- "The laws of Lerotholi is a historic document which puts in authoritative form some of the customs of the Basuto that are enforced by the courts. It appears to have been compiled by the National Council of Basutoland about 1907. These laws were revised in 1922 ... [and] again in 1946, and it is this version that is [reprinted here] ... The first part is a 'declaration of Basuto law and custom, a recording, rather than a code, since it has never been given statutory authority. The second part has the force of statutory Rules under a Proclamation. So has the third part (not published here) which consists of rules of the Native courts."-Introd.
