MARINE COURT JURISDICTION.

An appeal. involving the jurisdiction of the Marine
Court and the right of that Court to continue an
action against the executor Of deceased party
on for argument yesterday at the General Term Of
the Supreme Court. before Judges Davis. Brady and
Ingalls, 1t appears that Robert Bell aud others sued
Mrs. Hasard in the Marine Court in 1874. The case
dict for tho defendant. The plaintiff appealed to the
General Term Of tho Marine Court, and the judg-
mcnt was reversed and new trial ordered. At the
time of tho argument of the last appeal Mrs. Hasard
tho defendant living. but between the time Of
the argument and tho announcement of tho decision
of reversal she died. The order OF reversal
was on March &c, 1873, revived and continued by
order against q. G. Ean, executor Of the estate OF
dcccased The executor then applied to the Supreme
Court Tor writ OF to restrain the Marine
Court from taking further cognizance or cxercsipg
further jurisdiction in the action on account of the
death OF Mrs. Haeard. The writ was granted at
Special Term. and from the order granting it the ap-
peal takcn II contended Tor tho applicants
among other points, that the as prcscntcd to
Judge McAcam, IN the Marine Court was proper
ono for revival and that the Court had power to con-
tnue tho action and that II by any strained consruc-
tion of the Code the power to continue actions in
that court was taken away such taking away be
confined to actions commenced after the new Code
went into effect, and not TO actions like the
one commenced long before its adoption; and FUR
thcr instead of breaking up by prohibition the
established practice Of Court OF Record for thirty
years. the relator Egan should be turned the
more orderly and ordinary remedy by appeal in tho
Marine Court.
The respondent urged that the Court had not the
power to continue the action against the EXECUTOR
and that the writ of prohibition was properly
granted. The Court took the papers and reserved
person. and ex-Judgo Clark and Edward Jacobs for
the Marine Court.

EMILY GRAHAM.

DE. BOWEN DEsCRIBEs THE woMANs TREAT
MENT ON BLACKwEIL's IsIAND-CHARGEs
AGAINST THE ASYLUM DENIED.
Dr. James NJ. Duncan, OF No. 102 Columbia street,
officially informed Sanitary Superintendent Day, on
Thursday afternoon, OF the death Of Emily Graham.
DISCHARGED patient of the insane asylum Black
wells Island. The Doctor further reported that
when called to attend deceased he found her ex-
tremely emaciated. her person filthy and her body
cred with The Doctor concluded his report the
by saying that her relatives say she beaten
starved and otherwise abused by the officials
nected with the asylum" The case promptly
referred to the Coroners' Office and Dr. Coldschmiedt
proceeded to examine the remains. He discovered
that DIR. Duncaus description OF the condition of the
body was by no exaggerated. Her body was
one mass of sores. These accounted for by the
prolonged prostration on sick bed. Nothing further
was done in the case until yesterday, when post
mortem examination revealed that death was due to
inanition and chronic meningitis, these diseases
being the result OF natural causes.
THE oTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Subsequently Dr. John Bowen, assistant medical
superintendent of the lunatic asylum on Black
wells Island. was examined. He deposed that de-
ceased admitted the asylum about the 18th of
October. 1873. suffering from symptoms of general
paralysis. She transferred from the reception
hall to pavilion for sanitary considerations. She
rational. was delirious occasionally. aud
also at intervals suffered from an epieptic form OF
pounds, but soon afterward began to lose
flesh. and continued to do up to the
time of her discharge. She was able to walk. but
most of the time unsteady on her feet. She re-
ceved good food and care from the beginning. Her
remedial treatment such as the case demanded.
She continued in this condition until she
moved from the asylum by her husband. She was
readmitted November IA. and again on the 18th of
December. At the latter date she was very much
worse. physically well as mentally; was also
emaciatcd and irrational. From that time on her
condition grew steadily worse and at intervals it Wis
necessary to restrain her by tying hor on chair or
by coniining her in strait-jackct At the same
time sores began to form her body and all
efforts to sustain or stimulate her failed. When her
condition became very low and the sores on her
body very troublesome she was removed to the hos
pital ward and her friends notified of her ap-
preaching death. On the 22d of March Mr.. Graham
went to the asylum and requested her discharge.
She was discharged on Monday, March "a Her
was hopeless from the beginning. and her friends
frequently informed OF that fact. She received
all the and attention that could be given TO her
while in the asylum.
An inquest will be held in the case next Monday.

A New Bank.

We clip the following article from that ex-
cellent paper, the San Francisco Merchant, of
the 9th June last, every word of which we
endorse. 1t is an undeniable fact that we
need more banking capital for the wants of
our business community than we have at
present, and we are surprised that such an
opportunity as is presented for the profitable
employment of at least one million more of
banking capital, is suffered to pass the notice
of business men. There is business enough
for two banking institutions in Honolulu, and
if we had million of additional capital, it
could be pro6tably employed and money made
out OF 1t, in strictly legitimate line of bank
ing. Tie establishment of another bank in
Honolulu would be an event that would give
new impetus to business, and the result
would soon demonstrate that there is ample
business for two good, well regulated and
properly conducted banking institutions.
The excellent banking house of Messrs
Bishop q Co, now here, and which has been
the parent concern on these Islands, is we'll
and unexcep'ionably managed, and with
which, we have not the slightest fault to find
Its managers strive to afford all the accommo-
dation in their power to our business men /;
but as there is limit to their capital, like any
other institution, they cannot afford all the
monetary facilities the business wants re-
quire. 1t is for this reason we feel wsrranted
IN endorsing the remarks of the San Francisco
Merchant on the necessity of establishing an
other bank in this city.
If competition is the life of trade" as we
believe it is, we feel certain that the estab-
lishment of an additional bank in Honolulu
would be the means of increasing the resour-
ces of this Kingdom to an extent scarcely
conceivable by those unacquainted with the
resources of these beautiful and fertile Islands.
We lack but two aids 10 make Hawaii nei the
most prosperous little Kingdom in the world,
namely: more capital, and more cheap labor,
and there is no reason why we should not
have both with the proper exertions of our live
business men:
there is in the world better opening for the es-
tablishment Of good joint stock bank than in Homo
