If any landlord wish to transfer Or le,,

OF Residuum Lands.
All residuum lands which have bee
separated by the chiefs as residuums froi
the main plantation, district or state, ar
now to be restored to that portion Of Ian
to which they formerly belonged. l.
the occupancy and business of each stat,
district, plantation and farm be clear an
distinct, each by itself. Let no one tax
that which belongs to another, for this
the statute in relation to such persons
If any one takes the residuum which be
longs to another, then the farm of hin
who took the residuum shall be given
the owner of the residuum. Such is Ii
penalty Of those who seize residuums the
farms shall be given to those whose res(
nuns were seized.
This edict does not apply to those pt
ces of ground which have been mere
appropriated as building lots. and hou
yards; nor does it apply to those piec
of ground which have been set apart
the royal demesne lands, for such divi
ions were not taken as residuums. N
does the edict apply to places which ha'
been taken by the chiefs for the publ
interests Of the king. Residuums prope
which were taken as such are the Oh
ones to be restored, not however tho
residumns which were taken previous
the country's becoming subject to Kan
hameha |.
On Hawaii, these are the residuums
be restored, those which have been sezt
since the battle of Mokuohai-on Ma
all that have been taken since the bait
of Kauwaupali-on Oahu all since Il
battle of Nuuanu-on Kauai all since t
friendly meeting of Kaumualii with h
mehameha |, on shipboard. But posse
sors of house lots that are large like TAI
gardens, must aid the owners of the iarI
from which they were taken, in payne
of the yearly tax.

the people to refuse to exchange days
They shall exchange, and on the above
conditions. though any man may refuse
to exchange when it is of special disad-
vantage to himself.
The same privilege shall also be given
to the people. Whenever they are in
sraitcncd circumstances. and shall wish
TO be absent from the Tuesday or Friday
labor, they may then exchange with the
tax officers or landlords, and it shall not
be proper for them to refuse ; though if
any man should be guilty Of downright
deception and should in reality be in no
straits, that shall be considered as absent
ing himself from days labor.
Those landlords and chiefs who are
guilty of appropria,ing to their own use
the labor of the people on days which Go
not belong 20 them and do not return
an equal number OF days to the people
therefor, shall be fined. The tenants
shall be freed for six months from work
ing Tor their chiefs who have thus treated
them.
The following also is the fine of those
who do not 60 to the public labor Of the
king and landlords half dollar for each
man. IL man arrive on the ground at
dinner time, fourth of dollar shall be
the fine; or if the man do not arrive till
after the falling of the signal for com
mencing at 7 o'clock. he shall be fined an
eighth of dollar. If the failure be on
the kings day, the fine shall be paid to
the king if on the landlords day, it shall
be paid to the landlord. Tenants, sub
tenants, and cutivators of small lots, shall
all pay to the landlords of their particular
farms or plantations. So also head men
of states, counties, townships, and dis
tricts, shall receive from their particular
tenants, sub-tenants, and cultiva,ors OF
their lands. But tenants of those lands
which have not been subject to private
taxation shall pay only to the king in case
OF absence from public labor.
When public labor is to be done of
such nature as to be common benefit
to king and people, and therefore IL days
in month are devoted to labor, then all
persons, whether connected with the land
or not, and also all servants shall 90 to
the work, or pay fine of half dollar.
Those also shall 60 who have been freed
by the payment of nine dollars year,
and all who have been freed by their
masters having paid rial a day.
They shall not 60 however on the
kings day, nor on the landlords day, but
merely on those days belonging to them
selves.
At the period when the taxes are COL
lected, according to the notice given by
the tax officers, during those days there
will be no field labor required neither by
the king nor by the landlords, nor until
the tax officers give notice Of the same
The labor of the people during those days
will be to carry their taxes to the place
directed by the tax officers.
But all persons who are sick and those
in attendance on the sick shall on the ex-
animation of the tax officers be freed from
fine for non-attendance on the labor days.
He that absents himself without giving
previous notice shall be fined half dol
lar. He that gives previous notice shall
pay but % cents.

