Excerpt from Selected Addresses

At the main entrance to the yamun, or official dwelling, of each Chinese magistrate, is a raised plat form. Upon this platform are a table and a magistral chair. Around the room are hung whips, bamboo rods, and other instruments of punishment.

The place is always open to Whomsoever will enter, and a gong hangs within easy reach. Any Chinese subject who feels himself aggrieved may freely come by day or by night and beat the gong. The magis trate, in obedience to the ancient code, must instantly don his official robes, come forth and occupy the chair of justice, and then and there take action in the case.

This method of invoking justice is the same to-day as in the days of Yao and Shun, and had prevailed in China for more than two thousand years1 before Christ suffered on Calvary.
