Analogous to our crime of piracy is the forcible arrest of ships at sea and the transfer to them of valuables.

Sometimes the Kosekin pirates give themselves up as slaves.
Kidnapping, assault, highway robbery, and crimes of violence have their parallel here in cases where a strong man, meeting a weaker, forces himself upon him as his slave or compels him to take his purse.
If the weaker refuse, the assailant threatens to kill himself, which act would lay the other under obligations to receive punishment from the state in the shape of gifts and honors, or at least subject him to unpleasant inquiries.

Murder has its counterpart among the Kosekin in cases where one man meets another, forces money on him, and kills himself.

Forgery occurs where one uses another's name so as to confer money on him.
There are many other crimes, all of which are severely punished.

The worse the offence is, the better is the offender treated.
