(_c_) Persons of the village who gamble outside the village, but within the limits of the village lands, to be fined 2 _tiao_. (_d_) Gamblers under fifteen years of age to be fined 2 _tiao_. 2.

The above Rules have been made by the whole Village in council, and must be obeyed by every one, irrespective of age and sex. If any offender refuses to pay his fine the headman and elders will report him to the magistrate, who will be asked to inflict punishment." The following is a translation of a similar document in which the penalties imposed are somewhat light; but in this case the _kuei_ are of ancient date and the _tiao_ was worth a great deal more than at present. "1. Gambling Fine levied according to circumstances. 2. Cutting trees and shrubs 1 _tiao_. 3. Stealing crops 1 _tiao_. 4. Gleaning in the harvest-fields without permission 1 _tiao_. 5. Feeding cattle in a neighbour's field after harvest 1 _tiao_. 6. Uprooting grass and shrubs 500 _cash_. 7. Climbing over private walls and stealing manure or removing soil 500 _cash_. 8. Stealing fuel at night 5 _tiao_. 9. Stealing silk-worms or cocoons Fine levied according to circumstances. 10. Knocking down chestnuts with sticks 500 _cash_. 11. Allowing dogs to go on the _ts'an ch'ang_ (silk-worm feeding-ground) and eat the silk-worms[102] 500 _cash_. Headmen and elders who are found guilty of any of the above offences will incur double the specified penalty. If doubtful[103] characters enter the village and create a disturbance, the heads of all the families will hold a meeting to decide what is to be done with them."
