$362.25 should be inserted in the Appropriation
Bill IN order that the claim may be satisfied. In
regard to the sum of S26225 part OF the S36225
we think that one hundred dollars thereof, for at
torneys fee, should not have been paid out by the
Marshal as consider 1t part OF the duties of the
Attorney-General to defend all suits brought
against Government officer in his official capac-
uy. The balance of the amount is to satisfy Judg
ments recovered against the Marshal and Deputy
Sheriff OF Makawao." Tabled for consideration

"Resolred, That from and after the date hereof
this House sit every evening, Saturdays excepted,
for the disposal of such business and bills as may
be on the clerks table and the order of the day,
and that such evening sessions commence at 1880
o'clock
Representative castle moved as an amendment
that the House meet at $3.50 each day, except Sat-
urday, take a recess from u to l O'clock and sit
until pm"
The Minister of Interior said if the House met
promptly at 10 O'Clock and sat until u, and then
met at 1:30 sharp, business would be expedited.
be Endorsed the amendment offered by Rep.
Castle. The Ministers were anxious to be on
hand to time He had been present every day
during the session, had not made any attempt to
shlrk work, and would be there every night if the
Assembly so ordered. He would amend with
having the hours from $3.50 to - and from 1:30 to
s.. Accepted.
Representative Kaunamano said that he was |
not IN favor of the original resolution. but of |
Rep. Castles amendment. One of the first in |
structions to Hawaiians by Rev. Mr. Bingham |
was that the night was made for rest This |
Assembly was attempting to reverse that order |
In 1864 they used to have night sessions but three
or four members did the talking while the rest did
the sleeping. The President, the late Governor |
used to fall asleep in his chair. Prince
Bill and one or two of his companions would |
come in merry with wine, and between the Sleep
ers and the merrymakers there was considerable |
noise. Laughter. There are young men in.
the Assembly who are able to work nights, but |
old men, like himself were getting feeble and |
did not want to work nights. The members COM
ing here at night might get wet and catch cold, |
and who was going to pay the doctors bills The |
big book says: Watchman, what of the night 2"
The watchman answers The ulght is made for
the devil and his imps.' Laughter The night
was the time when deeds of darkness were COM
mitted, and they did not want anything done in
this House TO be 50 characterized. If the House
met at night there would be no end to the do
mestic troubles that would follow. Members
wives would not believe that their husbands were
at the Assembly; they would suspect them of
going to other places. Laughter and applause
Every member should cUme to the house promptly
at time.
On motion, the amendment offered by Rep.
Castle passed, and the resolution passed as
