Justice and equality of sorts in the Hyborean age

A young CONAN is accused of killing a wealthy man. One of his accusers explains the law to him.
"Remember the law, my black-haired savage- you go to the mines for killing a commoner, you hang for killing a tradesman, and for killing a rich man, you burn!"
From "The God in the Bowl"
Page 745. The Complete Chronicles of CONAN.
