to know if a Judge is hired TO chase
up cases so as to have a large number
to his credit. The number of cases has
nothing at all 10 do with the matter.
l would suggest, however, that the
member from Kohala amend the law
first and then proceed TO work on the
appropriation. That would be the cor
rect way to approach the matter.
