THIRD CIRCUIT COURT
HOLDS ITS FIRST TERM AT
kOHALA.
List Of Cases Tried and What Was
Done With Them-Native Law
yers Must Study UP.

the first term of the Third Circuit
Court at Mahukona, North Kohala,
Hawaii, provided for under the new
judiciary act, and the proceedings have
shown a amentable ignorance on the
part of the native attorneys Of the pro-
visions of the act itself, and more
especially to that portion of it relating
to appeals and the manner of perfecting
them. 1t will be noticed in reading
the list of cases below that many OF
them we're dismissed on account of
defective appeal papers, for which, the
STAR is informed, there is absolutely
no excuse, the provisions of the new
law in that respect being plain, ade
/, quate and simple. While Judge
Austin has had to enforce the law in
this matter, there is no question that
the rights of some litigants in the
Court have been forfeited through the
careessness Of their attorneys. Follow.
ing is the calendar for the term
