dc.description	he customary law of a tribe is built upon its experience and naturally alters to meet new circumstances as they arise. A new step in evolution affects the law, in that it may put existing laws out of date, and equity demands that the judgments given should fit the changed conditions. In time these changes pass into law by reason of being the accepted view of all courts on the subject and the old rules are tacitly abandoned. Where, as in Uhaya, the law was unwritten, the courts naturally had wide discretion, and their interpretation and alterations were readily accepted.	-
