The great crowds in New Orleans, at
the exposition, literally contributed to
the audience present at the 177th Grand

OF $685., 800 was fairly placed by the hand
of fortune where it probably will do the
most good. AS sample bricks how the

SUPREME COURT--JAN UARY
TERM, 1885.
Chier Justice Judd presiding

FRIDAY, Jan. &c, 1885.
Ths Court was occupied this morning with
the case Of lawyer Il. n Kaluhas charged
with malpractice. This case was continued
from IL 10th instant, and was argued and
submitted.
| At o'clock PM, Mr.. Bridges, who had
been found guilty tie evening before of
granddaughter in the second degree, was
brought into Court for sentenoe.
Mr.. Castle. his counsel, briefly discussed
| the procedure in regard to his exceptions,
and then asked the Court to extend mercy
to the prisoner. Tho case had shown ex-
! tenuatinS circumstances. The facts accrued
showed he was very excited, and this ought
tc be considered. It was also the prisoners
! first appearances on any charge. he would
ask the Court to impose the lowest sentence.
viz, five years at hard labor, which he
thought would meet every requirement Of
the law.
The Attorney General said, the Govern
ment has done its duty for the act TIE
prisoner has done. He would ask the Court
to temper the punishment to this man as
the gravity of the crime permits. The
prisoner had had a fair trial OF the ex-
tenuating circumstances he would ask the
Court to take notice. He thought the end
of justice would be served if the prisoner
was sentenced to five years imprisonment
at hard labor.
The Chief Justice addressed the prisoner
subs tan TALLY as follows The jury have
convicted you of manslaughter in the second
degree. In my view the evidence adduced
sustains that verdict. This is not the
highest degree of manslaughter by any
means, but facts adduced in evidence tended
to reduce the charge to the second degree.
The moral effect of the word guilty is
very great, aud the ends Of justice are, to
large extent, subseTved when IL Is pro-
nOunced. The circumstances of your posi-
ton arise almost exclusively from your
having been imprudent enough to have put
on your person a deadly weapon-one pecu-
liarly deadly self-cocking pistol. 1t was
tho fact that you had deadly weapon, that
your impulse at that moment caused you to
use, which brought you into trouble. No
PREPARATION can possibly be made for the
effect of your act. 1 had not thought until
the Attorney General had addressed me of
giving you the minimum penalty. Eut as
the Attorney General joins with your counsel
il behalf of clemency I shall not set up my
opinion against theirs. Considering your
circumstances, and in view of your former
life, temper justice with mercy, and SEN
tcnce you to five years imprisonment at
hard labor.
The prisoner was then taken away by

who listened to the conduct Of the Bridges
case, comments upon the present tbarbar-

as follows;
have been sitting in large, handsomely
furnished COURTROOM, listening to the pro-
ceedings in the first case of manslaughter in
Honolulu, where both parties were foreign
ers, and the pistol was used.
have seen jury of foreigners selected
in thirty-five minutes, where, in the States,
il would have taken at least two days.
have listened to the lawyers, and found,
to rny astonishment, that they were intent
upon arriving at the truth in the case, in
stead of wrangling with each other, or try
ing to excite laughter, or win the applause
uf the audience.
And lastly, l have found the Courtroom
admirably ventilated and comfortable in
every respect,

The Bridges Case.


For the following renort OF tho speeches
made by Mr.. Castle for the defense, and
Attorney General Neumann for the Crown,
in the Bridges case, we are indebted to our
afternoon contemporary, the Bulletin.
Mr.. Castle then rose. and after thanking
the jury for their attention and patience,
he said, the taking of human life il grave
matter, Nothing is heid more sacred by
law than human life. It is an easy thing
to pass Judgment on an affair OF the nature
we have heard. / ask you, gentlemen, to
pass your sentence with elaboration. The
charge is manslaughter IN the first degree.
There are several degrees. The jury has to
determine the degree. The plea as you have
heard it is one of self-defense. Bridges took
the stand aud roview we'd Ills life in Honolulu.
His quick marriage after arriving here was
one OF convenience. He is O young man
with a soft heart, aud perhaps soft head.
On the stand lie showed he had not much
strength of character. His marriage vas a
hasty and rash one. His wife's correspond
ence with Patten after her marriage was
what no honorable woman would be guilty
of. Why did she marry Bridges? 1t was
eventually to begin to lead respectable
life. From the letter read. I believe Patten
had a strong feeling for Mrs. Bridges, bps
he had no right to any sueh feeling, for he
was married man. and lac grossly violated
his marriage VOWS. One passage in it makes
me believe he never intended to marry Lois
. Horn. You must have concluded from
Bridges answers that he is a simple, upof-
fensive young man. If no had been clear
headed he would not have called upon you
in this case. You are not called upon to
judge OF an upright man, but weak one.
The question is whether Bridges had suf-
ficient cause to fear Patten and put himself
on self-defense His arming himself with a
pis col was for self-defense. While walking up
the street he was suddenly attacked, and
turning round beheld the man who had
threatened to kill him, Confused as lie Was,
he fred, and believes he fred again. Which
shot killed Rattep is important. Fhe evil
| deace is clear beyond reasonable doubt that
the first one did. ! trust yeu will not give
a hurried decision, and that you will give
tina prisoner the benefit of all doubt. / ask
/ that justice be done though the heavens
/ fall
Attorney General Neumanu next spoke on
/ behalf of the Crown. After thanking the
! jery, he said that whateveE your verdict
VIII be- We will be satisfied. There is only
one question before you. Had Bridges any
Q Cause to fear that Patten would kill him as
/ he said he would? 1t is a dangerous thing
/ for man to make threats. Il is safer to
attack brave man than o ooward. This
Gesn who is dead was guilty of an indiscre.
tiap. he was married man, father, and
/ got into an intimacy with young girl. This
whole Horn family knew it. Mr.. Horn
borrowed money when he knew of the in
! timsoy. Patten made a will in favor o.
this woman. This young man turning t
Bridgesl has got murder on his conscience
1t looks to me that the family lived on
Patten at the expense Of the prostitution Of