from one end to the other. And they
shall give special charge on this subject to
the tenants OF their lands. SO that they
may cultivate extensively all such articles
as shall be profitable. The landlords
shall derive their proilt and loss from their
own days Only, and SO also the KING sha'!
derive his profit and loss from his days
only. And the people shall derive their
protlt and loss from their days. But the
landlords shall strive to stimulate the pen-
pie to such kinds OF labor as shall be prof
table to the country.
1t IS furthermore specified that on all
days OF labor, there Shall hc two seasons
OF rest tor the iabofers one at breakfast
time, the other at dinner. If one should
remain idle while the rest are at work, his
tine shall be two days work at some 9TH
er LABOR. But men shall not be lined IN
Justly. Those that are really idle and
!azy shal! be fined. At three. O'Clock the
LABOR Shall cease, and then IT the people
wish TO remain and hear the reading Of
the laws, 1t shall be at their option to do
1t or not.
1. Respecting Parents who have numerous
families, and also respecting the lnfrm.
Those parents who have a number Of
children, three or more, and neither of
the children supported by their friends, or
if some are thus supported and three re-
main, those parents sustain heavy bur-
den, and therefore the father shall not go
to the field on labor days to work for the
king, and they shall pay no poll tax on
the year when the half dollar is required,
bat on the year when the full dollar is re-
quired they shall pay half tax.
These are the rules for those having
three children. But it shall not be proper
for any man to adopt the child Of another
Tor the purpose of avoiding the labor tax
He may however, adopt the children Of
his deceased relations and friends, when
the children are thus left orphans.
( If any parent have four children, and
neither of them adopted by another, then
that parent shall not 60 to the public la
Dor, neither tor the king nor for the land
lords, nor shall they pay any poll tax
If any parent have five, six or more
children, whom they support, neither of

and to engage in it with high hopes IN
Him who aids US by the rain from Heav-
en-. Such course would be a benefit to
all who live and labor in our kingdom.
Respecting oilers
As for the dler. let the industrious put
him to shame, and sound his name from
one end of the country to the other. And
even if they should withhold food on &C
count of his idencss, there shall be no con-
demna,ion for those who thus treat idIers.
If landlord, or chief should give en-
tertainment to such a sluggard, he would
thereby bring shame on the industrious.
For three months the tenants of him who
thus en,er,uins the sluggard shall be freed
from labor for their landlord. Such is
the punishment of him who bcfrends the
slugcard. Let him obtain his food by la
Dor.
6. Respecting applications for farms, forsak-
ing of farms, disposscssing of farms, and
the management of farms
No man living on farm whose name
is recorded by his landlord, shall without
cause desert the land of his landlord.
Nor shall! the landlord causcessly dispos-
sess his tenant. These are crimes in the
eyes of the law. If any portion of the
good land be ovcrgrown with weeds, and
the landlord see that it continue thus after
year and six months from the circulation
of this law Of taxation, then the person
whose duty it is shall put that place which
he permitted to grow up with weeds UNI
der a good state of cultivation, and then
| leave it to his landlord. This shall be
the penalty for all in every place who per-
NIT the land to be overrun with weeds.
The same rule shall apply to sub-land-
! lords and sub-tenants.
But if any man being in straitened cir
cumstances, wish to leave his farm, or if
he have business in another place, this is
the course he shall pursue. He shall first
give notice to his landlord, and having
informed him, he shall then put the farm
in as good state as he found it, after
which he may leave it.
Landlords, Cypress not your tenants !;
condemn them not without a cause while
they continue to do well. If a land agent
do thus to his tenants, and dispossess
them without crime on their part, he
shall pay fathom hog to his tenants, and
the tenant shall not be dispossessed.-
Wherefore, We landlords, land agents, and
sub-landlords do not thus to your SUBJ
tenants-take not causclessIy from them
the products of their lands, nor their do
mestlc animals, nor any other article
which is not given you. All the avails of
your own working days are yours. There
is no penalty for the landlords who con-
fine themselves to that right.
Furthermore, let every man who pos
sesses farm in the Hawaiian kingdom
labor industriously with the expectation
of thereby securing his own personal in
terest, and also of promoting the welfare
and peace of the kingdom.
These men who have no land, not even
a garden nor any place to cultivate, and
yet wish to labor for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the object of their desire, NAV ap-
ply to the land agent, or the governor. or
the king for any piece of land which is not
