ORDER OF THE DAY.
The House proceeded TO order of
the day.
Second reading of bill TO amend
Sec. 1913 Civil Code.
Minister Brown said the bill was
simply one to increase the jurisdic-
ton of district and police justices,
in assumpsit suits, from 5000 to
$500. He would like to have the
reasons for the proposed change
from the introducer. The Cabinet
thought it good bill, as it would
save expenses to litigants, also save
the time of the Supreme Court.
Rep. Kahookano, the introducer,
said the object of the bill was as the
Minister had stated. AT present
creditors had to incur great expenses
in collecting comparatively small
debts through the Circuit Courts.
Noble Widemann said the present
amount of jurisdiction was above
what it had been formerly, and if it
was made $500 it would be sought
next TO make it S400, and so on.

signature.
