Assembly-Sir: The Judiciary Committee,
TO whom was referred the bill for the re-
lief OF certain owners of property in Ma

J. K. KAUNAMANO,
J. H. S. MARTIN,
CECIL Brown.
On motion of Hon. Mr.. CleghOrn, the
report of the committee was received and
laid upon the table, to be considered with
the Appropriation bill.
A JOINT RESOLUTION APPROVED.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson reported that
His Majesty had signed and approved
Joint resolution for the further appropria-
ton of $4,000, to defray the expenses of
the Legislative session of 1886.

and it had gradually improved until now it
stood third as a source of revenue. lThe
Water Works were gradually increasing in
value, and he felt satisfied that before
long the revenue would not fall short
of $4,000 The lighting of the city
and houses was becoming matter of
importance. All knew the risk and
danger of kerosene lamps in our
houses. Every housekeeper would be de-
lighted to find that instead of filing lamps,
trimming wicks and running risk of
accidents all they would have to do would
be To strike match and at once get a
beautiful light, far in advance of anything
they had had before The need is pressing
Men of enterprise were coming forward
and pressing the Government The Gov
eminent appreciated the value of the
housekeeper having light as we'll as water.
He was of opinion that there was no need
of any additional legislation to provide the
city with electricity The Government
might have to ask the Legislature for
means TO carry it out. He thought under /
the circumstances The bill was hardly |
called for, and moved it be laid upon the |
table
The motion to lay on the table prevailed.
QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Dickey said he rose to a question OF
privilege On Friday, during the debate
on the Electric bill, he used the following
words: The appearance of the whole
thing looked like a job He asked to
that statement, as upon exam
nation he found it to be the reverse.
BILL APPROVED.
His Excellency Governor Dominis re-
ported that it had pleased His Majesty to
approve and sign a bill fixing the marriage
license at 81 in place of 25 cents, as hereto
fore.

Mr.. Dickey moved the total be inserted

The first section, title and enacting
clause were passed.
The Committee rose, and the Chairman
reported progress.
The report of the committee was
adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Brown, the bill will be
read third time on Monday
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT BILL.
Mr.. Richardson said he thought the
Ministers had some report to present on
the Electric Light bill.
His Excellencv Mr.. Gibson said he did
not understand the Ministers had to make
a report. When the bill was up the Min
listers would be prepared to speak on it.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said the House
had asked whether there was any legal
bar IN the way to prevent the Government
entering into another contract to light the
streets by electricity while there was al
ready a contract His Excellency then
traced the contracts for lighting the streets
from 1880. The last contract was entered
into with Mr.. Fishbourne on March 18th
of this year. 1t was given to the contractor
without formality of submission to the
Privy Council. He considered the con-
tract was voidable, and would not prevent
the Minister of the Interior entering into
another contract.
Mr.. Brown took issue with the Attorney
General. 1t was not necessary to submit
the contract to the Privy Council, as it was
not within its province. All that was nee
essary was reference to Cabinet Council.
Mr.. Kalua said if the contract was made
under the Appropriation bill, the Minister
had no right to make contracts beyond the
biennial period. He did not think the
contract was binding.
Mr.. Baker asked leave to withdraw the
Berger Electric Light bill.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare moved that he
be permitted to do so.
Hon. Mr.. Bush thought they had better
throw the bill out altogether.
Mr.. Thurston said that Mr.. Wunden-
berg had told him that if the Electric Light
bill was to pass he would not stand in the
way with the present contract. He (the
speaker favored the Government taking
the service, as it could be got cheaper than
from private parties.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said the mat
ter had arrived at that state when he could
speak distinctly. The supply of water'and
light are the two most important needs Of
a city, whether large or small. In the
supply of water the Government had taken
charge of it for the benefit of the people

Judge Hinton ON the Cluverius
MmFher CaaA

RICHMOND, VA, December Judge
Hinton's dissenting opinion in the
Cluverius murder case was filed this
evening. 1t contains 1000 or 5000
words and embraces general review
OF the case. The points upon which
Judge Hinton dissents from the opin-
ion OF the other members Of the
court are: First, the Court erred
in discharging Juror Larke,
who expressed views as to
what sort Of circumstsntial evidence
he would require TO convict; second,
the Court erred in admitting as evil
dence the 80 called Laura Curtis let
ter, which was an invitation to Miss
Madison to spend some time there,
aud which was proved to have
been forged by the deceased,
and was a ruse to account for
her absence during the period of lying
