and decrease of the several offences specified is
not perfectly shown. | have no data by which
can remedy the error this year. but it will be OBJ
waited in future
1t is gratifying to observe that while the number
OF persons convicted of drunkenness (threefourths
OF whom were foreigners, mostly sailors has some
what increased, the number convicted of larceny.
adultery, and forncatiOn, the offences most preya-
lent among the natives, has materially diminished.
Lahaina still continues to be the centre of bust
ness, trade, and commerce, for the three islands
composing this district, and as q natural conse-
quence, perhaps, the great centre of crime. "More
than three-fOurths of all the offences committed in
this Judicial district" says the District Attorney.
"haye been committed within the Jurisdiction of
the Police and District Justices of Lahaina.''
For further information on this subject, respect
ing the islands of Maui, Moloksi and Lanai / bep
TO refer you to the report cf 'ames w. Austin,
Esq, hereto appended. Mr.. Austin has made the
complete circuit of the island nf Maui within the
last year, on the business of hs o;ice as District
Attorney, and has been ndefatig; ole in his efforts
to enllghten the district Justices and promote lust
administration of the laws. lie has won the high
esteem and confidence of the l. his district.
by giving counsel and advice .Ie poor and op-
pressed and otherwise assisting them in obtaining
their just rights, free of charge.
OAHU.
The report OLA. B. Bates, Esq, the Crown Attor-
ney of this District, shows the number of persons
convicted for crimes and misdemeanors on the is
land of Oahu, during the year 1853, to be 1862,
showing decrease during the last year of $50.
This decrease, am happy to say, is i'll the pre-
vaillng offences of drunkenness aud icentiousness
as will appear by the following table, exhibiting
the kind and number of offences committed, and
the comparative increase and decrease of the same
during the last two years.

The general administration of justice on kanai
though far short of what ought to be, is perhaps
better than on any other island Of the group This
is owing in great degree TO the active and vigil
ant supervision exercised the District Justices
of that island, by the present Circuit Judge; and
we need man of such honesty, industry, and true
love for natives, in every island of the Kingdom
Especially do we need such a man, or rather two
of them, on the island of Hawaii, who shall travel
their circuits visiting each district at least three
times every year.
The duties of the District Attorney for Kauai
and Niihau daring the past year, which nave been
faithfully discharged, were more arduous than usu
al, and in my opinion he should have better pay.
Two hundred dollars, his present salary, Is mis-
erable pittance for the duties and responsibilities
of his post; and beg to suggest the proPriety OF
increasing his salary TO FIVE hundred dollars.
A more liberal provision should also be made for
the expenses of the Circuit Court Of the fourth Ju-
dical District. The last legislature only approprl-
ated two hundred and fifty dollars for that purpose,
which was little more than half required, and the
excess has been advanced by the Circuit Judge out
of his own pocket.
For comparative view of the criminal cOnvic-
tons for the entire group during the last two
years, would refer you to the following tablei

OF the 57S persons convicted of drunkenness,
nearly all of them were sailors, and 572 ofthe num-
ber were tried and convicted in Honolulu. The
number of Foreigners was 465, while that of the
Natives was only ll3.
Of the 360 convictions for Adultery and fornica-
ton, 277 were in Honolulu, and the proportion of
foreigners to natives that of 81 to3O6.
OF the lO7 cases of Larceny, 81 were convicted
in Honolulu sc being foreigners and Il natives.

REPORT
THE
CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT
THE
Hawaiian Legislature of 1854.

MOBILES AND REPRESENTATIVES,:
Agreeably with the requirements of the Cons,i-
tuition, beg to submit for your consideration the
following report of the Judiciary department of the
Kingdom for the year 1853. | regret to say, that
owing to the severe pressure Of other duties nv
protracted illness, and the long delay to which
nave been subjected in procuring clear and correct
returns from some districts this report is not as full
as could wish. Most, if not all of YOU, howey.
er are aware of my situation and for any deficien
cles that may appear, must ask your indulgence
HAWAII.
From the district Attorney of the large and i'm
portant island of Hawaii, Floyd Baker, ESQ.,, have
received a valuable and satisfactory report OF
the judicial transactions of that district for the veal
1858; and one which | think may be relied upon
as correct. Mr. Baker has visited every district
on the island, except one, at much labor and ex-
pense, giving instructions to the several district
justices in regard to the business and duties of thei
office, and | take pleasure IN saying that | have
learned from several quarters, that he has proved
himself useful and efficient officer. The duties
of District Attorney of Hawaii, when properly
performed, are arduouS and important-and would
respectfully suggest that the present compensation
allowed to that officer, of 5000 per annum is too
small for the services of man worthy to fill the
post.
The whole number of convictions for various of
fences, many OF which are very slight, on the Is
land of Hawaii, during the year 1853, is $50. which
shows an increase of I65 over the year 1852, but
still large decrease when compared with the year
1851. Moreover, | should add, that the report for
1852, was not full, as 1t covered space of only
eleven months.
The following table will give you the several of
fenses for which convictions have been made, and
the comparative increase and decrease of said Of
fences, during the years 1852 and 1853.
