THE GOVERNORS VETO.
Early in the afternoon the following
message was received from the Gov
ernor:
! Herewith / return, without my APP
prevail, House Bill No. rs, entitled AN
Act to regulate the conduct Of the trial
of civil and criminal causes and to re-
peal sections 1886 and 1897 OF the re-
vised laws of Hawaii
1.-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
4 California statute, except that 1t de-
prives the court of the power to allow,
for good reason and on the offer OF
new evidence, either side to reopen the
case. The present procedure in our
lAcourts allows this to be done, and 1t
conforms to the law in force in al
most every other jurisdiction.
1.-THE bill provides for the repeal OF
section 1886 of the Revised Laws OF
| Hawaii This section states that the
court may allow non-suit or a verdict
for the defendant, If in its opinion nc
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 mas
legally made out case.
Il can see little or no reason FOL
changing the present method of tria
IN civil and criminal actions; nor d.
I believe it advisable to deprive Judges
of the right to non-suit case.
