The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-07-24

sentenced 10 TWO years imprisonment
at hard labor. There were several
liquor cases, but it is rather hard to
get a conviction from the fact that
the average juryman generally has
some sympathy for these people, and
besides they think the Government is
to blame for not granting them beer
license. Among the other more Sc
rious cases was one for receiving
stolen goods. The evidence went to
prove that there was something "in
it," but the fellow got off. There was
also another assault case, but the evil
dence that went to prove it was "too
thin.u There was also perjury case
in second degree which was proved,
and the defendant got two-and-a-half
years to ponder over his maiden at
tempt at false swearing. OF the other
cases, some were postponed until next
time and carried over for some reason
or another.
The closing exercises of the Public
School in Paauilo took place last week,
to the satisfaction of everyone and to

the teachers, scholars, and, in fact, to
everybody concerned in the manage
ment of or public schools.
