of the Kafirs, however, "a man is fined for murder, if he kills an
adulterer or adulteress in the act, although he be the husband of the
adulteress" (Maclean, _Compendium of Kafir Laws and Customs_, p. 111).
Among the Wakamba, "if a man is caught in adultery at night, the
husband has a right to kill him; but if the injured man thus takes the
law into his own hands in the daytime, he is dealt with as a murderer"
(Decle, _op. cit._ p. 487).]
