It is the duty of this council to examine the evidence forthemselves and to come to a conclusion without further presentation ofthe matter on the part of the person aggrieved. Having decided thematter among themselves, they appear before the chief of the councilof the aggrieved party to offer compensation. If the gens of the offender fail to settle the matter with the gens ofthe aggrieved party, it is the duty of his nearest relative to avengethe wrong. Either party may appeal to the council of... the tribe. Theappeal must be made in due form, by the presentation of a tablet ofaccusation. Inquiry into the effect of a failure to observe prescribed formalitiesdeveloped an interesting fact. In procedure against crime, failure informality is not considered a violation of the rights of the accused, but proof of his innocence. It is considered supernatural evidencethat the charges are false. In trials for all offenses forms ofprocedure are, therefore, likely to be earnestly questioned. _TREASON.
