HABEAs CoRPUs.-By the Kamehameha ", which
vessel arrived here on "Wednesday OF last week from
Tahiti came as passengers some thirty Chinese. Il
seems that their employer at Tahiti permitted them
to leave his employ aud take passage in the vessel
provided they could themselves, from their savings,
pay their Passagrs-frnm twenty to twenty-five
dollars eacb.-or make arrangements to pay them
upon their arrival here. Not having, in most cases.
sufficient money pay their passages, thecaptain OF
the vessel agreed with them 10 bring them to
Honolulu, with the understanding that they should
pay him or the owners of the vessel upon arrival
When the vessel arrived, the owners, probably mis-
understanding their authority in the premises, ana
probably having good reason TO suppose that the
passengers would attempt avoid paving for their
passages. attempted to detan them board until a
satisfactory settlement was had-or, in fact, until
The Cinnamon had paid what they had agreed to-
The men were subsequently, taken out OF the vessel
a wnt ofhdJeds corpus, and of course discharged
from custody by Judge Hartwell. Lately, numbers
Of Chinese have obtained passages from Tahiti to
this place Ju precisely the conditions those
who came by the KamehameIa. and Ia every
Instance but THE one. have promptly Dsade arrange
meuts TO pay their passages It is question Il,
after the experience OF this vessel any of this
kind Of passengers will be taken in vessels from
Tahiti 10 Honolulu as the facility vita which these
mcu have avoided their obligations will soon be
known to Ibcir coun,ryu,ru in both groups, future
aspirsris TO a Change from Tahiti to Hawaii viii be
apt, il permitted, TO follow tbeir example.
