It is only because this slave-girl was in the habit of stealing rice to eat, and I caught her in the act, and struck her several times with my fist, and unwittingly fractured her skull. She fell to the earth and died. What strength is there in a poor housewife's fist ? It was because this MADAM CROSS-GRAIN 139 slave-girl had some internal complaint, and her time to die had come. The accident has been used against me, but I cannot be fairly charged with her death. " "Your slave-girl stole rice b...ecause you did not give her enough to eat, and she could not bear hunger. You had no compassion on her, and went the length of using your fists upon her body. The poor thing had no strength, and no wonder she died under your evil hand. And according to the statute book, what is the penalty for murder ? " " It is murder to kill with knife or the sword. Is it the same thing to only strike with the hand ? This humble housewife cannot subscribe to that doctrine. " " I direct that this low, turbulent woman, who tries to darken the question by talk and deception, shall receive a hundred blows on the mouth.
