request had been made to the Minis
try for an appropriation. If there
had it would have received due con-
sjdcration.
Rep. Rosa admitted that a mem
Der had the right, but the question
was what was proper.
The motion WAS lost.
II. Il. II. Princess kaiulani, ST.
500.
Rep. II. w. Wilcox moved to
strike out the item. IL search were
made for royal blood, others might

ance. After the way the House had
dealt with the Queen, to be consist
ent il should reject this item.

Minister Brown moved $50, 900,
as that amount had already been APP
propriated.
Noble Mccarthy said there was
only $500 left of the special appro-
priation, and it cost Sll0O u week
to run the House.

600, which carried.

Minister Peterson moved to in
sert, "Fourth Associate Justice,
100000" There was a bill before
the House to make the number of
judges five as before.
Rep. Rosa thought some members
would like to understand more of
this proposal. At present there was
an even number of judges, that
might result in tie. 1t was desir-
able to have an odd number, but the
fourth Judge could not be dismissed,
as the office was life tenure.
Rep. Paehaole said the hon. men,
Der could not have heard the re-
marks made few minutes ago
about the causes that led to the
revolution. One of the causes was
the unnecessary increase in the
Supreme Court.
Rep. Rosa replied that he had on
the previous occasion spoken of the
principle underlying the pre-revolu-
ton practice.
Rep. Waipuilani argued that the
fifth judge was unnecessary.
Minister Peterson said it was in
the Constitution that no decision of
the Supreme Court was binding I'M
less rendered by majority of the
| judges. A majority of the present
Court was three to one He did not
desire to increase the appropria-
tions, but this was the proper time
for his motion. If the House did
not choose to pass the item, the
judiciary bill would have to be indie
tinitely postponed. 1t was not alto
gether correct to say that the Court
had got along well enough with four
judges. They had occasionally
divided even, mixing things CON
siderably.
Rep. Paehaole was arguing on the
supposition that the judiciary ill
was indefinitely postponed, but he
was corrected.
Noble Widemann said this was an
appropriation Tor specific person.
1T that person was not in existence
the money could not be expended.
The item might be passed now and
they would see about the fifth judge
later.
The item passed, 20 to II.
Clerk Supreme Court, $4,000.
Rep. Baker moved $1,000. Like
the head clerks of other depart.

deal of money. He was capable

water.
Rep. Marques supported tho
amendment.
The amendment carried.
Deputy Clerk Supreme Court
$4,000.
Noble Crabbe moved $4,000.
Noble Wldemann had opposed thu
other increase on principle, the in
cumbent being his friend, but, n
the head clerk had received q raise

Passed as in the bill.
Second Deputy Clerk Supreme
Court, $4,000. Passed.
