THE GOVERNORS VETO.
Early in the afternoon the following
message was received from the Gov
ernor:
Herewith I return without my APP
prevail House Bill No. IS, entitled An
Act to regulate the conduct of the trial
of civil and criminal causes and to re-
peal sections 1896 and 1877 of the re-
vised laws of Hawaii
THE purpose of this bill is to change
the procedure of trials in Circuit
Courts which has been in operation In
Hawaii for many years, and to adopt
the procedure of those States which
have a code The bill conforms to the
California statute, except that it de-
prives the court of the power to allow,
for good reason and on the offer or
new evidence either side to reopen the
case. The present procedure in our
courts allows this to be done, and it
conforms to the law in force in al
most every other jurisdiction.
THE bill provides for the repeal or
section 1896 of the Revised Laws or
Hawaii. This section states that the
court may allow non-suit or verdict
for the defendant if in it's opinion no
case has been made out. The passage
of this act would indicate that the
Legislature desires every case to be
decided by the jury, regardless OF
whether the prosecution or plaintiff has
legally made out a case
Il can see little or no reason for
changing the present method of trlaI
in civil and criminal actions; nor do
1 believe it advisable to deprive judges
of the right to non-suit a case
