GIPSY JUSTICE.

Sale of a Daughter. Bucharest, April 14. Gipsies from -the Cjraiova district have been discovered to mtaintain lheir own primitive courts of justice. A gipsy called Yova Pahani some months ago accepted sums equivalent to £2O from no fewer ithan three suitors for the hand of his daughter, and then fled to a distant village, taking her with him. The injured suitor appealed to the gipsy court, and a search party was ordered to find land arrest him. Pahani was sentenced' to 35 strokes of a cow-hide whip and ordered to return the bride prices. As he was found to be penniless l , it was decided that his daughter should be betrothed to the highest bidder for her hand, and that the proceeds should be awarded to the three prosecutors.
