/ A CELEBRATED CASE.
Katsutaro Takamoto. charged with
murder in the first degree. who is be-
ing tried in Judge De Bolts court, is
the person who was responsible, in
part, for Deputy Sheriff Kekuoha's i'm
parchment trial by the Board of County
Supervisors. Katsutaro is alleged to be
ton boss of the Oahu Railway. After
his arrest he was placed in the custody
OF a small boy. This appeared to be
the situation when Sheriff Brown and
Chester Doyle came upon the scene in
an automobile from Honolulu. Charges
We're preferred against Kekuoha and
his trial resulted in his dismissal from
office.
A jury was finally selected about 2:30
and witnesses for the prosecution were
called and examined. Deputy Attorney
General Prosser is prosecuting and
Samuel Noarsand Ella Long defending.
The jury panel was exhausted early in
the day and a new panel of 26 jurors
summoned. One who failed to respond
promptly was George Angus. He was
telephoned to, and on arriving in the
courtroom frankly stated that the mat
ter had slipped his mind during stress
of business and he said he wouldn't do
it again.
LAND TRANSFER RULES.
Judge Weaver of the Court Of Land
Registration has issued the following:
It having been brought to the atten-
ton of the Judge of the Court of Land
Registration that parties claim the
right to certificates of a portion of
registered land, not mapped or plat
ted, and a question having arisen,
under Sections 2437 and 2451. as to the
statutory right of the owners of reg
istered land to convey portions of the
same which are not plated on the orig
inal map, on file, or any amendment
thereof, without submitting a new
map containing plat of the lot sub
divided, for approval by the Court
under Section 2437 and the Court hav-
ing considered the matter, is of the
opinion that said sections of the Re-
vised Statutes do not authorize as
sistant registrars to issue any certif-
icates of title except upon the whole
land mapped or a portion thereof
plainly plated on the official map as
required by said section.
The Assistant Registrar is not re-
CURED to assume any responsibility for
the correctness of any subdivision of
any lot, however apparent and simple.
This is the duty of the Court.
1t is therefore ordered that when
ever any conveyance of a portion of
any registered land is presented to the
Assistant Registrar, he shall refer the
same to the Court of Land Registra-
ton, with any map or plat accom-
panying the same, for approval of
such map, before issuing any certifi-
cate thereon; and that until such sub
division is approved by the Court no
certificate of title be issued on said
conveyance.
Upon the approval of such map. the
Assistant Registrar is authorized to
issue certificate of title covering sub
divisions thereon designated upon con-
veyanceS conveying the same.
The map of subdivisions submitted
lily checked, need not be prepared with
all details as required by rules gov
erning original maps. but should con-
tain sufficient data to plainly plat the
subdivision intended when referred to
the original map. A simple plat may
be prepared on tracing linen. to be !
filed with the original map. emitting
data shown on original map as to 10
cation points, but detailed as to lots
with designations by numbers or let
tiers.
