On the cases of Henry +. Poor
being called, MIR. Peterson for the
defendant said he understood the
Supreme Court had rendered deci-
sion therein, which had been sent to
the printer before he had seen it.
He was told the Court had said the
matter might have been submitted
in another way, although counsel on
both sides had agreed on the ques-
ton to be submitted. Until he could
see the decision he would like to
have the cases passed. The Judge
accordingly put the cases over to
| Thursday
This afternoon pleas to indict-
meuts were taken.
Lui Olivia, on withdrawing his APP
peal in one case from conviction in
the District Court for liquor selling,
had a second case for the same Of
fense against him dropped. He was
ordered to appear for sentence to-
morrow morning.
On the case against A. Kahananui
for liquor selling being called for
trial, Mr.. Kaulukou asked for time
until tomorrow morning. He said
Mr.. Rosa was first counsel for the
defendant but could not possibly be
there to-day.
The Court was willing to grant
the request if Mr.. kaulukou would
provide another case for trial. Could
lie not take up the next case, in
which he was sole counsel?
Mr.. Kaulukou said that, not eX-
pecting that one 10 be called, his
witnesses we're not on hand.
ave must have case,' the Court
remarked firmly.
Mr.. Kaulukou urged that the
Court should concede something to
counsel, especially in view of the
fact that Mr.. Rosa and he had wait
: ed on the prosecution all last term
for trial of Kahananui, but the case
was put off until this term owing to
the absence of witness for the
prosecution. Now, when he ouly
asked for one day, surely the Court
would comply.
"We must have a case" again the
Court observed; "cali No. Z. | have
no fear that the case will not be wei
defended by Mr. Kauiuhou alone
"Your Honor thinks SO, but
don't think So" s,nilihgly returned
Mr.. Kaulukou, again plunging int,
an importunate plea for delay.
. Judge Cooper then ordered the
Jury called Tor NO. I.
Mr.. Kaulukou, finding Justice
would not wait any more than tim,
or tide, switched her car on anothe
; track with the bland remark: well
). if Your Honor insists on it, will dc
:. the best | can with No. 81
/ The jury was therefore called TO
the trial Of Puhili, also charged will
: liquor selling, instead Of Kahananui
