ordering the Grand Jury to make in
vestigations Of other affairs that hap
pened within the Jurisdiction OF this
court some time ago. or the thirty
nine cases on the civil calendar, fifteen
have already been continued by mo-
tions and stipulations by attorneys.
and three have been discon tinued. One
civil case was heard yesterday, Lai VS..
Frank Correa damage suit for $4,000.
Coke for plaintiff and Richardson and
Vivas for defendant. The suit was for
damages for unmercifuT eviction OF
Lai, native, his wife and family OF
six children, their ages ranging be-
tween IA and 6, by their Portuguese
landlord Correa. Some time ago, Mr..
Correa called upon his tenant for rent,
and the latter being unable to dig up
on demand, asked for further time.
Mr.. Correa Is not the kind Of a man to
be easily worked upon by such soft
requests. so he started on his work OF
clearing Lai and his family out in the
cold for the night 1t was a most tenn
pestuous night and the rain did pour
that night as 1t never did before
There was no house near by so Lai
put up few boards near a stable and
told his wife and children to sleep
there for the night, and to commend
their souls to their Maker for protec-
ton for the night. Correa threw every
body out, children, trunks and all, safe
ly locked his house and went away, and
the cries of the young ones for shelter
for the night had as much effect upon
him as upon the crickets that kept
vigil with them during that stormy and
! perilous night For this treatment, Lai
instituted the suit and the jury rem
dered verdict in his favor and award
ed damages OF $500.
Judge Kalua will hear next week the
libel for divorce OF Mrs. Mahiki Ferre-
ira VS.. John Ferreira. Vivas for libel
liant. The injunction to keep Mr. Fer
reira away from his wife during the
pending of the suit will also be heard
that day.
