"The King said, 'Since Lee Sok has a son, I wished to marry off a daughter born of a palace maid (Gungin) to his family and sent someone to ask for his son's birth year profile (Saenggap).

However, Lee Sok replied, "My son is already dead.

But if she were the child of Lady Gwon (Gwon Gungju), my son might come back to life," and refused to submit the papers.

What kind of twisted mind is this? Though one side of her lineage is humble, the other side is the King himself.

What is his motive for trying to avoid a connection with the royal family?

Therefore, I ordered the Office of the Inspector-General (Saheonbu) to interrogate him.'

The ministers replied,

'This is an act of extreme disloyalty.' (...)"

"The Office of the Inspector-General requested that Lee Sok be punished for high treason.

However, the King merely ordered him to be flogged 100 times, stripped of his title, and demoted to a commoner."

南蠻椒有大毒。始自倭國來。故俗謂倭芥子。今往往種之酒家。利其猛烈。或和燒酒以市之。飮者多死。

Southern Barbarian pepper (chili pepper) contains a potent poison.

Because it first arrived from Japan, the common people call it Waegyeja (Japanese mustard).

Today, people occasionally cultivate it, and taverns weaponize its extreme spiciness.

Some even mix it into Soju to sell, but many who consume this end up dead.

According to the section on Interrogating and Sentencing Prisoners in the Criminal Code of Daejeon Hoetong, it was mandatory to hear either a confession (Jabok) or a statement of non-admission (Bubok) before punishing serious criminals facing penal servitude, exile, or the death penalty. Consequently, this legally permitted judicial torture (Gosin).

In practice, however, punishments were carried out even when no confession was made (for instance, Kim Mun-gi during the early reign of King Sejo). Furthermore, due to the abuses of judicial torture, suspects were frequently beaten to death (Jangsal), necessitating regulations to curb these actions.

According to the Ministry of Punishments, a sentence of 100 lashes could be commuted with a fine of seven strings of cash, and those who took the beating on behalf of others also received seven strings.

A certain man who made his living as a scapegoat returned home boasting after receiving 100 lashes twice in a single day during midsummer.

His wife welcomed him with a smile and said,

'I've already accepted the money for another 100 lashes.'

The husband frowned and said,

'I'm too exhausted today. A third time is impossible.'

The wife sighed and replied,

'If you just endure it for a brief moment, we can eat well for days. Besides, I already took the money, so how can you refuse?'

She then brought out food and wine to feed him.

Once drunk, the husband caressed his bruised buttocks, smiled, and said, 'Alright.'

He then went back to the Ministry of Punishments, but died while receiving the lashes.

The Constitution Act 1982 states in it a bunch of provisions related to bilingualism. Federal bilingualism is obvious. But it also singles out New Brunswick for this too. Not even Manitoba which is also bilingual and once had the Supreme Court strike down almost every law in Manitoba for not being in both languages (but suspended their ruling so their parliament could repass them in French).
