judiciary committee. Owing TO
changed conditions of travel it was
easier for people to 60 to kohala
now than TO Waimea formerly.
Rep. Apiki was in favor Of the
bill. The reasons urged applied to
the people of Kan as well rs those
of other districts.
Noble Parker desired the bill TO
60 to the judiciary committee, as he
wished to give his views to com
mittce.
Noble Marstlcn Withdrew his mo-
tion for select committee, and
Rep. Brown withdrew his motion for
indefinite postponeincnt.
Noble Pua was convinced by the
arguments that the bill should pass,
and thought it was q waste of time
to commit it.
Referred TO judiciary committee.
Minister Brown said the next two
bills (poi license and divorce for
leprosy) were introduced by MEN,
her who was absent on leave (Rep.
Cummlngs), and he moved they be
passed over and the next on the Or
der taken up. Carried.
Second reading OF an Act to
amend sec. 3, chap 80, Session
Laws of 1886, relating to the cur
rency.
The section as proposed to be
amended reads as follows; 1.-The
Minister of Finance shall receive on
deposit Hawaiian silver coin to any
amount not less than twenty dollars,
and issue certificates of deposit
payable to bearer therefor of the
denominations of twenty, fifty, one
hundred, and five hundred dollars
respectively, setting apart as spe-
cial deposit the money so received,
as security for the redemption of
such certificates.
Minister Brown moved the bill
! pass to enSrossment. 1t was intend
ed to restore law formerly in
force, but which was repealed on be-
half of firm that was going to start
a bank. Great inconvenience and
loss occasioned through the neces.
sity of shipping of 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 a man with a wheelbarrow
to carry the silver, and few days
later the coin would have to bt
trucked from the bank.
The bill passed to be read a thirt
time Friday.
| Second reading of an Act pre-
scribing the seat of justice of th'
Second Judicial Circuit of the King
dom.
Rep. Brown moved the bill be re
ferred to the judiciary committee
to which had just been referred Thu
bill relating to the Third Circuit.
Rep. Waipuilani moved the bill
be indefinitely postponed, and asked
the honorable Noble from Mau
(von Tempsky) to make a note o
the time. He argued against de
priving Lahaina of one of the term
of court. Lahaina was a historl
place, formerly the capital and roy
al seat. They were not there t
consult the convenience of member
of the bar, but the interests of TIL
people of the country. Althoug
he had advocated the change Pre-
posed in the Third Circuit, til
cases were not parallel. Petition
had been received from both side
and the House ought to be careful
Noble Walbridge was in favor c
referring this bill to select CON
mittee. Since 1887 there had bee
199 cases in that Circuit, out G
which fifteen came from Moloks
and seven from Lahaina. He ha
been at Lahaina once on jury duty
when he received 50 jury fees an
his expenses were SIG. He had re
ceived petitions from nearly 400 II
sidents asking for the change. an
moved that the petitions on the sui
ject be referred to the committee.
Noble Parker argued that tn
bill should receive the same trea
ment as that for the other Circuit
1t should go to the Judiciary con
mittee. He wanted fair show fc
everybody (applause). There wei
members of the House better poste
on ways of getting round on I'll
Island of Maui than he was on way
of getting round Hawaii, and |
was pretty we'll posted.
Noble Cornwell considered tn
Noble Parker did not know what
was talking about. daughter
He would second the motion for
select committee.
Rep. Kalua would not say an
thing for or against the bill ju
then, but when bill had been I
ferred to the judiciary committe
twas almost an insult to that col
mittee to refer this bill 10 a sele
d committee. He would be dispos
in such case to resign his place {
: the judiciary committee.
Noble Won Tempsky said that
refer this bill to the Judiciary col
mittee was like referring case Il
jury that had expressed opinion
Reps. Kalua and White of that col
mittee had both given their vie
on the bill, besides which the
