CHATTER H.
Don Juan de AlvircZ and his sister Julia
of Spain nobly related, but like many other
families of rank at that period, impoverished
by iruitless enterprises to the new world.
They were young and full Of hope, and re-
ceiving letter from wealthy relation in
Mexico inviting them to try their fortunes in
the country Of his adoption, they sailed for
Vera Cruz.
Soon after, arriving at the city of Mexico,
they learned that their relative had received
an appointment in the government of Ma
Mia, and had sailed for that place but short
time previous, leaving Instructions for them
to follow. They hurried on, and reached
Acapulco in time to secure passage in the
annual galleon for the PHILIPPINES. Their
passage had been rapid and pleasant, and
the vessel being crowded with young adven-
turers with more of hope and spirits than re-
sources, mirth and froIic held high sway.
"Joy for the present, Danish thought for the
future" seemed to be the motto of all; even
the commander, a veteran sca-iarcr, whose
experience had secured for him the command
of this Argosy, which was treighted with the
product of the gold and silver mines, relaxed
his discipline, and frequently joined the rev.
ellers. The fairness of the breeze, and
smoothness of the sea like the song of a
syren, luIled even the usual care for the ves-
sci.
One night, having abandoned themselves
as was their wont to the song and wine-cup,
and prolonged their carouse to later hour
than usual, the alarming cry of fire reached
their ears. Rushing upon deck, their situa-
ton and danger burst at once upon their
view. All was riot and confusion, some call
ing upon the saints for aid others endeavor.

efforts. In vain the Captain endeavored to
restore some degree OF order, their horror

ible as their former vain confidence. The
wind had increased, and the flames were fast
spreading to every part of the ll-faed shin
Some one called out that the fire had rcach-
ed the magazine; a wild cry arose, and as #
by one instructive impulse, that crowd Of two
hundred beings rushed for the boats. The

Should any other person be received into
the council, it shall be made known bv
law. These persons shall have part in
the councils of the kingdom. No law of
the nation shall be passed without their
assent. They shall act in the following
manner: They shall assemble annually.
for the purpose of seeking the welfare of
the nation, and establishing laws Cor the
kingdom. Their meetings shall com
mencc in April, at such day and place as
the King shall appoint.
1t shall also be proper for the king TO
consult with the above persons respecting
all the great concerns of the kingdom, in
order to promote unaniinity and secure
the greatest good. They shall moreover
transact such other business as the king
shall commit to them.
Tloy shall still retain their own appro-
pirate lands, whether districts or planta-
tons, or whatever divisions they may be,
and they may conduct the business on
said lands at their discretion, but not at
variance with the laws of the kingdom.
RESPECTING THE REPRESENTATIVE BODY.
There shall be annually chosen certain
persons to sit in council with the chiefs
and establish laws for the nation. They
shall be chosen by the people, according
to their wish, from Hawaii, Maui. Oahu
and Kauai. The law shall decide the
form of choosing them. and also the num-
Der to be chosen. This representative
|body shall have voice in the business
of the kingdom. No law shall be passed
without the appreciation of a ma ajority of
them.
RESPECTING THE MEETINGS OF THE LEG
IsLATIvE BODY.
There shall be an annual meeting as
stated above but if the chiefs think it
desirable to meet again they may do it at
their discretion.
When they assemble, the chiefs shall
meet by themselves and the representa-
tive body by themselves, though at such
times as they shall think it necessary to-
consult together, they may unite at their
discretion.
The form of doing business shall be as
follows: The chiefs shall appoint Sec
retary for themselves who at the meetings
shall record all decisions made by them,
and that book of records shall be preserv-
ed in order that no DEGREES affecting the
interests of the kingdom may be lost.
The same shall be done bv the repre-
sentative body. They too shall choose
Secretary for themselves, and when
they meet for the purpose Of seeking the
interests of the kingdom, and shall come
to decision on any point, then that de-
cision shall be recorded in book, and
the book shall be preserved in order that
nothing valuable, affecting the interests of
the kingdom should be lost and there
shall no new law be made, without the
appreciation of a majority of the chiefs
and also majority of the representative
body.
When any act shall have been agreed
upon by them, it shall then be presented
to the king, and if he approve and sign his
name, and also the premier, then it shall
become law of the Kingdom and that
law shall not be repealed until it is done

term o. office. it may be done.
The following are the established du-
ties of the tax officers. They shall assess
the taxes and give notice of the amount
to all the people, that they may under
stand in suitable time. The tax officers
shall make the assessment in subscrviency
to the orders of the governors, and in ac
cordance with the requirements of the
law. And when the taxes are to be gath
cred. they shall gather them and deliver
the property TO the governor. and the GOV
crnor shall pay it over to the premier,
and tie premier shall deliver it to TIE
king.
The tax officers shall also have charge
of the public labor done for the king,
though if they see proper to commit it to
the land agents it is well. but the tax oili-
GERS being above the land agents shall be
accountable for the work. They shall
also have charge of all new business which
the king shall wish to extend through the
kingdom. In all business however they
shall be subject to the governor.
The tax officers shall be the Judges in
all cases arising under the tax law. In
all cases where land agents or landlords
are charged with depressing the lower
classes, AID also in all cases of difficulty
between land agents and tenants, the tax
officers shall be the Judges, and also al
cases arising under the tax law enacted
on the 1.h of June, 1889.
They shall moreover perform their du-
ties in the following manner: Each tax
officer shall be confined in his authority
to his own appropriate district. If diff
Guilty arises between land agent and his
tenant, the tax officer shall try the case
and if the tenant be found guilty, then
the tax officer, in connection with the
land agent shall execute the law upon
him. But if the tax officer Judge the land
agent to be in fault then he shall notify
all the tax officers Of his particular island,
and if they are agreed they shall pass
sentence on him and the governor shall
execute it. But in all trials if any indi-
vidual take exception to the decision of
the tax officer, he may appeal to the gov
ernor who shall have power to try the
case again, and if exceptions are taken to
the decision of the governor, on informa-
tion given to the Supreme Judges, there
shall be a new and final trial before them.
OF THE JUDGES.
Each of the governors shall at his dis
cretion, appoint judges for his particular
island two or more as he shall think eX-
pedent, and shall give them certificates
of Office. After having received their
certificates, they shall not be turned out,
except by impeachment, though it shall
be proper at any time for the law to limit
the term of office.
They shall act in the following manner:
They shall give notice before hand of the
days on which courts are to be held.
When the time specified arrives, they
shall then enter on the trials according as
the law shall direct. They shall be the
Judges in cases arising under all the laws
excepting those which regard taxation, or
difficulties between land agents, or land
lords and their tenants. They shall be
sustained by the governor, whose duty it
shall be to execute the law according to
their decisions. But if exceptions are
taken to their Judgment, whosoever takes

The Polynesian., 1841-02-06

The representative body shall appoint
four persons whose duty it shall be to aid
the king and premier, and these six per-
sons shall constitute the Supreme Court
of the kingdom.
Their business shall be to settle all cases
of difficulty which are left unsettled by
the tax officers and common Judges.
They shall give new trial according to
the conditions of the law. They shall
give previous notice of the time for hold
