The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1881-11-19

Murray and II. w: Almy, in four-oared gigs. A
hitch occurred which leaves the relative merits
of the crews still an unsettled point.
- A special term of the Supreme Court, fol
the purpose of hearing the adjourned Banco cases
will be commenced on Monday morning next.
The arrear of business to be thus disposed of Is
not great, as will be seen by the calendar pub
lished elsewhere in this issue.
la We have seen a nickel medal, issued in
Philadelphia, giving a portrait on one side OF
His Majesty the King, with the inscription King
of the andwich Islands, 1881 and on the OBJ
verse the Hawaiian crown surmounting a ring,
on which is inscribed the national motto, 'Ua
mau Ike ca o ka alma i ka pono."
e The celebration of His Majesty's birth
day, on which occasion all the liquor saloons
in the city were open, only resulted in seven
charges of drunkenness for the investigation of
His Honor, Judge Bickerton. This is not above
the average for the year of cases resulting from
drinking ON Sundays, when all saloons are
rigidly closed.
gY@ On his birthday, His Majesty granted the
following pardons and combinations of senten-
css Kawiki, restored to his civil rights Kawa-
hsokaale, w. J. NOa, John NJ. Kaneakua, and J.
b. Silloway, pardoned r. r. Lavender, sentence
on four years imprisonment, eommuted to two
years NJ. Mendoza, sentence of imprisonment
for life, committed to ten years.
1- 1t will be interesting to the public to

TT The Privy Council was called together on
Tuesday last, and the widest rumors Immediate
~ spread about the town as to the business to be
laid before it. The real object of the meeting
was to consider certain pardons, and the short
ening of the sentences recorded against Laven-
der and Mendoza. Article27 of the Constitution
hedges round the Kings prerogative of mercy in
this fashion.

- Another case of assault with Il deadly
weapon by a Chinese occupied the attention of
the Deputy Police Justice on Wednesday of last
week. 1ne cuiprlt, An hin, was found guilty,
and sentenced to a fine of $40, and five days
Imprisonment. He appealed to the Supreme
Court, where he will probably get a more severe
sentence. 1t has come out since the trial that
this is at least the second time All Hin has
been guilty of this class of offence. The dispute
in which the assault originated was about a
supply of water.
~ The William G.. Irwin, - the beautiful
new barkentine of the Spreckels line of vessels,
has receutIv made the fastest Saline time on
record, between the port of San Francisco and
any port of the Hawaiian Islands. Her actual
sailing time from the Golden Gate, or say, from
the pilot ground off the heads. to the roadstead
of Kahului, was 8 days and II hours She left
the port of departure with n full cargo, valued
at S3l 594. Our fellow townsman of the firm
of Wm. G.. Irwin & Co. may well be proud of
this beautiful marine namesake, that flies DER
the ocean with her broad sails, with the power |
and velocity of steam.
RH~ One of the most pleasing events to con-
clude the Kings natal-day, was the joining. in
wedlock of Mr.. c. J. Fishel and Miss H. Garten-
bnrg. The bridegroom is one of our rising
young merchants, who has made many friends
during his s%ojOurn on the Islands. The. bride,
who came here n short time ago, on a visit to a
relative, has, during her short stay here, en-
deared herself to many newly-formed acquain-
tances. The wedding ceremony took place at
the residence of MIR. and Mrs. }. Lyman, who
did the honOrs for the occasion, and right roy
ally were their guests entertained. The house
was handsomely festOoned and illuminated with
Chinese lanterns. After the ceremony, the guests
were invited to q sumptuous repast. A bountiful
supply of champagne soon loosened the tongues,
and then came the feast of reason. Toast after
toast was offered and heartily responded to.
The wedding was strictly n private one, and
carried ont under the Jewish rites, according to
the laws of Moses, and those of this Kingdom.
Among those present were the following ladies
and gentlemen Mr.. and Mrs. j. Hyman, Mr..
and Mrs. VI. Hyman, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Louisson,
Miss B.. Louisson, Mr.. and Mrs. \. Mellis, Miss
H. Mellis, Messrs. A. Gartenburg, NJ. Green, =.
Ehrlich, 3. Ordenstein, +. R.. Mellis, l. Ruben
stein, S. Lederer. With many good wishes and
alohas, the young couple started out on their
new voyage of life.
