Police Report

During the last two weeks there were nine DRINKS,
which taking into consideration the three days Chi
nese New Years celebration. speaks well for the
balance, Of bad gin still On hand and the goodly
array Of DRINKS and fines still in allegiance. Four
arrests were made for fast riding, the fnes for which
we're $1,000 and costs. KauhinAhinA (k.) was ar
rested for malicious injury on complaint Of Captain
Crane. X. had seriously felt the Inconvenience OF
loading coal for the Lahaina plantation in large
bags. The coal appeared TO be harder than his
shoulders. and the filed bags were too heavy to
make the exercise of loading pleasant, therefore fol-
lowing q very natural course Of reasoning, NO bags,
no coal in bags, X. pitched some 200 empty bags
overheard on the return trip Of the .Nftiis, but the
reasoning being considered not admissible by His
Honor he was fined $500 or one months hard
labor.
Luis, q Chinese without o tail and an ever smiling
happy face, had been arrested with q key Of nails on
his shoulders. He Indignantly denied having stolen
the nails, but cheerfully admitted that he had taken
them from Levers s. DicksOn's lumber yard for his
private use, as be intends some day to build q house
for himself at Waialua, the place to which he intend
ed to travel With the key Of nails on his back. He
is the same individual who some time ago stole two
heavy Jumps of coal, carried them sluDg over his
shoulders all around the island OF Oahu and brought
them safe back to Honolulu. A harmless lunAtic, he
was sent for one month to the prison to keep him
out Of harm. Hoopii, arrested for stealing $4,000
in cash from MAikai, plead guilty amer q few days
lodging in the cell. Some Of the money was recov-
cred buried on Punchbowl hill, but as the case is
not ended we shall refer to il in our next.
Ali, q Celestial, was arrested and tried for mali
cious injury on complaint Of ]. 1. Dowsett, Esq. Ali
said that he had driven out Of an unfenced field, be-
longing to another individual of the Celestial breed,
an OK with immense horns, several times. when the
OK with the big horns made for him and he defended
himself with q plantation hoe. The truth however
was not ia Ali, and the OK with immense horns was
in reality an old gentle muley mich COW without the
least sign of q horn, the only horns that Ali might
have seen being perhaps his own tail swinging in his
excitemen4 around his head, and the self defence
consisted In buryiug . heavy and sharp plantation
hoe. to which the hair still adhered, three times into
the poor beast below the hip. Ali was to our great
regret sentenced TO only two months imprisonment.
We regret that His Honor did not call il six months,
and we most earnestly hope that in every case of
wanton cruelty to poor beasts the Court will insist
on the full extent OF the law. Kaikona (w.) had
been arrested for deserving her Celestial husband,
and returned with him hand in hand. This DESERT
ing Celestial husbands by native women is becoming
q very frequent offence, and we begin TO entertain
the opinion that there is something not sufficiently
distinct in the marriage service. We would most
disinterestedly advise that the words and cling 10
your husband be changed into the words "and
cling to your husbands tall, as something mona
distinct, specific and easily to be understood by the
native mind. as the Celestial husbands as q general
ity are rather lean and slippery, wearing clothes
much too wide for q woman to cling to under provo
cations to slide.
Sam Kunikahi, gross cheat, sent to Supreme
Court. Along, Celestial. fined $500 and costs for
liquor to natives. Aloi, AhOi, Afoi,
Ayong or Allrong, Avail or Awry were arrested for
ARRAY and two of the party were fned $1,000 each.
but the Celestial names made such q profound con-
fusion that it is doubtful if AlOi is Afoi or Ahoi or
.llWrong. Perhaps the contending parties were
dned, perhaps the Witnesses or lockers on. Hard to
