An Act to provide for q Police
Justice for the District of Makawao,
Island of Maui.
Rep. Richard moved it be referred
to the judiciary committee.
Rep. Brown moved it pass TO- en-
grossment. No point OF law was
involved. The bill simply raised
the District Justice to be a Police
Justice the same as that of Wailuku
and other Districts. 1t was due to
the increased Importance of the Dis
trict that the change should he
made.
Rep. Paehaole did not see the ne
cessity of Il Police Justice in Maka-
wac, there being one ut Wailuku
close at hand.
Rep. Halstead spoke as the intro
Queer of the bill, saying the reason
for the change was that there was
large mixed population in the Dis
trict, and ii was necessary TO in
crease the jurisdiction of the magis-
trate. II would be very inconve-
nient for residents TO have TO 90 TO
Wailuku whenever they wanted
Police Justice.
Rep. Paehaole did not see that
sufficient cause had been. shown for
giving the magistrate Of Makawa 40
criminal jurisdiction over the whole
island. Hama and other districts
would be wanting police Justices,
and then magistrates in these places
would have TO get higher salaries.
Rep. Kalua agreed with previous
speaker. Makawao was SO near
Wailuku that there was no neces-
sity for the change. He had never
heard of any difficulty from the pre-
sent position of the magistrate.
Rep. Richard supported the bill
on the ground that changed condi-
tons made the measure desirable.
He intended to ask the House to
pass similar bill for his own dis
trict.
Noble Baldwin thought the time
had come VIXEN Makawao should
have q Police Court. In 1867 the
fines collected in Makawao amount
ed to 80, G13 and those in Walluku TO
1926, while in lSSS-S9 the amount
for Makawao was S5,dSG and for
Wailuisu 1872. Their relative POI
sitions of Importance, rs shown by
amounts Of fines, had become re.
versed. The House had already
passed q salary to a Police Justice
for Makawao.
Rep. Paehaolc was called to order
by Noble Won Tempsky, for having
| spoken three times. The speaker
smiled and held on the tenor of his
way. As to the salary being al
ready passed, he said items were
often increased on the third reading.
What he meant was that the time
would come when increased salaries
would be asked. Therefore he NOV
ed the bill be indefinitely postponed.
The bill passed, 10 be read third
time Friday.
An Act to amend an Act entitled
can Act to consolidate and amend
the law relating to the garnishee
process TO facilitate the collection OF
debts" approved the 10Th day Of
September, A. d., 1876" The bill
provides for extending the garnishee
process to the collection of debts
from persons employed by The Gov
eminent.
Rep. Richard moved the bill be-
referred to the judiciary committee
because it imposed onerous dutic!
on the supcriors of Government en-
ployees, as we'll as hardships on thu
employees. These might have wives
and young children and it would b'
very hard to garnishee half thei
salaries from month to month, espe
cially when their financial trouble
were caused by sickness in their ia
miles.
Rep. Lucas could not see VIII,
this bill should not be engrossed
Persons not in Government position
often had sickness in their families
and had as much right to be fire.
from liability for their debts as oil
Gals. 1t was bill to compel publ
. servants to he honest, and il ougll
to pass to be read a third time To
, morrow.
Noble Mccarthy, who introduce
the bill, did not think it was S
harsh y measure as had been repre-
5 scented. IL was only to prevent oil
! ficials from being above the law, a
l some of them snapped their finger
at their creditors. If the bill wa

$ Rep. Brown sympathized with tn
object of the bill, but said ii wa
r not in condition TO hold water.

$ Rep. r. w. Wilcox believed I'll
