The advance in rice is pleasant to
behold. Rice advanced to 81 cts.

some months, and Hawaiian will

which now is 81.

MARsHAL's OFFICE,
Honolulu, H. l., Aug. 10, 1861
j. f. CoLBURN, ESQ, Honolulu, HI, l.
Dear Sir Il beg to acknowledge
receipt of your favor Of the 9th and
have carefully noted contents of
same.
Upon inquiry | have ascertained
from Officer Hammer that while the
Band was playing at Thomas Square
on the evening OF the 9th, a crowd
of boys were making themselves
obnoxious and were generally dis
orderly. After being requested sew
eral times by Officer Hammer to
stop such proceedings, they failing
to do SO, Officer Hammer used a
small cowhide which he carried in
his hand for the purpose of driving
them away.
Officer Hammer does not know
your boy, but as your boy says he
was there he probably felt the whip
which Hammer carried. Had your
boy been quiet and orderly he would
have no cause to complain; being
disorderly he must take the conse-
quence. Yours truly,
A. M. Brown,

Mr.. Colburn, feeling that after
such utterances we must either

dons, had the officer, who assaulted
his boy arrested on charge of as
sault and battery.

about the assault and his statements
were corroborated by the boys in his

We give the following instance as
an example,: Last W eek at public
band concert at Thomas Square a
police officer saw fit to chastise a
number of small boys because they
were unruly and according to his
statement vulgar in their language.
The officer, who probably is noted
for the re6nment of has language used
a rawhide whip on the boys, cutting
them in their faces, then hands and
bodies. Having the advantage of
about six feet in height, aud no
"big" brother being around the Of
fcer did his "chastising" job with
immunity. We are willing to be-
lieve that he thought, that he did
the correct thing and was simply
acting according to his instructions.

Mr., A. M. Brown, Marshal Republic

Sir Il am informed that on
Thursday evening at Thomas Square
while the Band was playing, police
officer by the name of Hammer ap-
preached a group OF boys and there
and then drew out from within his
shirtsleeves a cowhide whip and hit
several of the little boys that we're
there with it, amongst them my lit
tie boy of the age of 11th years. 1t
respectfully ask for some explana-
tion on this officials conduct as it
was illegal and uncalled for, say
nothing of it being cowardly.
Yours respectfully,

ruling the exceptions of the defendant.
Defendant was convicted before the
Circuit Court and brought his excep-
tions to the Supreme Court, claiming
error of the presiding judge in his
charge to the jury with respect 20
proving an alibi. The court sets forth,
as follows: "There being evidence
produced by defendant tending to
prove that defendant was elsewhere
than at the place where the offense is
alleged to have been committed at the
time alleged, the court was justified
of its own motion in charging the jury
as to the law of alibi." w. o. Smith

commissioner allowed the plaintiff all
the water in a ditch over defendants
land for two hours each day. There
being no evidence on which to base
the decision as to the extent of the
right and not clear preponderance

BARK II. HACKFELD ARRIVED IN
FROM THE SOUTH.
Full Cargo of Guano-Had Very Rough
Weather for Loading--Passenger
At the Island.

The German bark II. Hackfeld, Capt.
Barber, arrived at 12:45 today. She
brings 1400 tons of guano from Lay
san island.
According to Capt. Barber's account
he has had anything but pleasant
experience. Rough weather and heavy
swells prevailed almost the whole time
the bark was at the island.
For three weeks the work of load
ing was practically at a standstill, the
weather making it impossible to get
anything off in surf boats.
The Hackfeld has been away some
two months, and considering the time
lost altogether, and hard weather TO
work in, when possible to work at all,
the vessel has made good trip.
The captain took away crew Of
Japanese with two or ,nree kanakas,
and the little yellow men looked very
funny swarming aloft to take in sail
when the Ke Au Hou took her in tow.
Professor and Mrs. Schaninsland,
who went down to the island by the
Hackfeld, returned by her today.
Max Schlemmer and wife remained in
charge of the island with ten Japan
ese. All the rest of the laborers re-
turned on board the Hackfeld.
The cargo will be discharged at the
railway wharf and hauled over the
tracks to the Fertilizer Works at Ki-
lihi. This shipment adds sufficient
crude stock to the amount on hand TO
last considerable period. However,
orders are piling up and even with the
added space and machinery there is
required unusual activity to meet the
demands.

her of birds and curios an. reports the

DEPUTY AT HILO.
Mr.. f. b. McStocller's Official Visit -
Hawaii's Capital.
(Hilo Herald.)


f. B. McStocker, Deputy Collector
General. arrived by the last Kinau on
tour of inspection of the work con-
nected with the Customs department.
The merchants and shippers have
availed themselves of the opportunity
to lay their complaints regarding lack
of wharf and storage facilities, effect
ing goods shipped in bond and the in
convenience of being compelled to
make entry at Honolulu for goods in
transit to this port.
Mr.. McStocker was somewhat sur
prised at the growth and development
of Hilo from a business standpoint
since his visit two years ago, and as
sures us that whatever he can do in
the way of furthering the building of
wharf he will do.
The roads over which he has driven
has convinced him that our constant
kicks for better roads have been fully
warranted. He seemed pleased with
the outlook for the coffee industry
having spent Sunday visiting various
plantations in Olaa.
The principle laid down by Minister
Damon regarding sending around oc-
casionally a man at the head of the de-
partment to become acquainted with
the lay of things whereby they become
in closer touch with the work, is q
move in the right direction.
