hesOhdionS.-The Attorney General answered the
Resolution of the Member for Hio, in regard to
mileage fees at the service of civil processes in that
district, far he had been able to learn of the
matter. The Sheriff had a right to the services OF
the consables; the expenses of serving writs, and
so forth, were very high when distance had TO be
gone into the country. The Sheriff had told him
that the fees had not quite paid the expenses of send
ing out the constables, and he had found himself
! somewhat out of pocket

- ...k.f.
considered. The motion carried, and he moved
to insert an amendment that children be prohibited
from visiting such places during school hours.
Mr. Lyons objected to spelling good law of this
character by sticking on all sorts OF amendments
and provisions If this passed, no boy uuder the
age of Is could ever go into a sugar-mill.
Mr.. Aholo objected to these numerous amend
ments, and hoped the law would pass as originally
drafted.
His Ex., Mr.. Hutchison, objected to the clause
that had been inserted about sugar mills: the law
should be passed it originally came before the
House. The provisions of the law were good; the
intention was to keep children from running around
after dark He should support the amendment OF
the member for North Kona; and moved to strike
out the clause about sugar-mills
Mr. Hitchcock as introducer of the Bill, explained
its provisions in the clearest manner and spoke of
the balefu influence of the numerous Chinese coffee
and tea shops all over the country. They had the
most degrading effect the boys and girls of the
land; out of one school which he knew, no less
than twenty girls, who were originally under good
training and care, had been dragged into prostitu-
tion just from the habit which they had acquired Of
hanging around these shops after school hours and
during the night. He supported the motion of the
Minister of Interior
The amendment of the member for Moth Kona
was lost, and the Bill sent to engrossment
His Ex., Mr.. Hutchison, said that as it not
customary for this Assembly to bold session on
the 4th of July, he moved that when the House ad-
journs to-day, they do not again until Tuesday
morning. The motion was carried.
