    DAUMIER (Honoré)
    CHINESE JUSTICE. "Chinese lawyers exert themselves so much, strike so many oratorical poses, that the judges, so as not to be distracted by the defense's gestures and miss nothing of its arguments, generally engage in some manual labor: one whittles his desk with a penknife, another draws stick figures on stamped paper or makes paper boats; others resort to a more effective method: they close their eyes and fall into a deep contemplation from which the bailiff, who is shouting 'Silence!' with all his might, has great difficulty rousing them… that is why Chinese justice is depicted with a blindfold over its eyes."
