Nor UNANIMoUs.-Since the year 1856, there have
been nine convictions and executions for capital
crimes in Honolulu, in only two of which was the
jury unanimous. This fact would be more inter
esting had the Court ruled last Thursday that only
a unanimous verdict was legal.
WRoNG-Our contemporary the Gazette gets
things mixed occasionally. The Attorney General
did not address the jury in the murder case on Sat
urday last, nor did the jury bring in a verdict on
that day. We stated in our Issue of last Saturday
that all that took place on Friday, and we still stick
to il. --

coded her, and Mr.. Joseph Rayner. an old favorite

community. See programmes of a Room

\ The ~INGA-These beautiful trees, of which we
have some fine specimens in the yard of the Queens
Hospital, grow with little care, and can be trained
either in hedges or as shade trees. The trees strike
a deep tap root, and stand a drouth well. About
three years ago a number of the young trees were
planted in the grounds of Mr.. Nays residence on
Beretania street, and they now present a very hand
some appearance. 4 crop of the young trees has
sprung up under these planted on the roadside in
the Queens Hospital grounds. They ought to be
transplanted. |
REAL ESTATE SoLD.-As per previous notice, the
following property was sold at auction on Saturday
last House and lot on Kukui lane, $500, to DIR.
Stangenwald; house and lot near Emma street,
$40, to A. j. Cartwright. The various parcels of
land in and near Honolulu belonging to 2. Y. Kaeo,
and sold under foreclosure of mortgage, brought
sufficient to pay the same, without Offering lands on
Oahu and Hawaii. The lot on Maunakea street, near
King, was bought by Queen Emma, for 81 ,555. 1t is
conceded that the prices realized on Saturday, indi-
cate that real estate is by no means adrug, just now.
DIsCHARGED.-In the Police Court, on Wednesday,
Judge Montgomery discharged the complaint against
VIM. Hughes, charged with subornation of perjury.
The perjury was in a case against VIM. Hughes for
selling intoxicating liquors to natives. the barkeeper
having sworn positively that he did not sell to two
natives, who as positively swore that he did. A fine
of $50 was imposed for the selling, and the barkeep-
err was arrested for perjury, whereupon he volunta-
rily confessed that he had sworn falsely on the trial,
and declared that he had been induced to do so by
his employer. A law-abiding public asks for a deci-
sion in the late hula case.
REFREsHING.-One of the best and most successful
negro minstrel Jokes in our recollection, is connected
with the departure of Frank Medina for Australia,
by the Nebraska. the other day. Frank, it seems,
told some of his friends that he was going, and out
of pure solicitude for his welfare of course, they
stopped his passport. And while the steamer was
pOin0 ont of the harhOr- she was thoroughly searched
for stowaways, but Frank was not found. Some of
the shore folks, who were drinking champagne toasts
in the saloon, declared that they could find him, and
bidding the colored waiter in attendance to bring a
lantern, proceeded to search again, but with no
better success than before, and it was given up,
with the conclusion that the fellow was not on board
after all. The ship proceeded on, but Frank uds
there all the time, for he was the very darkey who
silently waited on the champagne drinkers, and
heard their remarks about himself, and then held
the lantern while they hunted for him. How he
must have been ready to burst with suppressed
laughter -
ANOTHER TRAGEDY.-Last Saturday evening, be-
tween the hours of six and seven O'Clock, whisky
claimed another victim-the third within less than
two months. in this immediate neighbOrhood. a.
NJ. Kahalewai.-a well-known native, who was at
one time Circuit Judge for Maui, and who recently
completed a term of penal servitude on a convic-
ton for peri ury,-being in a state of partial intox-
ication, assaulted and maltreated his wife, Kaaia-
kawaha. from the effects of which she died in a few
minutes. kahalewai was at first arrested on a
charge of malicious mischief. brought by the owner
of the house in which he lived, and with whom be
had some angry words. tor breaking furniture. but
the charge was subsequently changed to the grave.
one of murder. The preliminary examination was
held before the Police Magistrate on Monday morn
ing. when the prisoner was committed for trial at
the present term of the Supreme Court By the
testimony of Antoine Manuel. the principal witness.
ian intelligent half-white printer. employed in this
Office it appears that Kahalewai, enraged at Mrs.
Writ for reproving him on account of his drinking
liquor. vented his spite upon his unfortunate wife,
who has for some time past been an invalid. He
seized her by the neck, as she was sitting on the
mats. and jammed her down on TO the floor he
then threw 4 heavy writing desk upon her. striking
the back of her neck then catching her by one
leg. he dragged her across the floor into another
room. at the door of which there was a step, four
or five inches high. The witness then ran out and
