FROM THE NEVvSAlAN'S NOTES

out in the Makiki district there is a |
little residence street called Matlock
avenue. It is short street, opening
onto Piikoi at one end and onto Kee.
aumoku at the other, and can be en-.
tered only from these thoroughfares.
Consequently II is not very well
known to many residents Of Homo
lulu. except those who are fortunate
enough to live upon it.
Matlock avenue is the official name
of the street, but it has another title
which is more expressive and better
nharacterizes it. Jealous persons who
are not favored by the gods, and con.
sequently may not live on the little
pvenuc, call it Wedlock avenue, be.

wardness Of the jurys verdict in Il
ong and holly contested case in the
local courts. The subject of dispute
was piece Of land worth about five
hundred dollars, which was claimed
by both plaintiff and defendant in the
suit. The defendant had possession of
the land and the plaintiff brought
Cjcctment proceedings.
The case occupied ten days and sew

lawyers in Honolulu were engaged on
each side. The jury fees and other
costs of court alone amounted to more
than the value of the land in dispute
all of which expenses come out Of the
pockets of the taxpayers.

nearly ten days been sitting listening

and they wanted to get ride of the
whole business and go home.
