Noble Widemann believed the
committee Of the whole would never
know the cause of misunderstand-
ing on this bill.
Noble MacIarlane said there seem
ed to have been misunderstanding
about this bill, or it would never
have passed. 1t was simply meas.
ure TO legali2e the unprofessional
practice OF Mr.. Castle. The bill
was unconstitutional in being retro
spective in its operation.
Noble Baldwin had introduced the
bill, but had no personal interest in
it. The hon. Noble Tor Oahu was
too personal in his remarks. He
had asked several persons about it
before introducing the bill and they
considered it q good bill. There
was clause in the mortgage law
which was indefinite and had been
construed differently by different
lawyers. He was in favor of refer
ing il TO q committee.

far as Noble Baldwin was concern
ed, that hon. member probably be-
lieved it was agood bill but his legal
friends should have told him il was
unconstitutional.

time of the House was worth SlOC
all hour. lie did not know whether
that came from w. r. Castle, or Ii.

tune in passing laws for the pe,son
benefit OF anybody. Ii w. r.. Cas-.
tie had got his neck in rope, it wa!
not the business of this House u
