opinion that the Minister of Interior
should issue the patent. Adopted.
He also presented the following re-
port on the forestry bill:-
To THE Hon. j. S. WALKER, Pres
ident Legislative Assembly. SIR:
The Judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred the bill to create a
Bureau of Forestry and provide for
its Management, beg leave to report
that they have had the same under
consideration, and Recommend that
the bill be laid on the table for the
reason that no preparation or in
formation concerning the proposed
bureau has been made, and that if
said bill pass the same would be in
operative and not acted on before
the session of the next Legislature,
and that in the meantime the Minis
ter of the Interior can collect facts
and information, and be in condi-
ton to present a proper or more
feasible plan and estimate of ex-
penses for equipping and running
the proposed bureau, at the next
session of the Legislature; another
reason for laying same on the table
is that the outlay will undoubtedly
be large and at the present state of
finances of the kingdom, retrench-
ment in all branches and bureaus of
the Government should when practic-
able be the order of the day.

On motion of Noble Cleghorn, the
report was adopted.
Rep. Brown also presented re-
port of the same committee on a
petition from the district of Hama,
praying that two polling places be
allowed in that district, one in Hama
and the other at Kipahulu. They
report that under the existing law
the Minister of the Interior has the
power to order the election to be
held as prayed for, and upon repre-
sentation or petition to him before

grant the prayer of the petition.
They therefore recommend that the
petition be laid on the table.
