An Interesting Case

Judge Humphreys, in response to
a writ OF mandamus will appear be-
fore the Supreme Court to morrow
morning, to show cause why he ex-
cluded w. T. Schmidt from further
Jury duty and forfeited his dues as
Juror.
Schmidts complaint relates to the
trial of Territory We. Manu-. Com
plainant was one OF the jury who
retired at 4:10 p. m. OF March l to
consider verdict. He was unable
to agree with ten Of the jurors, al
though the jury were out until 10
O'Clock next morning. Then they
we're called before the Judge, who,
when the foreman answering
question said they could not agree,
requested the names OF the two
jurors who were unable 10 agree
With the ten jurors. Being informed
by the foreman that the pames were
W. T. Schmidt and @. X. Quinn, the
Judge "did then and there" the
complaint says, without cause aud
without right, and contrary to law
and the rights OF said jurors, w. T.
Schmidt and @. X. Quinn, harshly
and cruslly reprimand said jurors"
and further ordered that they should
be excused from further jury duty
and forfeit their per diem fees as
said jurors.
The complaint says that at all
times, while verdict in said cause
was being considered by said jury
the said juror, W. T, Schmidt, did
conduct himself properly and did
4 conscientiously perform his duties,
in compliance with his oath, as a
trial juror in said cause.
1t is declared that the complain
ant signed statement OF jury fees
due and owing to him, and that the
Territory OF Hawaii has paid the
sum OF $24 owing to him as stated,
but that Henry Smith, clerk of
court, refuses to pay him the money
on ACCOUNT of the order OF Judge
Humphreys
A demurrer has been filed by
Judge Humphrey concluding with
the prayer that said writ Of man
damus be dismissed and he may go
hence with his costs herein most
vexatiously sustained" His reasons
are condensed below. /, The writ
does not state facts sufficient to
constitute cause of action, or to
eutitle the relator to the writ of
mandamus or to any relisf. 2, The
writ is not properly entitled and it's
allegations are neither in proper
form nor direct and certain. 3, The
writ discloses on its face that the
relator has other plain, speedy and
adequate remedies at law. 4, There
is nothing in the writ to show that
the relator has made any attempt
, in the Circuit Court to set aside the
order constituting his complaint
5, Upon it's face the writ shows that
if the relator is without remedy al
law it is wholly due to his culpable
3 laches, neglect and failure to seel
redress in the Circuit Court
The respondent cannot do thu
8 things alternately ordered in The
writ without violating the we'll
7 established practice OF courts pro
, ceeding as at common law anC
without violating the law of tbt
land" Z, The respondent has nc
control over the matters alleged
> and is without power, authority anc
jurisdiction to do and perform th'
1 order Of the writ. 8, The Snpremt
Court "is without power, authority
or jurisdiction in the premises"
