Mr.. Thompson did not see the need Of referring this
bill to the judges till next session. The Attorney
General being at its head was o sufficient guarantee
to this Assembly that it was q proper one, and he had
given his views of its necessity. He, (Mr. ~Thompson)
had assisted in framing the bill, and thought on the
whole it was a very good one, though in considering
it by sections he would propose amendments, and so
would object to delaying action thereon.
Mr.. Kahaulelio objected to the bill being referred
to the judges, thus making them, as it were, mem
bers of the House, but as it is a long one, to save
time, would move that it be given to q special COM

next session. ~ M

thereon for the bill itself it was in print before
each member, and they could see it clear and uncom-

Mr.. Lyons opposed postponement, as we had moth

Mr.. Lunalilo then occupied the time of the Hopse,
pending his remarks the House took q recess.
Assembly met again at 124Fo'clock, and Mr.. Kau-
