better define and declare the prac-
tice in trials by jury. After consider
able argument the section was finally
struck out.
The rest of the bill was passed
with some slight amendments.
Rep. Kanealii said that it was
most necessary that the bill be re-
referred for translation. AS it was
Hawaiians could not understand it.
Rep. Waipuilani favored re-trans-
lation; this bill had been translated
by some lady (Mrs. j. E. Bush), and
she had no knowledge to assist her,
in the use of legal terms at least,
and so had failed to make an intel
ligible translation. The bill was
easily understandable in English but
in Hawaiian no member of the bar
could make sense of it.
Rep. Smith said that he had had
considerable Legislative experience
but had never known such lot of
poor translations from English to
Hawaiian or Hawaiian to English.
Rep. Kanealii agreed with Rep.
Smith; he was of opinion that in
competent persons were doing trans
lating and being paid therefor. 1t
looked as if there was ring in this
business of translating, and he con-
sidered that the Committee on Ac-
counts should compel some of the
so-called translators to disgorge.
