was closed by Judge De Bolt at about
three o'clock yesterday afternoon with
the fixing of bail in the Nigel Jackson
case. Jackson was represented in court
by Lorrin Andrews who asked that bail
be fixed. He thought $4,000 reasonable
amount, but stated he did not believe
Jackson could furnish even that sum.

objeeted. to such a small bond for
man indicted for arson, charged with
burning house and causing the death
of three persons.
Judge De Bolt finally fixed the
amount of bail at $4,000 which Jackson
was unable to give.
PORTO RICANs CONVICTED.
Gregorio Able and Eliza Rosalio were
found guilty of larceny in the first de-
gree by jury and Judge De Bolt i'm
posed a sentence of one year upon both
defendants.
This was the last criminal case of
the term and Judge De Bolt excused the
jurors, thanking them warmly for their
services during the term. Mr.. Douthitt
also expressed his qualification at the
manner in which the work of the term
had been carried out and there was
general exchange of bouquets between
attorneys and jurors. None of the jur-
ors have been paid thus far, but it is
the expectation that Chief Justice Frear
will recommend an appropriation for
this purpose to the next legislature.
All the criminal cases, including the
Wright and Boyd cases, were continued
by Judge De Bolt to the next regular or
special term. Wright has been released
upon giving bond in the sum of $4,000
with Antonino Long as surety.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
The Supreme Court handed down an
opinion yesterday in the case of Koolau
Kaikainahaole VS.. S. C. Allen sustain
ing the lower court except as to the
allowance of an attorneys fee. The
syllabus says:
"a mortgage has his remedy against
the land by foreclosure, even though
he has failed to present his claim to the
administrator of the deceased mort
gagor within the time prescribed by sec
ton 1925 of the Civil Laws
"A court of law will not advise an
administrator upon simple questions of
law about which he should have con-
suited an attorney"
The court orders a reversal as to the
allowance of $50 attorneys fee on the
ground that no evidence was taken
! showing what damage had been sus-
tanned by reason of the injunction pro-
| ceedings. The court also says that the
plaintiff had no right to come to the
court for advice, and it should not have
been given ~ the judge, but she should
have applied to an attorney.
