THE INTERESTS OF THE CHIEFS. 83 ward as soon as the contemplated registry was completed. Before passing to a consideration of the objections in detail which the honourable member had brought forward, the Queen's Advocate reminded the Counoil that if tenants were bound to render services to the chiefs, so the chiefs were bound to render services to the king. We gave up the latter in 1832, but allowed the chiefs to retain the former. This point seemed to have been quite lost sight of by the chiefs and priests who had petitioned against the measure and by the honourable member. He would now briefly advert to the objections in detail. First, he objected to the definition of Faraweni. It was taken from Sir Charles Marshall who not only spoke on his own authority but on that of Sir John D'Oyley and other lawyers. Mr. Coomaba Swamy: I did not question the definition. The chiefs and priests do. The Queen's Advocate regretted that on such a question the honourable member did not represent his own views. The authority of the chiefs and priests could not be relied upon, particularly in face of their statement that a Sannas or Tudupota was indispensable to constitute a Faravani tenant. He had been thirty years in practice and had been concerned in numbers of service cases--he did not know of a single one in which a tenant held a Sannas or Tudupota. He would not say that the case was one altogether unknown, but it was one at least of very rare occurrence. The next objection of the honourable member was that tenants had the right to demand commutation whether the landlord consented to it or not. If the two consented we wanted no law, but inasmuch as we desired to move tenants to get rid of their serfdom it would have been fatal to such an object if...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Justice and Society in Colonial Sri Lanka (1987) examines Sri Lanka’s justice system under British rule, and concentrates on two of its aspects: the effectiveness of the administration of law and order, and the relationship between crime and social change. It argues that the colonial judicial system did penetrate rural areas, but did not operate in the way the British intended. Instead, Sri Lankans adapted the state institutions so that they functioned more effectively within indigenous culture.

Download or read book Resisting the Rule of Law in Nineteenth Century Ceylon written by James S. Duncan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers in-depth insights on the struggles implementing the rule of law in nineteenth century Ceylon, introduced into the colonies by the British as their “greatest gift.” The book argues that resistance can be understood as a form of negotiation to lessen oppressive colonial conditions, and that the cumulative impact caused continual adjustments to the criminal justice system, weighing it down and distorting it. The tactical use of rule of law is explored within the three bureaucracies: the police, the courts and the prisons. Policing was often “governed at a distance” due to fiscal constraints and economic priorities and the enforcement of law was often delegated to underpaid Ceylonese. Spaces of resistance opened up as Ceylon was largely left to manage its own affairs. Villagers, minor officials, as well as senior British government officials, alternately used or subverted the rule of law to achieve their own goals. In the courts, the imported system lacked political legitimacy and consequently the Ceylonese undermined it by embracing it with false cases and information, in the interests of achieving justice as they saw it. In the prisons, administrators developed numerous biopolitical techniques and medical experiments in order to punish prisoners’ bodies to their absolute lawful limit. This limit was one which prison officials, prisoners, and doctors negotiated continuously over the decades. The book argues that the struggles around rule of law can best be understood not in terms of a dualism of bureaucrats versus the public, but rather as a set of shifting alliances across permeable bureaucratic boundaries. It offers innovative perspectives, comparing the Ceylonese experiences to those of Britain and India, and where appropriate to other European colonies. This book will appeal to those interested in law, history, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, cultural and political geography.
