(From Thursday AuNertiser.D
This is provoking" Miss Nakuina on
the judgment seat exclaimed.
Four lawyers were clamoring for a
continuance of case before her
Honor
The Commissioner of Private Ways
and Water Rights had already positive
| ly refused to continue the hearing a
| fortnight, and now the lawyers were
trying to avoid any day this week and
| the day before Christmas and the day
after Christmas.
This case has dragged along for a
year and has kept me on this island
to the detriment OF my private inter-
ests," Mrs. Nakuina said.
1t is the claim of Annie X. Woolsey
against E. C. winston and Lee Let for
a three-foot right of way said to be
encroached upon by one of Wintons
buildings down in the Asiatic section.
Magoon & Lightfoot and A. G. Kaulu-
kou are for the plaintiff, Holmes &
Stanley for winston and r. w. Brock
ons and w. W. Thayer for Let.
| For every near date suggested by the
| Commissioner the attorneys had cases
all around in the other courts. Mr..
| Stanley urged patne.ically that 1t be
not the day -eiore Christmas and al
most hit the danger line between bench
and bar when the day after Christmas
was mentioned.
The courts little granddaughter had
a birthday coming on one of the days
considered She was there, too, perch
ed upon the bench, looking wondering
ly down at the bad men worrying her
grandma.
