This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... maintain themselves handsomely when their father is no more; and even to maintain their father's family after his death, as many do." CHAPTER VIII. SLANDER. Words which cause or produce any injury to the reputation of another are called defamatory, and, if false, are actionable. False defamatory words, when spoken, constitute slander. Where a person has been found guilty for using slanderous words, he is bound to retract his words publicly, in addition to paying a small fine by way of compensation to the aggrieved party. Words imputing witchcraft, adultery, immoral conduct, crime, and all words which sound to the disreputation of a person of whom they are spoken, are actionable. The native custom is more in accordance with natural justice, equity, and good conscience than the English law, which has been denounced by many a learned j udge. Says Lord Chancellor Campbell, in Lynch v. Knight and Wife, "I may lament the unsatisfactory state of our law, according to which the imputation by words, however gross, on an occasion however public, upon the chastity of a modest matron or a pure virgin is not actionable, without proof that it has actually produced special temporal damage to her." Instead of the word "unsatisfactory" I should substitute the word "barbarous," said Lord Brougham on the same occasion. Meredith remarks: "The law against witchcraft is particularly severe, inasmuch as it generally extends to all under the same roof; as it is supposed they possessed some portion of the malign influence." What makes it a serious offence is that witchcraft is considered hereditary, and to call a person Ayen, wizard, witch, implies that every member of such person's family is possessed of an evil spirit capable of doing infinite mischief, and...

Excerpt from Fanti Customary Laws, 1904: A Brief Introduction to the Principles of the Native Laws and Customs of the Fanti and Akan Districts of the Gold Coast, With a Report of Some Cases Thereon Decided in the Law Courts This small contribution to the study of an aboriginal system of West African Customary Laws has met with an acceptance and appreciation wholly unexpected. No labour, therefore, has been spared to secure accuracy, and still striving after quality in this edition, every statement of the Law has been closely scrutinized and carefully reconsidered; and without forgetting this is but a brief introduction to the principles of the Customary Laws, some new matter has been added to several chapters. Guided by the experience derived from the use of this book in Court practice, it is hoped, the cases in footnotes will be found useful. The work of 1665, relating to the "Golden Coast of Guinney," referred to in this edition, is substantially compiled from de Faria da Sousa, the Portuguese author, the travels of John Lok in 1553 and 1554, Towrson in 1555 to 1557, published in Hakluyt, and Artus who wrote in 1625. A study of these ancient authors abundantly proves that when, in 1481, Portuguese navigators and other European trading adventurers first appeared on the Gold Coast, they found an organized society having kings, rulers, institutions, and a system of customary laws, most of which remain to this day.
