any part of Uganda, if the fact of their appointment to that office is notified in the Gazette; (g) The existence, title and national flag of every State or Sovereign recognized by the Government; (h) The divisions of time, the geographical divisions of the world, and public festivals, fasts and holidays notified in the Gazette; (i) The territories of the Commonwealth; (j) The commencement, continuance and termination of hostilities between the Government and any other State or body of persons; (k) The names of the members and officers of the court, and of their deputies and subordinate officers and assistants, and also of all officers acting in execution of its process, and of all advocates and other persons authorized by law to appear or act before it; the rule of the road on land or at sea. (l) The rule of the road on land or at sea. This list is, however, not comprehensive. The Uganda Evidence Act does not have the equivalent of the clear and specific provisions quoted above in respect of Tanzania and Kenya with regard to the courts taking judicial notice of customary law in those countries. The Act, however, in S.56 (b) (Supra) covers “…………laws, ………or subsidiary legislation now or heretofore in force or hereafter to be in force in any part of Uganda.” The custom and practice of giving of bride wealth has, at various times and in various parts of Uganda been the subject of subsidiary legislation. In the former Bukedi District (Present day Tororo, Pallisa, Busia, Butatejja and Budaka District), the Bukedi Bride Price law Legal Notice No. 259 of 1950 used to apply. There were also the Teso Birth Marriages and Death law, Legal Notice No. 252 of 1959, the Bugishu bride price law – legal Notice No. 1766 of 1960, Sebei Bride Price Law, Legal Notice No. 176 of 1960, and the West Nile District Council bylaw on bride price see Wongo Vs Dominiko (supra): Tororo District has recently passed the Tororo Bye-law on Bride Price. To that extent, therefore, as for, Tororo District, bride price is currently legislatively recognized and can, in my view, be taken judicial notice of. As for the former Bride Price by laws given above, this is evidence that at some point in time, bride price was legislatively recognized in those areas. 39
