place ought to be as can be imagined. When we entered, the members rose with. true eastern politeness, and made the salaam; and the = having invited me to take a seat on the divan by his side, seme short com- Pliments passed and the case in hand pioceed- ed. Presently pipes were brought in, and we again exchanged salaams; the same ceremony was gone through with the coffee, and then we had time to attend to the case in hand, and ex- amine the locality. The room in which we sat, and the ante-room, appeared to comprise the whole space devoted to the Jaw courts. The contents of the ante-rocm we had already won- dered at, but the fittings of the evuri itself were in perfect keeping with them. It was a tolerably lofty apartment, with windows on three sides, decorated with wisps of musiin by way of curtains, and garnished on those sides witn divans, extending one-half of the length of the room; another divan, with a back to it. reaching half way across t! artment, leav- ing ® passage way of about six feet in width. On this cross divan sat the scoretary of the tribunal—an old gentleman—who was busy copying papers and refreshing himself, froin time to time. by thrusting his turban on one side and clawing his scalp vigorously with his very dirty fingers. On the other three divans sat the members of the tribunal. who were both judge and jury and advocates for the pris- oner and the erown to boct—that is, when they ddsit; for a very liberal amount of locomo- tion seemed nowise to interfere with the dis- el of their judicial functic: The court, within the space enclosed by the divans, was matted. Without that privileged space the nud floor appeared, and there stood the prisoner and the witness. Shortly after our arrival the president, after roundly taking te task a prevaricating culprit, got up from his seat of honor in the corner and went outside the “bar.”? After performing his ablutions he established himself on a litffe prayer carpet, and went through his prayers, being a Mo hammedan, as coolly as though there were no prisoner or witnesses under examination The prayer done he returned to his seat, all of us rising and saluting him as thoagh he had just entered the room, a fresh pipe was brought him, several cups of coffee was distributed, and all this time the case was going on, and an- other scribe was busily writing down the evi- dence. The prosident takes no notes; all that is done by one or two secretaries, who sit eross- legged like all the rest, holding the paper on the palm of their hands, and covering it by the aid of a reed pen with an admirable imi- tation of the track of any inky fly, Arabic characters. The individual who was then being examined was an Arab clerk in an European house, in whose acgounts a deficiency of some hundreds of pounds had been discovered. Being of a respectable family he was accommodated with a chair, the witness under examination being invited to take another chair near him; the prosecution was smoking on the divan, beside the president, and the dragoman of the consn- late to which the prosecutor belonged sat near bisa, bei: r officio a member of the tribuna’. The furms of procedure were simple enough. ‘There was no indictment. The principal sec- retary asked the prisoner what he had done with the money. The accused replied that some one must Lave stolen it: and then every one put in a question or an observation, as the spirit moved him, urging the prisoner to tell the truth. &c. The law of evidence in Syria is the plest thing in the world. You ask any questions you like ; you express your opinion as to the veracity of the auswers; and fly off to any cullateral inquiry that may suit you. In the midst of the examina the aceuzed named one of bis feilows-clerks as the person he suspected, and a janissary was sent to fetch bim, the court swoking and canvassing the ev- idence vpenly in the meantime. The new yxasi- culprit had witnesses to eyplain various suspi- cious matters laid to his charge. hese had to be sent for, and as they were of a lower grade they went through a form of vath repeating it after one of the scribes, and gave their evidence standing behind the old clerk of the court. out- side the limit of the divans. Prisoner. witn scribes, and judges, talked when they liked and sometimes altogether, and at the end of the first day's sitting nothing Lad been done to throw a lizht on the case; but the prisuner de- manded that his fellow clerk’s house should be searched, which w: ly dene. A second and third day pa-sed much in the same style, but on the last day it was pretty generally understood that a verdict would be givea, and the co-relig 4 the culprit among the members of the trilanal mustered in great force, for he wasa Maronite Christian, and the question of guilt or innucence was | thought off than the scandal of a conviction would bring on his friends. ard on the mem- bers of his creed. The presideut of the tribunal being « Turk, and apparently having elcarer notions of justice than the Chrigtians, at ouce expressed his o nm that the prisoner was guilty, Lut that there were extenuating cir- cumstances, and that the missing cash could not be traced to him. so that it was difficult to fix the theft directly upon him. fhe president believed that the man had only lent the money, intending ultimately to replace it. so he thought an imprisonmest for three mouths, and an order to repay the sum, would meet the justice of the case. “The prose eutor was asked what panishmeut he demanded. it was explained to hum that, if he adopted the suggestion of the president, the Christians of the Tribunal would bargain for a shorter term, su he treated the matter us he would a trans action for a bale of goods, and asked fur a year's imprisonwent, intending to take the three mouths proposed.

On the 7th of the 7th month a holy observance was ordained the children of Israel, who fasted 7 days and remained 7 days in tents; the seventh y was directed to be a Sabbath of rest for all things; at the end of 7 times i years commenced the grand jubilee; every seventh year the land lay fallow; every seventh year there was 2 general release from al! debts. and all bondsmen were sot free From this law may have originated the custom of binding young men to7 years ap- prenticeship, and of punishing incorrigible of- fenders for 7, twice 7, or three times 7 years; every 7 years the law was directed to be read to the people; Jacob served 7 years for the pos- session of Rachel, and also another 7 years. Noah had 7 days warning of the fivod, and was commanded to take the fowls of the air into the ark by sevens, and the clean beasts by sevens; the ark touched the ground in the 7th month, and in 7 days a dove was sent, and again in 7 days after. The 7 years of famine were foretold in Pharach’s-dreams, by the 7 fat and the 7 lean beasts, and the 7 ears of full corn and the 7 ears of blasted corn. The young animals were to remain with the dam 7 days, and at the close of the 7th taken away. By the old Jaw, man was commanded to forgive his offending brother 7 times, but the meekness of the last revealed religion extended his humiliation to seventy times 7. “if Cain shall be avenged 7 fold, truly Lamech seventy times 7.’’ In the destruction of Jericho. 7 priests bote trumpets 7 days, on the seventh day surrounded the wall 7 times; and after the seventh time the wall {e!!. Ealaam prepared 7 bullocks and 7 ram: for a sacrifice; Laban pursued Jacob 7 days’ journey; Job’s friends sat with him 7 days and 7 nights, and offered seven buliocks and seven rams in atonement for their wickedness; Da- vid, in bringing up the ark, offered seven bul- lscks and seven rams; jah sent his servant seven times to look for the cloud; Hezekiah in eaning the temple, offered 7 bullocks and 7 rams and 7 he goats as a sin offering. The children of Israel, when Hezekiah took away the strange altars, keptthe feast of uuleavened bread 7 days. Kings Ahasuerus had 7 cham- Lerlains, und 7 days feast, and sent for the Queen on the 7th day; and in the 7th year of his reign she was taken to him. Queen Esther had 7 maids toattend her. Solomon was 7 years building the temple, at the dedication of which he feasted 7 days: in the tabernacle were 7 lamps ; 7 days were appointed for an atonement upon the altar, and the priest's son was ordained to wear his father’s garmenta 7 days; the children of Israel ate unleavened bread7 days; Abraham gave 7 ewe lambs to Abimelech asa memorinl lor a well; Joxeph mourned 7 days fur Jacob. The rabbis say God employed the power of answering this number to perfect the greatness of Samuel, bis name answering the value of the letters in the Hebrew word, which signifies 7—-whence Hannah, his mother, in her thanks, says “ that the barren had brought forth the seventh.’’ In the scriptures are enumer- ated 7 resurrections—the widow's son, by Elias; the Shunamite’s son, by Elisha ; the soldier who touched the bones of the prophet; the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue ; the widow’s ron of Nain; Lazarus, and our blessed Lord. Out of Mary Magdalene were erst 7 devils. The Apostles chose 7 deacons. Enoch, who was translated. 7th after Adam. and Jesus Christ the 77th in a direct line. Our Saviour spoke 7 times from the cross, on which he remained 7 hours; he appeared 7 times; after 7 times 7 days sent the Holy Ghost. In the Lord’s prayer are 7 petitions, expressed in 7 times 7 words, omitting those of a mere grammatical connec- tion. Within this number arecontaiued all the mysteries of the Apocalypse, revealed to the Tcburchesot Asia; there appeared 7 golden can- diesticks, and 7 stars that were in the hand of Him that was in the midst; seven lamps being the seven spirits of God.
