 lawful for the Nakhodah to order them both to be put to death by the 

 crew. 



" If the parties are not slaves and both unmarried, they shall be 

 punished with one hundred stripes each, and afterwards obliged to marryi, 

 This punishment may be compounded on the parties paying a fine of one 

 Tahil one Pahar (ten dollars,) but in either case they must marry, and if 

 necessary, be forced to do so, after which the woman's fault shall be for*-

" If a man who is not a slave, has criminal connection with a female 

 slave, who cohabits with her master, he shall pay to the master the value 

 of such slave, provided she has never been pregnant, and has but lately 

 cohabited with her master; but if she has been pregnant, and long cohab- 

 ited with her master, the man shall be put to death. In either case, the 

 woman shall suffer death. 



" If a man who is not a slave, commits adultery with the wife of any of 

 the crew, it shall be lawful for the husband to put him to death without 

 further reference. The husband may also put the woman to death ; if 

 he does not do so, she becomes the slave of the JVakhodah ; but if the 

 Nakhodah does what is proper, he will order her to be put to death : if he 

 does not, remarks may be made. Should the husband require another 

 wife, the Nakhodah, shall provide him with one, in order that he may be 

 content and ready in the performance of his duty on board the Prdhu. 



" If a male slave has criminal connection with a female slave, they shall 

 suffer .the punishment of beating, which is to be inflicted by the whole 

 crew, under the superintendance of the Tukang Agung ; for such is the 

 law in this case with respect to slaves.
