Noble Marsden Withdrew his motion
for a select committee, and Rep. Brown

ponement.

ments that the bill should pass, and
thought it was a waste OF time to COM
NIT it.

(poi license and divorce for leprosy) |

Finance shall receive on deposit Ha- |
Waiian silver coin TO any amount not less
than twenty dollars, and issue certlfi- |
Gates OF deposit payable to bearer there |
for OF the denominations OF twenty, nfty, |
one hundred, and five hundred dollars |

Minister Brown moved the bill pass to
| engrossment 1t was intended to re-
store law formerly in force, but which
was repealed on behalf OF firm that
was going to start a bank. Great incon-
venience and loss occasioned through
the necessity of shipping silver collected
in taxes. Considerable loss in weight
was necessarily caused by abrasion
which the taxpayers would ultimately
have to pay. A business man had to be
accompanied to the bank by man with
wheelbarrOw to carry the silver, and
few DAYS later the coin would have to be
trucked from the bank.
The bill passed, to be read a third
time Friday.
Second reading of an Act prescribing
the seat of Justice of the Second judicial
Circuit of the Kingdom.
Rep. Brown moved the bill be re-
ferred to the Judiciary committee, to
which had just been referred the bill re-
lating to the Third Circuit.
Rep. Waipuilani moved the bill be in
definitely postponed, and asked the hon
orable Noble from Maui won Tempsky)
to make note of the time. He argued
against depriving Lahaina OF one OF the
terms of court. Lahaina was historic
place, formerly the capital and royal
seat. They were not there to consult
the convenience of members of the bar,
but the interests of the people of the
country. Although he had advocated
the change proposed in the Third Cir
!. cult, the cases were not parallel. Petit
tons had been received from both sides
and the House ought to be careful.
Noble Walbridge was in favor OF re-
ferring this bill to select committee.
: Since 1887 there had been 1S9 cases i'll
that Circuit, out of which fifteen came
>. from Molokai and seven from Lahaina
He had been at Lahaina once on jury
! duty, when he received 50 jury fees and
: his expenses were $26. He had received
3 petitions from nearly 400 residents ask
y ing for the change, and moved that tn,
. petitions on the subject be referred t,
~ the committee.
Noble Parker argned that this bill
= should receive the same treatment as
! u that for the other Circuit. 1t should g
:. to the Judiciary committee. He wanted
:. fair show for everybody (applause)
- There were members of the House bette
posted on ways of getting round on thu
:: Island of Maui than he was on ways o
|. getting round Hawaii, and he wa
II pretty well posted.
q Noble Cornwell considered that Noble
u Parker did not know what he was talk
'e ing about. Uaughter.) He woult
second the motion for a select commit
~ tee.
le Rep. Kalua would not say anythin
:. for or against the bill just then, bu
81 when similar bill had been referred
- the Judiciary committee, it was almos
- an Insult to that committee to refer thi
bill to select committee. He would b
d. disposed In such a case to resign hi
VI place on the Judiciary committee.
~ Noble Won Tempsky said that to refe
10 this bill to the Judiciary committee wa
II like referring a case to jury that ha
/, expressed opinions. Reps. Kalua an
u, White of that committee had both give
. their views on the bill, besides whic
- they were large property owners in tn
District. He would support reference
select committee.
10 Minister Brown thought better CON
nc mittee than the Judiciary could not
vi had to consider this bill The chairma
vi (Mr. Kalua) was from Waikiki, the mex
3 member MIR. White) from Lahaina, an
u a third (Mr. Halstead) from Makawat
IA SO that every side of the question woul

tons had been received which change

~ of the bill to select committee woul
49, compel him to resign from the Judiciar
oe committee, as he would take it as vol
:. of want of confidence.
90 Rep. X. w. Wilcox supported referenG
% to the Judiciary committee. He Wa
" born at Honoula and brought up at Wa
3" luku, and always thought both terms
Court should be held at Lahaina. Wa
~. luku was only plantation village. Ii
III was not for the hospitality of Mr.. Kalu
members of the bar could not be pr
' le perly entertained at Wailuku. Whe
ia Lahaina got the roads it ought to hav
-. the place would make progress.
ii Rep. kanealii was willing to trust tt
NC Judiciary committee to give the bill ia
W consideration.
III Noble Walbridge withdrew his motto
for select committee in favor OF II
!. judiciary committee.
, NC Rep Nawahi thought it would be
'Ai good idea if the Maui members won
,d give tea party, and talk gossip like tt
AN ladies, for the purpose of settling the
:, differences.
~; Rep. White spoke in both languag
,a- in favor OF rejecting the bill. There vi
no necessity for the change Peep
