At 1910 the House took recess
till 50.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Second reading of bill to repeal
Chap. &c, Laws of 1888, relating 10
the Supreme Court.
Rep. Waipuilani, who introduced
the bill, found there were mistakes
in it, and moved it be referred TO
the Judiciary Committee.
Noble Widemann said the bill
was u simple one, and asked that
the introducer give statement of
the mistakes.
Rep. Rosa said that, to make the
re. enactment of law legal, 1t was
necessary to embody the Act in
question in the bill. In this case
the repealed law was that of 1886
on the judiciary.
Rep. Brown said the object of the
bill was to restore live judges to the
Supreme Court. II this passed
three of the judges would have
nothing to do most Of the year
while the country had to pay the
unnecessary expense of their main
tenance. He moved the bill he H.
, definitely postponed.
Rep. Rosa said it was true the
t five judges had not much work 10
do, but the reason for having FIVE
f judges was that the attorneys did
not get justice from three judges.
{ New Zealand is the only country
where the judge who tried case
: below could sit with the court in
banco on an appeal of such case
: There is always plenty of work il
4 the court. If the judges have M
j. hearings, they can spend their tim
O reading Law. 1t is uphill work TO
q lawyer to conduct an appeal
y when the judge who tried the cas-
e below assists opposite counsel. Tn
~ judges are considering measur
whereby two judges can be tryin,
jury cases at the same time durin,
y term. Formerly four cases coul,
- be tried in one day, but of late
," has been impossible to try NOR
. than two cases day, and some
- times an ordinary larceny case take
- day and half. This is in on
, sense good, as the rights of defend
y ants are better guarded. AS to tn
- extra expense there was no com
20 plant when we had five judges
II The objection came from the judge
- themselves, who had a delicac
~ about their decisions being sustaine
by the full bench. An intiuenti,
y Judge when there were only tire
could almost force his opinion o
&c his colleagues, and thus litiganl
D. had to take unfair decisions.
E. Noble Widemann said that fc
Or himself he was in favor of iiv
TO judges. He had heard it advocate
many years ago by his distinguish
re- friend, Judge A. $. Hartwell, an
" it met with much approval the
lie He did not think that five judge
IL were too many to do our work salts
he factorily, but hewould like to add
he provision to prevent judge sittir
10 in banco on case heard by him
it the court below.
er Minister Peterson moved the hi
ed be referred to a select committee
SO five. The bill was not in conditit
~ to pass. Its title did not EXPIRE
e. all that was in the bill. A bill
,r- re-enact law should embot
ut that law. The Supreme Court
decided in regard to the Opium a
IN of 1887. His reason for sele
op committee was that the judicial
he committee had enough to do wi
he matters referred TO it from day
rs day, and there was report of
20 commission two or three years az
he on Judiciary Act, which shou
cb also be considered.
