tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
The motion was lost.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Second reading of the bill to
amend the murder law. Introduced
by the judiciary committee. Pass
ed, on motion of Noble Widemann,
TO be read third time tomorrow.
Second reading of bill to provide
for term of the Third Judicial Cir
cult Court on the first Thursday of
March in every year at Honokaa,
Hawaii, also, for change of the
term now held at Waimea, on the
first Tuesday of November, to North
Kohala on the first Thursday of
November.
Rep. Brown asked if there was an
appropriation to cover the addition
al expense.
Rep. Hookano thought there
would be enough funds. The new
system would lessen expenses.
Minister Peterson SAID that an adj
ditional term would certainly add to
the expense. The interva! between
the Honokaa term in March and the
IIilo term in May would be short,
as that between the Hilo term in
May and the Kobala term IN Novem-
Der would be long. The idea might
be good one if some other month
than March could be utilized for the
| Honokaa term.
Noble Widemann was one of the
Ancients who could not agree to
any change without seeing good
reason for it. The only reason APP
parent for this change was that a
young man, tor whom he had great
respect, wanted to make name for
himself in his FIRST session.
| Rep. Brown saw another objection
in the provision that the Chief JUS
tice could adjourn the Court TO
another seat. He moved the indie
finite postponement of the bill.
Rep. Hookano introduced the bill
on account of the great trouble oc-
casioned Kohala people in attending
Court at Waimea, and was request
ed to do so by his constituents. The
matter objected to by Rep. Brown
could be amended.
Noble Widemann held several
terms at Waimea and never had any
trouble about jurors. He fined a
doctor $40 for non-attendance as a
juror, but RENTED the fine on his
pleading privilege as doctor. That
was the only trouble he had. The
difficulty of going from Kohala to
Hamakua was greater than that of
going from Hamakua to Waimea.

lowing vote:

Second reading of bill relating Il
stamp duties, recommended TO

Minister Brown, in reply to No
BILE Widemann, said the bill was in
