The Fire Department.

Thursday evening the monthly
meeting of the Fire Department was
held, with an attendance of forty MEM
bers. First Assistant Engineer Hus-
tace presided, and Secretary Henry
Smith was con the brakes as usual.
After routine business was des-
patched, the result of the poll taken,
recently, on the amendment to Article
q ofAthe Constitution, was announced
as having been the defeat of the mea-
sure.
A letter from Chief Engineer VIII
son, now on Molokai island, was read
and acted upon. 1t reminded the
Board of the coming election, with the
duties of preparing therefor, and ac-
cordingly Mr. Smith, Secretary, was
appointed presiding officer of tile poll.
with Messrs. Henry Kaia and Iau
Chong as tellers.
A motion for the appointment of a
credential committee of three. to
supervise the list Of membership from
each company, was lost. There was a
discussion upon the limitation of
voting members to fifty for each com
pany, the preponderance Of opinion
being seemingly in favor of that pro-
vision. 1t appeared probable that the
resolution of July II, 1887, in that re-
gard, would govern the coming cleo
ton.

In The MATTER OF VICTORIA For

An Appeal from decision Of Bick-
ertOR, j,
BEFORE JUDD, c. j., M'CULLY, PRESTON BICK-
ERToN AND DOLE ]. j.,
OPINION of the court By PRESTON J..

This is an appeal by Pedro Fer
nandez against a decision of His
Honor, Mr.. Justice Bickerton, sit
ting i'll Chambers, declaring a mar
rage between the appellant and one
Victoria FORBADE null and void on
the ground that the alleged wife
was under the age of fourteen years
at the time of the alleged marriage.
The action was commenced by a
petition filed by Antoine Moniz For
tado, the father of Victoria, against
the appellant who was served with
the petition and summons.
The defendant demurred to the
petition ON the ground that he alone
was made a party defendant thereto,
and claiming that Victoria, the al
legged wife was a necessary party.
The demurrer was argued before
the Chief Justice and overruled and
the defendant appealed
The appeal was heard at the last
January Term and was allowed, the
majority of the Court holding that
"suits of this nature should be
brought in the name of the minor
by the parent or guardian and that
this suit should have been brought
in the name of Victoria FORBADE by
her father Antoine Moniz FORBADE,
or in his own name, making the
minor a party defendant"
The plaintiff had leave to amend
and on the Sth day of February he
filed paper stating that he "amends
his original petition herein as fol
lows" and states what the amend
ments are, but did not alter the
original petition or file an amended
one
A summons was issued and served
upon ''Victoria FORBADE" on the Sth
February, requiring her to appear
before Mr.. Justice Bickerton on the
10th February "to answer the an
nexed petition of Antoine NJ. For
tado."
There was annexed to the sum
mons the amendments to the petit.
ton only. The original petition
was not annexed.
The plaintiff did not obtain an
order for the appointment of a guar
dian dd Item for the minor defend.
ant, nor an order for substituted
service.
Both defendants answered by
counsel and the hearing took place
on the 10Th of February and the 18th
