Court resumed at 1 D. m.


firm of G.. w. Macfarlane & Co. as
Managing Clerk. / was there dur
ing the time the liquors in question
were sold. The first | knew of it,
was the delivery of the liquors.
They were ordered by Hayselden
and the King, also Kapena, Kcau
and Lilikalani. 1 think they were
the principal ones ordering. About
two-thirds of the amount was order
ed by the King in person, and by
written orders.
The Crown objected to the evil
dence as to the written orders of the
King unless the orders were pro-
duced.
The Court allowed the evidence.
L had conversation with the King
in regard to this matter. l saw the
delivery of these goods being made,
and received orders personally from
the King. The goods were sent all
over the islands. Some of the
goods went to luaus before and after
the elections. After the delivery
was made, had conversation with
the King at the palace, and he said
he wanted a separate account of
this, and Mr.. Hayselden would go
over it and see if it was correct.
The account was consequently kept
in the back of the blotter. / had
instructions from the King to deliver
to certain parties. l objected to
Lilikalani as he was invariably
drunk. l went to see the King
about it, and he said he would
let Mr.. Keau take his place.
There were two accounts against the
King, a merchandise account and a
wine and spirit account. The spirit
account of the King is settled by
cash, notes, and orders on the Gus
tom House. This account was the
Kings debt, 1t was so considered by
me and was assumed by him.
BY the Court: You mean the ac-
count of the liquors sent over the
islands! Yes, sir.
The King owed another account
for liquors. The King has not set
tied all his Indebtedness. He settled
part by cash, notes, and Custom
House orders for the remission of
duties. AT stated times we would
make up the Kings account and the
duties on liquors purchased by him
were computed, and Custom House
nrInr. for fhn ,,F l,,t, IL
be given. The balance of the ac-
count was settled by cash and notes.
AT the last settlement with his Ma
jesty, this Hayselden account was
included. During the year 1886 my
brother, the defendant, had very
little share in the conduct of the
business. There are two depart
ments of the business. My brother
Henry attended to the domestic part
and George attended to the foreign.
My brother Henry did the whole
business in connection with these
liquors. My brother George received
no orders at that time. My brother
Henry made the settlement. NV
brother George was on his way to
England when settlement was
made. He made one trip to San
Francisco before the legislature ad-
journed, and after the passage of
the loan bill he went away again.
His time was devoted almost eXclu-
sively to the loan BILL / heard nv
brother and Hayselden have some
words at the Hotel. Mr.. Hayselden
said he hoped there was no i'll feel
ing between them. My brother said,
"No; you fought very hard to de-
feat the loan bill, but you did not
succeed. l have no ill feelings
against YOU" This was between
September and October. Macfarlane
& Co. received some goods on these
orders. The goods that we did moi
have, they would supply, one brant
in particular. Palm tree gin. They
had the exclusive right to sell.
Cross-examined by the Attorney
General: l testified that my byothe
Henry had general charge of thi:
branch of the business. | saw th,
entries In the books, and go to botl
stores every day. did not stat
exactly what goods Hayselden ord
cred himself. / should say abou
$1,000 or $1,000. l should sa,
that Hayselden ordered about one
third. The King ordered the mos
of the goods himself. did not max
any claim that this was ordered by tin
King, at the preliminary trial.
