Before Supreme
Court.

the bench to try II are officially In
terested In the outcome. 1t IL the ques-
tlon OF the authority OF Circuit Court
Judges to hold court at chambers, in
equity, probate or any other jurisdic-
ton. There Is no question about IL,
so far as the old Hawaiian law Is con-
cerned but the point has been raised
as To whether Circuit Judge has any
Jurisdiction out OF court term. under
the following provision of the Organic
Act
''Sec. 81. That the judicial power of
the Territory shall be vested In one
supreme court, circuit courts. and in
such inferior courts as the legislature
may from time to time establish. And
until the legislature shall otherwise
provide, the laws of Hawaii heretofore
in force concerning the several courts
and their jurisdiction and procedure
shall continue In force except as here
in otherwise provided"
The matter in which the question is
brought to an issue is writ of prohi-
bition sued out of the Supreme Court
to prevent Circuit Judge Gear from
taking any jurisdiction of the proceed
ings for removing the guardian of An
blt l. ~
AN two members of the Supreme
Court are disqualified in the matter,
Circuit Judges De Bolt and Robinson
will sit as substitutes. An old possi-
blity of the situation here looms up.
Among the many attacks on certain
Hawaiian laws as being contrary to, or
inconsistent with, the Organic Act, the
question of the validity of Judge Ro-
binson's holding of office has been rais-
ed. The appeal of Il. S. Boyd from
conviction of embeZZlement Is partly
grounded on a denial of the power OF
the legislature to create a third Judge
ship in the First Judicial Circuit. AS
the position thus created Is held by
Judge Robinson, the determination Of
this point may have the effect of maxi
ing void anything the Supreme Court
decides with him as one of it's mem-
bers. N
Altogether, it would appear as II one
of the most necessary pieces of legis-
lation the Territory requires from Con-
gress is something to straighten out
all tangles in the system of Territorial
Jurisprudence.
