Judge Preston remarked that the
affairs and management of corpora
tions in the kingdom are being
carried on very loosely and without

A COUNTERFEIT Hawaiian dollar
was received at the Post-oilice the
other day, and, when its character
was ascertained, given back to the
person that passed it, who did not
know it was spurious. The coin is
a very exact imitation of the genuine,
and liable to deceive anybody but
an expert. Probably more of its
kind are in circulation.
A PARTY of eight or ten persons,
all mounted on horseback, started
from the Hotel Saturday evening for
shark hunt at Pearl River. They
returned last evening and reported
killing IL maneaters measuring from
10 to IL feet long. Another version
is that six were hooked and landed,
but the seventh carried away all the
hooks and lines. They were q
merry party who left here Saturday
night armed to the teeth with pocket
comforters, but sorry one that re-
turned last night.
In Supreme Court Chambers this
morning two japanese laborcrs were
presented by the Marshal, under
writ of habeas corpus. Justice Nc
Gully, after hearing the parties,
ordered that they be discharged
from custody, on the ground that
the warrants of commitment issued
by the District Judge of Hama,
Maui, under which the petitioners
are held, were excessive and illegal.
The first offense, for refusing duty
under labor contracts, with which
these japanese stood charged, is
punishable by imprisonment only
and not by both Imprisonment and
fine. In this instance the District
Judge had imposed both imprison-
ment and fine.
AT King Bros art store is dis
played a variety of specimens of art
needlework, wrought by Mrs. DIR.
McAllister. There are mantel and
table covers in different material,
including plush; banners, dress
fronts, whisk holders and other
fancy articles. There are several
floral and fruit designs, that are ex-
quisite in the brilliant and harmo-
NOUS arrangement of colors, and
fidelity to nature. Rosebuds, pansies,
Scotch thistles, horse-chestnuts,
grapes, and so on, are executed in
delightsome art and taste. The eX-
hibition is worth seeing, and should
be promotive of fresh interest in
this artistic and useful pastime.
Mrs. McAllister gives lessons in the
art at her rooms on Hotel, corner of
Fort street, and has at present
vacancies for few pupils.
