Charlton stated before the Court, that on a
former trial, in which Mr.. Pelly appeared as

decision of that case had been partially dis

deem it proper to publish the whole ofthe

was whe;herthey would honor Mr.. Charltoh's
letter OF credit; and having decided i'm the
affirmative, and advanced a certain amount
on Its security, they had clearly no control
over the further application of the funds,
which had been paid on CharltoD's letter of
credit to his immediate partner and agent.
"Such are the different views taken of the
effect Of the letter of credit by the respective
parties; and if it were necessary on this point
to decide between them, the case might, per-
haps, not be free from difficulty. There is,
however, a further letter from Mr.. Charlton,
by which it appears, that he has clearly made
himself responsible. That letter is dated the
10th OF January 1885; in which, with a full
knowledge OF the purpose to which the funds
had been applied; viz. the purchase of a ves-
sci, he tells Nlessrs. Sewall * Patrickson that
he shall use his best endcavorers for the pur-
pose of paying them. He concludes with
these words, "you may depend upon my eX-
ertions to liquidate the debt. AT present,
unless the King and Chiefs come forward to
pay me-, | have not the means.
"This would seem to amount to a clear
admission of his liability; and there can be,
therefore, no hesitation in saying that so far
as relates to the principal SUM f474I dollars,
advanced by Scwall * Patrickson on the let
ter of credit, Mr.. Charlton is legally respon-
sible.
1t remains to be considered, whether he
is, or is not, liable to interest on the above
sum; and il so, from what time it ought to
run and what rate. The verdict of the Jury
was for the principal sum, and also for inter
est at the rate of one per cent. per month,
from the 23rd of November, 1888, to the date
of the verdict, namely, the 18th of October,
1912, making a total Of 1907 dollars.
"This finding of the jury is clearly errone-
Gus. 1t is evidently founded upon the 10th
chapter Of the law of the Sandwich Islands,
respecting debts, and usury, which prescrib-
es, under certain circumstances, the payment
Of interest at the rate ofone per cent a month.
But it is to be observed that this law, (Which
it is by no means clear was intended to apply
to cases like the presently was not passed UNI
til the Goth day of April 184l, and that it
contains a provision that it shall not take
effect at any place until it shall have been
there proclaimed; or, in default ofproclama-
ton, until the LIST. of September, in that year
in all other places in the Hawaiian Islands.
"The award, therefore, of interest at the
rate Oh one per cent per mOntn, lOr SO long a
period, was not warranted; and, considering
that doubts may even exist, under the terms
of the letter Of credit, as to the liability of
Mr.. Charlton, justice seems to require that
he should not be called upon to pay interest
until after the date of judgment.
"Such, accordingly is the decision of Her
Majesty's Government, on this case; and in
that decision they desire the acquiesence of
the Sandwich Islands Government"
