In going
through this site of Halloween
games
the visitor will find that the
players for various reasons
are penalized or required to
pay a forfeit. When a player
is so fined he must immediately
surrender some pocketpiece or
personal belonging as a pawn
or security which may later
be redeemed when "Blind
Justice" passes the real
sentence.
The
players usually select some
ready witted person to assume
the part of Justice, another
acts as Crier or Collector.
Justice is blindfolded and the
Crier holds the article over
his head saying: "Heavy,
heavy hangs over thy head."
Justice asks: "Fine or
Superfine?" If it be an
article belonging to a gentleman
the Crier answers "Fine";
if it belongs to a lady he answers,
"Superfine," and asks,
"What shall the owner do
to redeem his (or her) property?"
and Blind Justice renders the
sentence.
If the
proper person has been chosen
for Justice a great deal of
fun may be caused by the impromptu
imposition of ridiculous penalties.
Or the persons making
up the party may in turn take
the part of Justice, each imposing
a penalty. Some of the most
familiar penalties are:
