This text is designed to provide a clear explanation of the English legal system and how
it works in practice today. As ever, the legal system and its operation are currently the
subject of heated public debate, and we hope that the material here will allow you to
enter into some of that debate and develop your own views as to how the system should
develop.
One of our priorities in writing this text has been to explain the material clearly, so
that it is easy to understand, without lowering the quality of the content. Too often, law
is avoided as a difficult subject, when the real difficulty is the vocabulary and style of
legal textbooks. For that reason, we have aimed to use 'plain English' as far as possible,
and explain the more complex legal terminology where it arises. There is also a glossary
of difficult words at the back of the text. In addition, chapters are structured so that
material is in a systematic order for the purposes of both learning and revision, and clear
subheadings make specific points easy to locate.
Although we hope that many readers will use this text to satisfy a general interest
in law and the legal system, we recognise that the majority will be those who have to
sit an examination on the subject. Therefore, each chapter features typical examination
questions, with detailed guidance on answering them, using the material in the text.
This is obviously useful at revision time, but we recommend that when first reading
the text, you take the opportunity offered by the questions sections to think through the
material that you have just read and look at it from different angles. This will help
you both understand and remember it. You will also find a section at the end of the text
which gives useful general advice on answering examination questions on the English
legal system.
This text is part of a series that has been written by the same authors. The other texts
in the series are Criminal Law, Contract Law and Tort Law.
We have endeavoured to state the law as at 1 January 2016.

the same custom as the Dayaks of taking the name of their first-
born, as Pa Sipi, the father of Sipi.
According to the Orang Kaya’s agreement, a party started off at
daylight to search for my missing followers; and I went out and sat
upon the stump of a gigantic tree, to view the surrounding country, a
little anxious about my men. The recent history of the Adang people
is a good illustration of the injury done by the Kayans to the
surrounding tribes. They formerly lived near the Adang river, but
extended their farms to the entrance of the Madalam; but they have
been gradually driven back, until they have abandoned the Limbang
waters, and now drink those of the interior of the Trusan, the whole
country from the Madalam being now jungle. I do not imagine they
are nearly so numerous as they were, as in the last great Kayan
foray they suffered awfully. They were, I believe, all collected in their
villages at some great feast, when the Kayans, about 3,000 strong,
set upon them; the first village was surprised, the fighting-men slain,
the rest taken captive; the few fugitives were followed up so fast as
almost to enter together the second village with their pursuers,
where the same scene again took place. The burning of these
villages, and the beating of gongs and talawaks gave notice to the
rest, and all who could fled precipitately over the Adang range,
followed by their relentless foes, who killed and captured a very
great number.
The view from the clearings at the back of the houses is
extensive. To the east three lines of hills, backed in the distance by a
long range of mountains, where the salt springs are found; to the
north there is a fine valley, descending on either side in easy slopes
to the banks of the Trusan, and as a background there is a fine
range of mountains. They say the highest is Brayong, which rises
opposite Labuan, and is one of the loftiest peaks visible from that
island—direction east of south; so that if these people be not
mistaken, I know my position tolerably well; in fact, this morning,
before I heard the name, these heights reminded me of the Lawas
mountains; but they appear so close, that all my bearings and map
must be utterly wrong if the Muruts have not made a very great
mistake; it is only one of the guides that calls it Brayong. The distant
eastern range is said to shed its waters to the opposite coast.
The village at which we are staying is but a very ordinary
specimen of a Dayak location. The houses are poor, though
effectually closed in, to avoid, they say, the poisoned arrows of their
enemies, who are continually haunting this neighbourhood, a very
great exaggeration evidently. From the clearings that are seen on
every side, there must be a very fair population assembled around
these hills; but their continual petty quarrels have no doubt a bad
effect on their prosperity and their power to resist their great enemy.
There are about fifty families in this community, and like many of the
other inland Dayak tribes, each family occupies but a small space;
the front verandah, closed in like a long room, is filled with fireplaces,
showing that the Muruts of the plain find an elevation of 3,500 feet
very cold. I had no blanket last night, and had to get up about three,
and have the fire replenished, for I felt too cold to sleep; they use
very large logs as the chief stay, and with a little care they remain in
all night.
