The report OF the Commission ap-
pointed in 1887 to report on the reform
of the Judiciary Department, was laid
before the House Thursday. The Com
missioners are Judge Hartwell, the Hon.
s. B. Dole and His Excellency the At
torney-General, and the report is one OF
the most important documents yet sub
mitted to the Legislature. 1t proposes a
complete reconstruction of the judicial
system Of the country. The report con-
tains the draft of bill, embodying in a
single act all the changes at present pro-
posed. We will consider the details of
the Act later.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-07-17

TUESDAY in the House was one OF
the most exciting days of the session.
Not much was done beyond the discus
sion Of the Governors Bill, which
brought out some long speeches, and
some telling ones. The result was q
more decisive victory for the Minister'S
Bill than any OF its advocates had dared
to expect. The Bill of the Committee
was laid on the table by vote of IS to
8, and the Bill abolishing the Governors
Office was passed to its third reading by
SO votes against 9. The prospect of a
majority sufficient to pass the Bill over a
royal veto while not unclouded is still
excellent. The Legislature is to be con-
graduated on good days work, and
Minister Thurston on 8 speech which
made converts and was an important
factor In winning the day.
