His Excellency the Attorney General
E ! said it looked as if the bill had been
q brought in by a special request of those
whose children had been frightened by cat
@ | tie He thought it was a good bill to kill.
He did not want to burn the brains of the
Judiciary Committee in considering such a
| bill. 1t would not be a good thing to look
at if it was laid on the table. Mr.. Keau
e had introduced the bill in good faith to re-
l. move some special abuse.
Mr.. Keau said the bill did not originate
p. with him, as he presented a petition from
the district of Moanalua, and then the bill
Ii according to the rules. Many lives hat
! been imperilled on that road, and the petit
n TONERS had a right to he heard.
His ExceIlency Mr.. Gibson thought the
~ petition and bill were deserving of some
., little consideration. In 1882, when he W a:
candidate for Legislative hOnors he had
~ occasion to address q meeting at Moanalua
q The meeting was disturbed by loud erie:
10 from the road, and on going out it wa
found to he people getting away from
large band of cattle rushing past. He
! promised TO do something to remedy the
ai matter but up to the present time had no
Y done so A former Minister OF the Int
a! rior was gored by an animal on the street
- It was a matter he thought that could be
,e amended by regulations. There is but one
J. road. and cattle must be driven: still he
, was of the opinion that it could be settled
,r in some way to the satisfaction of stock
If raisers. butchers and consumers.
Mr. Brown said it was Il difficult matter
u to regulate the requirements of consumers
al and therefore the number of stock To be
,e driven along. Notice was generally givel
81, when there was a herd of cattle coming, by
.l a man who rode on ahead. If the parent
4 insiat on letting their children remain OF
e. the road they should take the conse
,e quences.
10 Mr. Aholo thought it only right to pa!
"a some attention to the petition.
Mr.. Dole moved as an amendment tina
N after the word forbidden" be inserted tht
