Work in the House.

The House of Representatives
showed yesterday that the honorable
gentlemen are willing to get down to
business. After adopting the min
utes of the preceding day, Paele sent
a petition to the clerk, which the lat
ter read 1t was from the Hawaiian
Woman's Relief Society, praying for a
special appropriation for carrying on
It's work among the needy. The pc
titioners said they were in dire dis
tress for funds to carry on their char
table work, and humbly requested
that the House give the matter full
consideration. /. was signed by B. NJ.

Emmeluth reported from the COM

to the claims for reimbursing H. M.

The committee found that an error
was made in November, 1899, by send
ing in twenty-five cents too much
thirty cents too little another month,
and so on until there was in reality
only 1895 due the petitioner. The
committee recommended that the
item be inserted in the appropriation
bill for payment. A minority report
was submitted and on motion of Moss,

He SAID that it had been the prac-
tice OF the officials in charge OF
Oahu prison to keep prisoners who
were not yet tried at work with con-
demned criminals, and that he had
often spoken to them about it and
expressed bis disapproval OF the un-
Just method. Furthermore, so long
as the practice continued, and the
prisoners came up for trial before
him, he would continue to give
nominal sentences only.
He then sentenced Naibe to one
hour at hard labor, and stipulated
that be be given his liberty at 1880
O'Clock last evening or sooner.

Hs Got Damages.

In the case OF Chas. E. Bartlett
against the Hawaiian Carriage
Manufacturing Company, decision
was made yesterday by the Supreme
Court on bill of exceptions from
the First Circuit Court. The dam
ages sued for were 5000, but the
evidence showed that the actual loss
was only $4l2, Counsel for plaintiff
admitted that the sum sued for was
excessive, and asked permission to
file remittitur for the excess of
SlS7, which was given;
The Court held, however, that the
remittilur should not be, allowed to
avoid the granting of new trial.

for the plaintiff.

his being compelled to labor as a
prisoner serving sentence, or other
wise that it was by his own request
he was allowed to perform some la
Dor in and about the prison premises,
that he was not. at any time, allowed
to communicate or work with convict
ed prisoners, The labor so performed
in and about the jail premises was on
ly at his request and in the interest
of humanity. Committed prisoners
often ask permission to do labor for
exercise. The prison has no need OF
such labor, as we have sufficient num-
Der of convicted prisoners to perform
all the work required in and about
the prison. The only cases where
committed men have been allowed to
WORK are those in which they have
come to me and requested it. He was
not clothed in prison garb.
All the foregoing can be verified by
persons employed about the prison.

We have no reason to entertain any
friendly feeling for that institution,
but we do not hesitate for a moment
to say, that the man the Judge treat
ed so leniently lied. In the prison the
men awaiting trial are at all times
kept apart from the convicts. rule
which any Warden will uphold strict
ly. Most prisoners awaiting trials
may be released at any moment on
bail, and if allowed to mix with con
victs all kinds of arrangements could
be made for escapes, and a nice state
of affairs occur. AS to a prisoner,
awaiting trial, being forced to work
in the convict gang is all bosh. He
will be asked to clean his cell, to
empty that beastly bucket, and per-
haps even to help in sweeping the
yard or do some light chores within
the walls of the prison. In ninety
nine instances out of a hundred he
will be only too glad to put his hand
to something, so as to pass the weary
time, but in no case have we ever
seen or heard of a prisoner awaiting
trial being ordered" or forced TO
work.

This peculiar action of the judge
is explained by him in his newspaper
this morning in the following report
of the proceedings, which reads:
When Naihee was brought in guilty
of larceny by the jury yesterday even
ing, as stated in the court proceedings
elsewhere both the prisoner and his
attorney, Mr.. Bigelow, stated that the
former had been in prison five months
awaiting trial. Not only that, but
for four months of the period Naihee
had been required to perform hard
labor.
The court asked the prisoner if he
had voluntarily performed such labor,
or if he was required to do it by the
prison authorities. Naihee replied
that he did it solely because he was
compelled to do it. His labor con-
sisted in breaking coral rock.
WAS he required to perform this
labor in company with prisoners in
convict garh, serving sentences for
crime?" the court inquired.
"Yes," the prisoner answered.
Thereupon the court said it had be-
fore denounced the practice of requir-
ing prisoners who are awaiting trial,
but not convicted, to perform hard
labor or any labor at all except to po-
lice their quarters and that it intend
ed, whenever the law was violated by
the authorities in this respect, to i'm
pose the lightest possible sentence
upon the person whose rights had
been invaded
Mr.. Dunn, representing the Terri
tory, remarked that he would take
pleasure in bringing the matter to the
attention of the authorities.
To this the court replied that it did
not think such information would do
any good, as he had on more than one
occasion denounced the practice.
Thereupon the court sentenced the
defendant to be imprisoned at hard
labor for the period of one hour and
the officer was instructed to release
him at o'clock, all costs being re-
mitted.

THE JUDGE AND THE PRISONER

In the Circuit Court yesterday the
presiding Judge created a sensation
by imposing nominal sentence only
on a Hawaiian whom the jury had
found guilty of larceny in the second
degree, an offense punishable with
Imprisonment at hard labor. The sen
tence imposed was that the man be
sent to prison for one hour
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-03-08

We have had the pleasure of paying
prolonged though not quite Yolun-
tary visit to Oahu Jail, and we have
carefully watched the manner in
which convicts as well as prisoners
awaiting trial are treated. The
charge against the Jail by the Circuit
Judge is absolutely without founda-
ton, but we presume that by letting
Naihee off easy he thought he struck
a body blow at the High Sheriff,
which he couldn't get in over the
shoulders of the Grano Jury.

We believe that the Circuit Judge
has simply been misinformed, because
we have not yet noticed that he has
exhibited any special animus against
the Oahu Prison, for which he in his
grand jury charge rather seemed to
have a, perhaps natural, sympathy.
