In a recent case, reported below, 1 the East African Court of Appeal held (SPRY, V.-P. dissenting) that, provided certain conditions were satisfied, compensation in the form of blood money might be awarded under section 176 of the Tanganyika Criminal Procedure Code. SPRY, V.-P., however, was unable to agree “that the award of blood money is authorised by section 176 of the Criminal Procedure Code”
A History of the Adoption of Codes of Criminal Law and Procedure in British Colonial Africa, 1876–1935
This article is a survey of the process whereby codes of criminal law and procedure, having their origin in English law, were introduced into the British colonies and protectorates lying between the Sahara and the Zambesi.

How Nigeria got its Criminal Code
The Crown Colonies have for a long time, and for obvious reasons, been regarded as affording a suitable ground for the exercise of the efforts of codifiers, and I believe I am correct in saying that if a Colonial Chief Justice or Attorney-General wishes to gain the favour of the Colonial Office, he offers to codify the laws he helps to administer
