碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 台灣史研究所 === 99 === Under Japanese rule，the Legal System of Taiwan encountered a big change from the first intersection of traditional Chinese laws and modern Western-oriented Japanese laws in Taiwan. 　　In criminal matters, Japanese criminal codes were applied directly through orders of the Taiwan Governor. On the other hand, in civil matters, especially in the normative identity, the colonial authorities have always been using "old customs" as the basis of the National Substantive Law. This kind of application brings interesting situations of the interaction between the National Substantive Law and the regional old customs in the Taiwanese society. For Adultery is closely related to both criminal norms and civil norms, it is rather suitable to take Adultery as a start theme for discussing the operation of the law society in Taiwan under Japanese rule. Fisrt ,I have to trace back before 1895 to understand the norm of Adultery in Taiwan during the Qing dynasty and that in Meiji Japan. That would make it much easier to analyze how norm of Adultery actually worked in society of Taiwan under Japanese rule. Therefore, in Chapter II, norms of Adultery in Taiwan during the Qing dynasty were firstly discussed. And in Chapter III, the focus was on norms of Adultery in Meiji Government. Chapter IV is on the norms of Adultery in Taiwan under Japanese rule. Chapter V talked about the exception of Special case of proceedings for adultery. And finally, Chapter VI took the dispute of Adultery in the draft Criminal Code as the conclusion.
