Divit'ing Criminal Work.
About month ago an arrangement
was made between myself and Mr..
Peters, then Deputy Attorney General,
as to the division of criminal work in
our departments. Mr.. Peters has as
sumed charge of all felony cases and
my department of all misdemeanors,
appeals and former indictments found
under the old ruling by our Circuit
Court on misdemeanor charges. There
Is now and will be a vast number of
these appeal cases to be tried. Your
Board may get some inkling of the
situation when on the 18th Of Novem-
Der my department moved on sixty
four of these appeal cases. This does
not take into consideration the other
appeal cases and indictments Of mis-.
demeanors already pending on the cal.
endar on that date. There has been
little prosecution of these cases in the
Circuit Court during November, for
the reason that the time of the Circuit
Court has been entirely consumed In
the trial of a murder case which Is
now pending, together with matters at
tended to by the Attorney Generals
department in the nature of felong
| cases.
Waiting on Murder.
| As soon as the murder charge is dis
posed of, my department will be busy
in the prosecution of these cases. |
beg to call attention to the fact that
in nine-tenths of the cases tried in the
Police Court, wherein the decision of
the District Magistrate is adverse to
the defendant. appeals are regularly
noted to the Circuit Court. These cases
require just as much preparation and
labor as u felony case. There are now
on the Circuit Court calendar eighty.
eight appeal cases pending. This mum.
her will soon be materially increased
for the reason that appeals are being
daily perfected from the decision of the
District Magistrate in criminal cases.
Total Fines Imposed.
During November the total fines i'm
posed In Honolulu for gambling was
Sl,770.S5, and the fines and costs paid
out were si72.55. The total fines and
costs imposed in che ia cases was
S212.50, and the fines and costs paid
was S11.5O. The total fines and costs
In Honolulu for November for all Of
lenses was s2.616S5; amount paid,
s77l.60. Appeals have been taken 20
the Circuit Court in all cases WEE
fines have not been paid.
1t is with regret that ! inform -
of the resignation of Mr.. +. W. MiiNuf.
ton, former Deputy County Attor- =.
Mr.. Milverton's resignation took ? -. t
on the LIST inst, and he is now IL ,..a
employ of the Attorney Generals De'
partment.
