Whereupon the Cook went to the bazar and bought him a fine suit of clothes and made him don it; then fared with him to the Kazi, and formally declared that he was his son. So Badr al-Din Hasan became known in Damascus-city as the Cook's son and he sat with him in the shop to take the silver, and on this wise he sojourned there for a time.
Asked the Kazi, "And where is thy house?"; and she answered, "In such a place," and appointed him for the same day and time as the Chief of Police.
It passed two generations ago into the hands of Mohammed Musa, a Hawiyah, and the present Kazi is his nephew. The origin of Zayla, or, as it is locally called, "Audal," is lost in the fogs of Phoenician fable. The Avalites of the Periplus and Pliny, it was in earliest ages dependent upon the kingdom of Axum.
Thereupon Jubayr stood up and taking a bag containing an hundred thousand dinars, said, O Kazi, marry me to this young lady and write this sum to her marriage-settlement. Quoth the Kazi to her, 'Say thou, I consent to this. 'I consent to this, quoth she, whereupon he drew up the contract of marriage and she opened the bag; and, taking out a handful of gold, gave it to the Kazi and the witnesses and handed the rest to Jubayr.
Thus the religious code is ancillary and often opposed to "El Jabr," "the tyranny," the popular designation of what we call Civil Law. Yet is El Jabr, despite its name, generally preferred by the worldly wise. The Governor contents himself with a moderate bribe, the Kazi is insatiable: the former may possibly allow you to escape unplundered, the latter assuredly will not.
Of Libuša's sisters, Kazi and Teta, nothing but their names is known even in legend; they passed into oblivion on Krok's demise, for he ordained that Libuša, his youngest daughter, should succeed him.
Out in the West, though, they marry, boys and girls, from sixteen upward, and I have met more than one bride of fifteen husband aged twenty. "When man and woman are agreed, what can the Kazi do?" In the old days, before the railway ran into the city, all the business quarters fringed the lake-shore where the traffic was largest.
A superstitious custom in India; it implies that the person who goes round, sacrifices his life at the shrine of the love, prosperity and health of the beloved object. The kazi is the judge and magistrate in Asiatic cities; he performs the rites of marriage, settles disputes, and decides civil and criminal causes.
Their last bottle of ordinaire was finished; Gabr, the Kazi, had come into camp, bearing a long official Arabic document from Lieutenant Yusuf, but not a single Journal de Geneve; there was no news of a steamer being sent with rations and forage from Suez: briefly, c'etait embetant to use the milder of the two favourite synonyms.
Doth not what strait we are in suffice us, but you must make water upon us?" The Chief of Police recognised the Kazi's voice and answered, saying aloud, "Allah increase thy reward, O Kazi!" And when the Kazi heard him, he knew him for the Wali.
