Chaplain. Reading of minutes by Secretary.
Among the petitions was one presented
BY Hon, Mr.. Aiwohi, from residents of the
district of Kohala, that the present Government
physician for that district be discharged and that

ferred to the Board of Health. He thought il
all nonsense to desire the House to discharge
physicians against whom no malpractice or any

had the appointing power and consequently the
power to discharge. He moved that the petition
be referred to the Board of Health. Carried.
