7 In an arranged fight – say for killing a man
of the Waa class. All the Bunjil men connected
with the aggressor would be collected on one side
under their Headman and all the Waa
men connected with the victim under their Headman
on the other. The avengers would throw spears
at the defendant until either he was
killed, was incapacitated from further defence
or until his Headman called out “Enough”.
William said that he did not remember a case
when the Kūlin had refused to obey the mandate
of a [ng - crossed out] Headman on such an occasion.
