THE KINGS CHAMBERLAIN.-Qn Thursday last,

DEATH OF JUDGE LILIKALANI.-This well-known
and highly esteemed Hawaiian gentleman died some
what suddenly in this city on Thursday last. He
had accompanied the Royal Party on the recent tour
to Hawaii and Maui, being in usual health until
Monday last at Lahaina, when he complained of head
ache and pain in the breast. His disease is pro-
nounced to have been congestion Of the lungs. Mr..
Lilikalani occupied the post Of District Justice at
Koloa, Kauai, and he had in former years sat as a
Representative from that Island. We learn that
His Majesty had contemplated giving him the ap-
pointment of Governor Of Kauai. He was about so
years of age. -
Ns- Items of local ne1os, appearing in the Gov
eminent Gazette, when recorded by the present
Director, or by his "%itemizer," must be read with
much allowance, as regards place, time, or circum-
stance A correct record of events at home does
not appear to be of much Z" Importance" to the
Gazette man, which accounts for the incorrectness
of many of the local items in that paper. For
instance, tae " Oahu Evangelical Association F." did
not hold a regular meeting TO dismiss Mr.. G. W.
Pilipo from the pastorate of Kaumakapili Church,
nor did Mr.. Robert Thurston " battle in the sea at
Kaneohe, Oahu - nor did the Gazette man see ga
cartoon got up a few days since by Jack Rees y
nor was it the Benecid that was literally covered
with lights and lanterns +" on Tuesday night last,
but the CeUlOn; and SO on, we might proceed to
enumerate a few more of the errors of our cotem-
porary. that are of some Importance TO a reading
public which requires facts.
SUPREME CoURr.-During Thursday and a part of
yGEltIGdlg Su4NL hStAS AAASh o4G %ASGONAoSO ~ 4SLANS |
Harris occupied the bench and the case Of the con-
tested will of His late Majesty Lunalilo came up on
appeal for trial by q native jury. The verdict,
rendered yesterday forenoon, confirmed the will and
codicil, with the exception of the fourth clause of the
latter, which provides for the maintenance of the
proposed asylum out Of the avails of the estate
beyond the sum of S25, 900. 1t is a question as to
whether the rejection of that clause will benefit the
contestant. One case was tried yesterday by a for
eign jury-that of E. o. Hall, Minister Of the Int
rior, VS.. Geo. C. Siders and Geo. Wetherbee, for the
forfeiture of Bond of retail spirit license. Verdict
was rendered for the plaintiff, and exceptions noted.
In two cases of The King VS.. VIM. Hughes, for SELL
ing spirits to natives, the appeals were withdrawn.
AT 8 P. NJ. yesterday, the Court was adjourned until
Monday next at 10 A. NJ.
