Rep. Robertson reported for the Ju-
dietary Committee as follows:
Your Judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred Senate Bill No. 80, repeal
ing Sections 1880 and 1881 of the Civil
| Code, beg leave to report as follows:
said sections of the Civil Code re-
| late to the ownership of property of
married persons upon a decree of di-
| vorce for adultery. The bill was in
troduced on the ground that those sec
lions of the code are inconsistent with
| the provisions of the Married Wom-
ans Act of 1888.
I'VE are of the opinion that that rea-
son applies only to Section 1881, and
we believe it would be unwise to repeal
| Section 1880, which protects the prop
erty of the wife when divorce is de-
creed for the adultery of the husband.
The Act TO repeal Section 1881 of the
| Civil Code, relating to the ownership
of the property of married woman up
on a decree of divorce for her adultery.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of
the Republic of Hawaii:
Section l. That Section 1881 of the
Civil Code be and the same is hereby
repealed.
Section . This Act shall take eff
| feet from the date of its publication.

the former and tive from the latter, fol
| the terms of two. three, four and six
years, as will happen in the coming
election set for the last Wednesday in
September, 1899? How will these cleo
Mons be held?
