promptly. and soon after the patient rallied
and asked for something to eat He was
given some broth Of which he took very
little. At 10 clock he was very low and

hand while his old friend, Douglass 1ny-
lor, held the other. He had been conscious

HAWAIIAN LAW.
A Digest Being Brought Out by Col.
Thompson

Digest Being Brought Out by Col.
Thompson
It is learned that NJ. Thompson, at
torney at law, Honolulu, is preparing an
index-digest to the decisions of the
Supreme Court OF the Hawaiian Islands.
The work will be in the alphabetical
order OF the points Of law decided in the
reports, and will contain cross refer
ences, so that every point OF law decided
by the Court may be readily seen under
its appropriate head, with reference to
the name OF the case, volume and page,
etc. Col. Thompson's well-known legal
abilities and experience in such work
afford sufficient guarantee that the work
will be accurately and well done; aud if
so, it can but be q desideratum to the
bench and bar.
1t viii be a saving of time to judges
and lawyers by directing them to the
points Of law decided by the Court, and
to the case, book, and page where the
case appears in extenso. 1t will be yalu-
able TO laymen, who may at small ex
pense acquire knowledge OF the pith
and marrow of the law of Hawaii as ex
pounded by the Courts,
Doubtless many copies of the work
could be sold beyond the limits of Ha-
wall, as many important and interesting
questions of local, maritime, and inter-
national law have been raised and de-
cided in the Hawaiian courts. that were
probably never raised or decided in any
other country. 1t is understood that
some of the ancient laws, usages, Gus
toms, habits, traditions, legends, super
stitioDs, idolatries and domestic econ
omies, etc., of the Hawaiians were
necessarily considered, by the courts, in
the adjudications of the rights of per
sons and properties.

by somebody in the crowd on the wharf.

lump Of coal, hurled it regardIessly
at the throng. The missile took ef-
feet on the forehead OF a native
woman named Ana Baranaba, infiicting
considerable OF a wound Both women
were taken to the Station. Captain Lar
sen, coming in while the arrival of the
doctor was awaited, gave the patient all
the treatment necessary, washing the
wound and mending it with sticking
plaster. The assailant with smile
walked down the gangway.

As usual and in keeping with weather
in Hamakua on holiday, the oath was
bright and fine till about noon when we
were surprised by strong north storm.
The fog lowered On the coast so thick

to be mantling smoke from some cane
field. Houses and stores facing north
ward were closed on account of the rain.
which lasted in earnest all day from noon
till midnight. 0ur serenaders for Christ
mas morn were prepared, but the ele-
ments delayed their endeayors to give
us an idea of coming holiday.
The morn of the 25th dawned with
gloomy rain-laden horizon, but as day
advanced it cleared away to the south
ward and allowed our lovers of the gun
to participate in the long looked-for rife
match. As the Honokaa rifle team at
some future period may become promin-
ent, give you the score. The first
match, shots each for prizes at Mills,
stood as follows:
