venience and loss orcasioned through
the necessity Of shipping silver collected
in taxes. Considerable loss in weight
was necessarily caused by abrasion

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 a historic
place, formerly the capital and royal
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
lions 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 in
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 SO jury fees and
his expenses were $26. He had received
petitions from nearly 400 residents ask
ing Ser the change, and moved that the
petitions on the subject be referred to
the committee.
Noble Parker argued that this bill

fair show for everybody (applause).
There were members of The House better
posted on ways OF getting round on the
Island of Maui than he was ON ways OF
getting round Hawaii, and he was
pretty well posted.

Rep. Kalua would not say anything
for OF against the bill just then, but
when a similar bill had been referred to
the Judiciary committee, it was almost
an insult to that committee TO refer this
bill to select committee. He would be
IN such a case to resign his
place on the Judiciary committee. 9ai
Noble Won Tempsky said that to refer
this bill TO the Judiciary committee was
like referring a case to a jury that had
opinions. Reps. Kaiua and
White OF that committee had both given
their views on the bill, besides which |
they were large property owners in the
District He would support reference to
a select committee. ~ ssf esF

a third (Mr. Halst, ADJ from Makawao.

be represented.
Rep. Kalua, in reply to Noble Won |
fempsky, said it was true that, on the |
OF the bill. he had moved |
its rejection, but since then many peti. |
ions had been received which changed |

Of the bin to select committee would |

as he would take it as a vote |
Of want OF confidence.
Rep Il w Wilcox supported reference |

born ut Honoula and brought up at Wal |
uku, and always thought both terms of |
Court should be held at Lahaina. Wal |
