holding additional terms of the circuit I
court OF the third judicial circuit.
Noble Parker moved the indefinite 4
postponement OF the bill. Hamakua had I
no accommodation a. yet for the court. /
Perhaps they would have the courthouse
enlarged in the next two years, when it
would be time enough 10 make the
change. By this bin the people of 10
hala would have further than ever 10
travel to court. He moved the previous

Third reading of bill to define the
duties of kokuas of the lepers.
Noble Widemann asked whether the
kokuas supported themselves or were
supported by the Government.
Minister Peterson said they were sup
posed to support themselves, but practi
cally they were a charge on the Govern
: ment.
, Noble Widemann believed the answer
of the Acknowledgement was absolutel,
correct. AS he believed that the bill
5 would cause misrule, discomfort, anC
trouble all round, he moved it be indie
e finitely postponed.
z Noble Macfarlane stated, as membe
g OF the committee, that they had gon
e carefully into the subject. MIR. Meyer
d Superintendent, had recommended thi
Il measure, because the kokuas were get
l. ting nothing for their work. They wer
r not getting extra rations direct, bu

helped. AS the House had decided nc

Therefore he moved that the bill pass
l. Noble j. NJ Horner wished to note tn
)f fact that there were a thousand dos
and seventy-five kokuas maintained OIL
ii of the Government rations, which a
d counted for the demand from the lepe
every session for increased rations.
N Rep. Paehaole, as member OF Il
N Molokai visiting committee and res
dent of the island, said that Noble Wild
mann was drawing on his mag nation.
to Noble Widemann said the hon. mel
I'd Der was entirely mistaken in the DRIFT
his remarks. 1t was a great mistake
to the Board OF Health TO admit those k
kuas under the impression that tn
~ would support themselves. If kok
Id earned his food by helping the lepers,
considered he worked for his living I
ne same as rats and mice-he did good 81
vice. For work the kokuas should
paid but they should not be independe
n of the manager.
Rep. White could not see the obj
ne ton to paying the kokuas.
he Noble Widemann withdrew his II
ton, and the bill passed, re-conside
