that is true with regard to Hamakua,
Kohala and Kona, but not otherwise.
Cases, it should be remembered, come
from all parts OF the island.
Rep. Rickard-I have very little to
say. | endorse fully the remarks OF the
member from Hamakua Noble j. Nj.
Horner). l support the motion to in
definitely postpone.
Noble Burchardt agreed with the last
speaker if the steam service remained as
at present; but it might be improved
and he should support the bill. You can
ride to Waimea, no doubt, ii you have a
horse, but great many of the witnesses
have not. The Japanese generally walk
carrying their baggage on their backs.
Rep. Rosa-We can't suit every body
Every bill will tread on somebody's
toes. In these matters we generally
wait for suggestions from the Court. The
cases come chiefly from Hamakua and
Waimea and districts are entitled to
having the term held at Waimea There
is no difficulty about getting accommo-
dations. Waimea herself furnishes about
third of the cases, and Hamakua a
great many which are constantly in
creasing.
Minister Peterson-I think l can say
that members of the Bar and Court are
all perfectly satisfied with the holding
of the term at Waimea. Hilo has a
term for its convenience held in Hilo,.
Kona at Waiohinu and Hamakua and
Waimea at Waimea. admit that Wal
mea is not large nor growing but it is
lxy ha
placed where it would give greater satis-
faction to Kohala and Hamakua both.
Steamer communication is all very well
but man will take his horse every time
where he can get back at his own pleas
ure. 1t there were any arrangement
which would satisfy the people Of both
districts better, will vote for it. As it
is, | shall vote for the indefinite post
ponement OF the bill.
Rep. Kahookano-I have brought the
bill in because it is time that the change
should be made. VIII n was sheriff
great many people had to come from
kohala and there was no proper accom-
mediation for them. There was positive
suffering. The people from Hamakua
did not have to stay over night.
The ayes and noes were called on the |
motion to indefinitely postpone with the
following result:

cuse any one from voting and moved
these members be excused. Carried.
Second reading of bill to change hold
ing OF Second Judicial Circuit from La
haina to Wailuku. The report of the

Noble Baldwin moved the bill pass to
He would like to state
ew facts. The total number of cases for
1887, 1888, 1889 to June, 1890, were 189.
)ut OF these only twenty-five cases were 8
rom Molokai, Lanai and Lahaina, that's
I62 came from the Wailuku side of the s
sland, and only twenty-five from the |
'ther part of the circuit. 1t has been
claimed that it would be very difficult for
Nolokai people to get to Wailuku. 1t is
much harder to get from Kipahulu and
Hama to Lahaina. 1t will be almost as ,
'asy to get from Molokai to Wailuku as !
o Lahaina There is no steamer which :
,oes to both Hama and Lahaina. Again ;
he total population OF Molokai Lanai
md Lahaina is only something over
1000 OF which the rest OF the circuit is !
'yer 5000, about three times as much

'nly defeated by the personal popularity 1
# Aholo. Old members of the House
will bear me out in that. Lahaina is !
low one horse town, with only one t
plantation In the immediate vicinity /

argest on the islands. +
