ed in the suit of William r. Riley a.
gainst the Metropolitan Meat Co. for

al injuries to plaintiff from a runaway
out of defendants yard. The former
summons was quashed because it did
not properly designate the first term
OF court under the new law. For an
example of exhaustive expression the
complaint, prepared by j. p. Ball, at

desired. After showing that defendant
keeps a stable and corral opening up
on Bethel street, the document goes
on to say:

became and was the existing duty and
obligation of said defendant to so
build, construct, safeguard, close, pro-
tect, maintain and keep said corral or
yard and the passageway or exit lead
ing from said corral or yard into said
Bethel street, that the said domestic
animals therein herdsI, kept and main
tanned as aforesaid, could not at will,
or otherwise, run away or escape there
from or therethrough, and run away
and thereby trespass upon, and run
at large over and upon the highways
of said Honolulu, to the danger of
life limb and property of persons law
fully thereon, all of which said boun-
den duty defendant utterly failed and
neglected to do and perform.
