An Act to ameL AY-Wednesday July 18th, 1880.
relating to appc I'd section 264 of the Civil Code,
throughout the X ltment of deputy sherifs
times. "A. Read first and second
Mr.. Aholo me
4sas the bill pass to engross-
ment.
Mr.. Kapanu thought it only right the LegisIa-
ture should fix the pay of deputy sheriffs, and not
the Marshal. In some districts the pay,is $35,
some $40, and others $40 per month, and an
equal amount of work to be done in each district,
therefore it was about time for this House to
take this matter into consideration.
The Attorney General said he was very sorry
the member for Kau should think there is any
difference in pay in consequence of color. Had
he been here a few weeks ago when a bill was be-
fore the House to enquire into police matters,
they would probably have had his vote in favor
of the bill. Deputy-sheriffs are satisfied or they
would complain. 1t may be because one man is
vigllant and represses crime, whereas an indolent
man allows crime to be perpetuated. and causes
more work AT Lahaina the deputy sheriff
formerly received 500 per month-now he gets
but S70-because the district is smaller. Though
ne was willing to reform the police system, he
did not think that the passage of this bill would
better matters. Perhaps the next Legislature
will devise means 10 re-organize the whole body
and put it on a better footing than at present.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the bill
was lost Bill passed to engrOSsment, to be read
a third time on Saturday next.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Further consideration Of the Act in relation to
Internal Taxes.
Commencing at section 30 the House passed all
the sections mp to and including section 60.
The House adjourned at 4:l5 p IN.
FIFTY-EIGHTH DAY-rhursday, July 18th, 1880.
ORDER OF THE DAY.

Bill, on its third reading.
Mr.. KaIua moved that the bill be read by its

poned. He spoke at great length in opposition
to the bill.
Mr.. Nawahi also opposed the bill in a speech

The bill then passed.

medicines and medical comforts for contract labor
ers and destitute people.
The House continued TO discuss section .. 1t
was finally struck out.
Section 3 was then read.

of persons who are perfectly uncIvilized IN their
habits, they do not know our ways, neither do

for, it is the duty of the Government to care for
them. Only the other day a South Sea Islander
was walking stark naked about the streets.
Mr.. Bishop proposed a slight addition to the
section. 1t was numbered section 2, and read as
follows
Section =. When illness attacks any contract
laborer occupying IA dwelling jointly with others,
the keeper of said house, on requlsltlon OF the
physician in attendance, shall cause the said sick
person 10 be removed to a separate airy and well
ventilated building, and to be carefully attended
and nursed until the illness Is cured or has run
Its course, it such sick person is willing TO be so
removed, or if the safety or comfort OF others will
be promoted by such removal.
The next was then read
Section three provides that policemen finding
sick and deserted persons on the highroads, shall
cause them to be taken before the nearest justice
and thence to the nearest dispensary, or treated
as provided for in section one.
Section 4. Any indignant sick Hawaiian, not
a contract laborer, may be sent, on recommends
ton of the resident physician, TO the Queen
hos pital at the charge of the Government.
MIR. Bishop said there would be difficulty in
carrying out the Act. To carry Il sick person
from one island TO another might be the very
worst thing that could be done. Ii seemed to
him impTacticable.
The Minister of Finance said. he could not see
how this law could be carried out.
Mr.. Rhodes said. he did not know whether the
Minister thinks it is not the duty of this Gov
eminent to look after poor people. out IL Is the
duty of all civilized Governments to do so.
The Minister of the Interior said he did not
object to the purpOrt of the bill, but he did OBJ
iect to a constable taking charge of person who
he thinks Is sick. 1t was Objectionable to give
that power to "A policeman to say to a man 8 you
are sick, | am going to take you to justice"
though the man might declare he was not sick.
He could not give his vote for that section.
MIR. Rhodes said he was surprised at the Minis
ter. One generally suppOses that policemen are
possessed with the same common sense as other
human beings. If they are not gifted with CON-
mon sense they should not be appointed. The
substance of this clause is taken from a law now
in force in FIJI, where they have South Sea ISL
anders and East Indians.
4 discussion followed on the practicability of
sending free patients, other than Hawaiians, to
the Queens Hospital.
Mr.. Kaulukou, in speaking of the doctors en-
ployed at the hospital, said he thought they were
behind the age. and that they knew nothing
about the present system of medicine.
Section l. Any violations of this Act if proved
