JUDGE De BOLT

TRY to proceed properly, Mr.. Hogan"
said Judge De Bolt this morning with
a stern judicial air, after sustaining an
objection to one of Hogan's questions
to a juror in the George Harrison case
Cant l ask the juror the question:"
said Hogan, who had just read 1.-THE
whole indictment to a juror, asking
him if he knew whether the defendant
had done the act alleged or not.
"Not in that way" replied De Bolt.
There is no need for the court to tell
you your duty, for you know it. You
will proceed properly or you will not be
allowed to proceed at ALL"
Hogan at the opening of the case be-
gan on the jury with great vigor and
at one time the court intimated that
he was making a farce of the proceed
ings. Harrison is charged with shoot
ing at his wife and the indictment con-
tains the usual statements about the
pistol loaded with leaden ball, with
which the alleged assault was commit
ted Hogan proceeded to question
jurors about their knowledge of pistols
and balls. Deputy Attorney General
Fleming objected.
THE indictment says that the de-
PENDANT shot this woman with pistol
and leaden bullet" shouted Hogan. 81
want to know if this juror knows any
thing about them. What do you know
about pistols? Do you know anything
about balls?"
An objection was sustained, also sew
eral more objections and then Hogan
proceeded to incorporate the whole in
dictment in a question to the juror,
. lnf
ant had committed the act. This was
the question which exhausted the
courts patience and resulted in the
heavy call down given to the attorney.
Hogan subsidized, accepted the juror
he was questioning and then accepted
all the rest without further eXamina-
tions.
John Kidwel one of the jurors, made
objection during the trial to Hogan's
methods of cToss-eXaminatiOn, and
Judge De Bolt took occasion to COM
ment severely again. Kidwell said it
was impossible for the jurors not to be
prejudiced against the defendant by
the actions of his counsel. Judge De
Bolt said that he jurors should not al
low such actions to influence them. He
said that the jurors were there to do
their duty no matter if officers of the
court did not act as they should, and
that the members of the jury should
not allow the actions Of the counsel to
influence them against the defendant.
officer Spencer and c. ]. Murasky
testified that they saw the defendant
shoot at his wife, and Mrs. Harrison

Where a forfeiture of term is
claimed for a breach of a condition to
pay taxes it is not error to admit evil
dence of the amount of taxes assessed,
when the same became delinquent and
the amount of the penalty incurred.
The lessee covenanted to pay all
taxes and assessments levied or as
sessed against the demised premises,
and one of the express conditions in
the lease, was that in case of the
breach of any of the covenants to be
observed by the lessee, the lessor, after
ten days default may without
any notice or demand enter into and
upon the land and thereby determine
the estate hereby created and in a
suit for summary possession for breach
of this condition, held that it was not
necessary for the lessor to pay the
taxes or to demand that the lessee pay
them before insisting on the forfeiture
thereby accruing."

MATTER

Judge Robinson has granted a motion
to strike out a scandalous and imper-
tinent portion of the complaint in the
injunction suit of John Lucas VS.. the
American Hawaiian Engineering Com
pany and Superintendent Holloway, by
which the Brewers wharf contract was
held up. The parts of the answer
stricken out are those in which defend
ants allege that the suit was brought
to crafty private vengeance and would
never have been started but for the suit
of Kendall VS.. Lucas, in which a con-
ract of Lucas Bros. with Holloway was
held up. A motion to dissolve the in
junction has been filed, also a bond by
Lucas in the sum of $1,000, with Harry
Armitage and l.. NJ. WhitehOuse as
sureties.
