Samegrelo Principality, except from other Georgian State creations, existed as an independent political unit very long time - till 1867 year. For the reason of this author, with other factors too, admits, that Principality Government takes care of people's Honor and Respect defense and proceeding from this, decisions- made by judicial officials- had confidence in population.
