[27] Quoted by the Rev. W. E. Cousins in _Madagascar of To-day_. [28] ‘The transition of any community from a state of repression to one of supremacy tends to change the character of the offences of which it takes cognizance. It accentuates the organization. It elevates the by-laws to a new prominence, and makes offences against them important.’--Hatch. [29] See _Missionary Chronicle of the London Missionary Society_, June, 1884.
