The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-04-28

L
view was quite lengthy and full minutes
of the conversation were kept. The de-
! PENDANT in full presence of the Cabinet
asked me to make an inspection of his
books of the affair. He spoke about the
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner in which his
books were kept, and that inspection
! would satisfy me. An appointment was
| made with me to meet him at the Office
! of G. W. Macfarlane q Co. the next
! morning to inspect his books. | went
! there next morning shortly after nine
! o'clock. | found the defendant in a
small room upstairs with number OF
| books spread out w. Lishman, a clerk
of the house, was there. +. G. Macfar-
lane showed me up to the room and re-
turned again when [ had about closed
the inspection. l made an inspection of
the wine account of His Majesty and
| Hayselden, and was assured by him
and saw as fact that these goods (elec-
ton gin) were not charged to His Ma
iestv's account | found out, however,
that the election gin account was charged
up to Hayselden. The debt was not
entered in the ledger until April goth,
1886 l was shown the blOtter for jan
uary and February, 1886, and was re-
formed by the defendant of using the
blotter on every other day SO as to facil-
itate business. | was assured these
election gin entries were contained in
one of the blotters. l saw entries on
page ABB under date of February I'd,
1886. The election took place on the Sd.
On page 423 and the eight succeeding
pages are entries of this kind and they
are the last pages in the blotter. When
the defendant was arrested L saw the
book and verified my first examination.
The account of Hayselden in the ledger
is debeted with 81 ,749 80 on April Goth.
| On October Dist there is credited to Hay
selden in the ledger two amounts OF
! 81 800 each. am pretty certain they
are separate. | then asked to look at
the journal. On page 346 found entries
| there corresponding to the ledger, two
entries each for 81 800. The wording of
| the first entry struck me as singular. /
copied the entry. 1t was Macfarlane q
! Co. cash, F. H. Hayselden 81 800. In
explanation they said there had been a
transfer from g. W. Macfarlane & Co. to
the house of Macfarlane & Co. Follow
ing was the entry: @. w. Macfarlane
| & Co., cash F. III. Hayselden 81 800. l
said as far as the books were concerned
they were satisfactory. [ do not remem-
| Der saying anything about the criminal
ity of the affair. The remaining ST.
749 80 of that election gin account is
credited under date of September 14th,
1886. [ looked at the journal and on
page 423 [ found this entry: Sundries
to F. H. Hayselden 81 ,749 So. 1t was
followed by three sub-entries explaining
the full amount l had subsequent con-
versations with the defendant. At one
he urged upon me for kind of settle
ment | told him l was satisfied the
way the books were kept but told him [
thought there was some criminality at
tached.
Cross-examined-I do not know how l
made mistake in the date in writing
1887 instead of 1886.
G. P. Taukea, sworn, stated: am His
Majesty's chamberlain since August so,
1886. l know the defendant and also
Hayselden. | was acquainted with them
in August and September, 1886. That
is my signature on exhibit A. The sig
nature on exhibit B is the Kings. Ny
signature is also on exhibit c.. 1 can
not remember the date [ signed them.
Early in September, 1886, l had a con-
versation with Hayselden in which the
Macfarlanes' were mentioned Haysel-
den spoke to me in reference to the pur-
chase of some liquors which had been
made at @. w. Macfarlane & Co.'S
store at the request of the King, and re-
ferred to obtaining certain Custom House
orders from the King. Orders for liquor.
Hayselden said to me the object was to
obtain the liquors from the Custom
House without the payment of duties
[ supposed it was to replace goods he
had been obtaining from Macfarlane &
Co. He stated he was somewhat re-
sponsible for the liquors, or words to
that effect. l do not remember whether
he stated there was anything urgent.
At the preliminary examination | think
[ remember testifying that Hayselden
said to NE that Macfarlane was pressing
him. That testimony was true, 1 think.
do not know whether Hayselden re-
ceived any orders. I did testify that I
believed Hayselden got the orders.
Cross-examired-I cannot remember
the exact words that Hayselden said
about the order. l knew orders had !
been issued under the Kings, Mr. Judd's |
and my own order
