the District Court of Eva, where
he was convicted for having opium

quilted by Hawaiian jury. S. K.
Kane for defendant.
The next case was that of the
contested will Of the late Charlotte
Adams, relict of the pioneer pilot
Captain Alex. Adams, occupying
the attention of the jury and Court
all of yesterday afternoon, and the
trial will probably occupy all of
today. The subscribing witnesses
to the will are DIR, John Brodie and
attorney Cecil Brown. The will
devises all property to one daugh-
ter, namely, Mrs. Mary Aud,
wife of William Aud, to the ex-
clusion of all the other heirs, there
being several. Mrs. Annie Phelps,

contestant. The property involved
is large one. Messrs. Cecil Brown

ponents of the will, and Messrs.
A. S. Hartwell, G. w. Ashford and
A. Rosa for the contestants.
Chief Justice Judd has filed a

Co. and Jos. Marsden and w. ii.

$239O.14 for materials sold to de-
PENDANTS in the construction of
machine called the "Marsden and
Richard Evaporation" The YER
dict was for defendants, and plain
tiffs moved for new trial, which
motion was only heard the other
day. The Chief Justice sees no
reason now for granting new trial,
thus putting plaintiffs to their
remedy by taking up their bill of
exceptions to the Appellate Court.
w. r. Castle for plaintiffs A. S.
Hartwell for defendants.
In Anima ct al vs. Lau Kona,

Supreme Court. J. A. Magoon for
plaintiffs A. S. Hartwell for de-
PENDANTS.
