11. This was an ancient method of apprehending a criminal whereby a complainant goes to the middle of the village
and shout or blow his horn to call the village to assemble and run to the direction of the culprit, who when caught is
meted with punishment without giving him the opportunity to defend himself. This system was eventually changed
in a much later date, wherein once an offender was caught, he is brought before a royal judge, but again he cannot
defend himself since the only facts permitted to be presented and given weight by the said judge were his actual
capture at the crime scene or his possession of stolen items. This method slowly developed over a period of years.

determine the guilt or innocence of the suspect. The modern version of this method today is what we call “citizen’s
arrest”.
