The table below shows 26 lettres \u00e9chang\u00e9es, entre le magistrat colonial Jean Sohier et le r\u00e9v\u00e9rend p\u00e8re Gustaaf Hulstaert<\/a>, between 1949 and 1967. G. Hulstaert connaissait le p\u00e8re de son interlocuteur, Antoine Sohier<\/a>, ancienne figure de la magistrature coloniale retourn\u00e9e \u00e0 la m\u00e9tropole o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait magistrat de cassation. G. Hulstaert asks J. Sohier pour une recension tandis que le jeune magistrat demande \u00e0 l\u2019homme d\u2019\u00e9glise s\u2019il est en possession de jugements de juridictions indig\u00e8nes. J. Sohier a en effet succ\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 son p\u00e8re dans son \u0153uvre d\u2019\u00e9tude et de diffusion de la jurisprudence des juridictions indig\u00e8nes (see. l\u2019onglet Colonial journals<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, au d\u00e9part, le r\u00e9v\u00e9rend p\u00e8re Hulstaert estime ne pas avoir le temps de correspondre avec Sohier, la voie \u00e9pistolaire ne permettant pas les m\u00eames nuances qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019oral, l\u2019\u00e9change se poursuivra n\u00e9anmoins. Cette correspondance \u00e9claire le fonctionnement de l\u2019Eglise au Congo ainsi que celui de l\u2019administration territoriale et de la magistrature. Les deux hommes discutent \u00e9galement de l\u2019avenir de la Colonie et des rapports entre colonisateurs et colonis\u00e9s. So many subjects on which the point of view of the two men sometimes varies greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est \u00e0 noter que les lettres n\u00b09 et n\u00b015 parlent du d\u00e9c\u00e8s en Chine, in 1952, du fr\u00e8re de Jean Sohier, le pr\u00eatre Albert Sohier. Incarc\u00e9r\u00e9 en 1951 et tortur\u00e9 par le r\u00e9gime communiste, il est officiellement d\u00e9clar\u00e9 mort en 1952. Il est cependant vivant et est lib\u00e9r\u00e9 par la Chine en novembre 1954. Pour plus d\u2019informations sur cette affaire, see the biography of Antoine Sohier(p. 3, point F)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