I notice here many beads and akiks (agate beads), but little brass
wire. About twelve to-day nine of my followers made their
appearance, five Muruts bearing their burdens for them; they said
that the two lads of the party were quite exhausted, and many of
them, from eating the cabbage of the rattan, had been vomiting.
They only managed to reach the river in which I bathed, and were
found there by the party of Muruts I had sent out; five Muruts
continued the search for old Japer and the original missing four. I am
afraid I shall not see anything of them before to-morrow, as old
Japer’s legs are very much swollen. I had scarcely written the words,
when the report of two muskets told me that they were not far off,
and all are now here but Japer, who is slowly coming on behind. At
sunset he arrived, utterly exhausted.
So suspicious had my men become from hearing the Muruts
describe the treachery of the head-hunters, that when the relieving
party approached them, they warned them off, threatening them with
their guns; the Muruts fortunately shouted out Orang Kaya Upit’s
name and then they were trusted. While sitting round the fires this
evening, I noticed a sound like Brooke, and listening more attentively
I heard “Tuan Brooke! Tuan Brooke!” continually repeated. I asked
what it was they were referring to. One of the interpreters explained
how delighted they were to see the adopted son (for so I found I had
been introduced) of the great Mr. Brooke, the friend of the
aborigines, the fame of whose good deeds had reached even this
very secluded people; and their only surprise was that he who had
given peace and happiness to the “Southern Dayaks” should neglect
to extend his benefits to the Northern. They thought that a word from
him would stop all the invasions of the Kayans, and enable them to
return to their own regretted country.
I was very anxious to trace the means by which intelligence was
conveyed to these Muruts of the peace and plenty that now reigned
among the Dayaks of Sarawak, and the way in which it reached this
tribe was very simple. When their communities broke up on the
Upper Limbang, some fled to the interior, while others made their
way down the river to the country at present inhabited nearer the
sea. At rare intervals, a party would start to visit their relations, and
though, as I have shown, they occasionally suffered heavy losses as
at the Naga Surei rapid, yet the practice was kept up. Sir James
Brooke’s name is of course very familiar wherever the Malays
extend, and, although many would try to prejudice the minds of the
aborigines against him and every other Englishman, yet the effect
would not be permanent, as they all remember and ponder on that
great event, the capture of Brunei by Sir Thomas Cochrane’s
squadron.
To those unaccustomed to these oppressed aborigines, it would
appear incredible—the awe and fear inspired by the Sultan and his
nobles in former times; and the idea was universal that the Bornean
government was the greatest and most powerful in the world; but our
navy gave a rude shock to that belief, and the joy among the
aborigines on hearing that the court was obliged to hide itself in the
jungle, and afterwards humbly apologize for its conduct, spread far
and near. They now began to give more credence to the stories
which had been spread by men like Japer of the power of the
English, and of the justice with which our countrymen ruled men.
Adang visitors carried back to the far interior imperfect versions of
these affairs, but what dwelt in their minds was, that there were
some of their countrymen who were happy under the rule of Tuan
Brooke.
Though they knew something of him in this way, similar stories
reached them from other sources; slowly the news spread through
the villages bordering on the Trusan, and were carried up against the
stream to meet the same tales brought over by the Kayan envoys,
who declared that Tuan Brooke was their great ally, and therefore
the Adangs were anxious to secure his influence to put down the
Kayan forays.
The highest peak beyond the houses above 5,500 feet is called
Lobang Rimau, “The Tigers’ Cave,” about which they tell this story:
that formerly a tiger killed a woman; the people turned out, and gave
chase; the tigers, eight in number, took refuge in a cave near the
peak; the hunters lit a great fire at the entrance, and smoked them to
death. Since then there have been no tigers, but the place has been
called “Tigers’ Cave” to this day; and it is worth noticing that the
Muruts of Padas have a great dread of ascending to the summit of
some of their highest mountains, on account of the tigers which still,
they say, lurk in the deepest recesses of the forest.
