forgot to let go each other, and one wa'
pulled into the river, but was got out in a
duly sober condition.

Common Law vs.. Equity.

Mr. EDIToR-At the risS of Z" winging my shafts -
at small Z" game beg leave to reply to " Hawaii ,
in the GazeRe Of the 11th inst, who evidently has
his : feathers rufied by your comments on the
recent trial at Kauai Icy Mr.. Justice Widemann of
the Supreme Court.
Ii is quite refreshing 10 be informed that the
% object Of your attack passes yon with as much con-
tempt as he would a chattering monkey" but. pray
tell me, how does . Hawaii " know this?
What L learn from some members of that " entire
Bar" who Hawaii - says are satisfied with the
action Of the Judge in this now one of the causes
ceLe6res, is this, that the ~pleadings alleged that the
deed Of conveyance under which the defendant held
was fraudHienHg obtained, aud that the evidence on
both sides bore almost entirely on the question as to
whether the consideration money was ever paid to the
plaintiff.
On the rery face of the proceedings, therefore, this
was a case where equity alone could relieve; and the
Circuit Court of Kauai, being a Court ofcommon law
and the form of the action being gectme7f, had no
jurisdiction whatever, and the presiding Judge should
have declined to exercise it, and thus have saved the
natives the $50 Of costs paid.
BE il remembered, also, that the counsel engaged
ON both sides were native Hawsiians, of whom the
learned Judge is supposed to be the peculiar patron.
This, however, was n case where an = intimate
knowledge of the Hawaiian language, IA long expert
ence in the Legislature, and a sound business COM
nonsense . were not sufficient to enable him to q see
the point until the motion to arrest the judgment
had been made by a foreign lawyer.
/ regard this criticism Of the legal a~ttainments of
our judges as a perfectly legitimate matter, otherwise
| would not have asked space for this article.

TIosE who in the course Of their business have
occasion To use deadly poisOns, cannot DE too
careful in taking every precaution against their
possibly falling into the hands Of ignorant per-
sons. The case Of the poisoned cakes for killing
rats on Kauai, is fresh in the recollection of the
public, as well as that Of a barrel used for hide
poison on Hawaii. which was subsequently used
for a water container. In both instances, human
life was sacrificed 20 carelessness.
Ga Monday morning a native brought several
casks to q cooper's shop in town. and offered
them for sale. The cooper, on examining the
casks, Immediately aseertained that they had
been used for hide poison, and on enquiry it APP
peared that the native found them outside of an
enclosure at the east end OF Queen street, where
it is known that hides have been prepared for
sh.yment. The matter was brought to the at
tentiOn Of Marshal Parke, who at once caused
the Casks to be destroyed to prevent any possible
mischief from their use by anybody. Had the
native been in the poi business, instead Of offer
ing the casks for sale ne would undoubtedly
have used them in his business, and the probable
result ia something fearful to contemplate.
Chapter SO of the Penal Code. {. To regulate
the sale of deadly poisons, - was amended during
the late session of the Legislature, SO rs to M
clude the sale or delivery of - any wooden vessel
OF container, which shall have contained any
deadly poison " bat the trainers of the law ap-
pear not to have contemplated a case of any one
so careless as to throw away such vessels or
containers - in such a way that they would be
likely TO be picked up and used by any one. Let
employers exercise particular vigilance that their
employees, who have the handling of deadly
poisons. are thoughtful and careful men.
