CURTAILS POWER
OF DISTRICT COURT
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT
SUIT FOR TAXES OVER $500 CAN
NOT BE BROUGHT BEFORE IT.

The Supreme Court handed down an
opinion this morning in the matter of
the appeal brought by the defendant,
in the case of James L. Holt. tax as
SCISSOR, VS.. the Hawaii Land Company,
Ltd. 1t was an appeal from the dis
trict magistrate. The opinion, written
by Justice Hartwell. is. in part, as fol-
lows:
Plaintiff brought an action before
the district magistrate of Honolulu to
recover of the defendant the sum of
81, 612 80 being the amount of judg-
ment for $1S79.2O which the plaintiff
had recovered in an action before the
district magistrate December 4, 1903,
less the sum of S266 80 which the de-
PENDANT had since paid on account
thereof, also to recover the sum of
$3.50. 80 for taxes assessed against the
defendants property for the years 1903,
1904, 1905 and 1906 together with ten per
cent penalty in addition thereto and in
The magistrates record shows that
the defendant demurred to the plain
tiff's complaint on the ground that the
court had no jurisdiction, that is not
suit for taxes and pleaded in bar to the
first count of the complaint stating
that he would admit that the second
count was correct; that the plea was
overruled whereuTon the magistrate
heard the PLAINTIFFS evidence to the eff
feet that the defendant owed the tax
office on the first count $1612 80, with
interest, 1896 IS. The magistrate gave
judgment on both counts for the sum of
81, 4S6 49, from which the defendant APP
pealed to this court on the ground that
the magistrate has no jurisdiction in
this case as the amount involved in
the suit is more than $500 and partly
based on a judgment rendered by this
court and the amount of the judgment
is more than $780," being the limit of
the magistrates jurisdiction in all civil
actions except as otherwise provided"
Section 1862, r. L.
The plaintiff bases jurisdiction upon
Par. of Section 1859 r. L., providing
that the assessor may enforce the pay
ment of taxes by suit or action in
assumpsit, in his own name, on behalf
of the Territory of Hawaii for the
amount of taxes, penalties and costs
and interest, in any district court, ir-
respective of the amount claimed.
Undoubtedly the plaintiff might have
enforced collection of the earlier judg-
ment by process of the court in which
he obtained it or he might use his
judgment as an original cause of ac-
ton and bring suit thereon in the cir
cult court, but not before the district
magistrate who only had jurisdiction
in civil cases up to $780, The original
action for the amount of the tax was
properly brought before the magistrate
| Notwithstanding the amount claimed"
The action on the judgment, however
is not on the original cause Of action.
The defendants demurrer or plea
| whichever it was, TO the first count is
sustained, the judgment appealed from
is reversed and the cause is remanded
to the magistrate with leave to enter
Judgment for the plaintiff on the second
count and for such further proceedings
as may be appropriate.

The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1907-07-06

tariff reform, advocated additional
railroad supervision aud regula-
ton, urged the repeal of the 18th
amendment and the modification
lof the 18th, and in his closing
speech defended his administra-
tion as Governor and showed
that he bad kept faith with the
people and lived up to his CAM
paign pledges of four years ago.
The Governor replied to vari-
GUS attacks on him by Mr.. Will
liams, in nearly every instance
provoking enthusiastic applause
by the way the point was turned
on his opponent.
Both of the distinguished gem
tlemen controlled themselves and
preserved their dignity and equi-
poise admirably. The repeated
efforts of some of the Williams
claquers to rattle" the Governor
by impertinently attempting to
dictate how he should answer his
opponent, was a dismal failure.
When the speaking closed, ad-
mirers of the Governor, proud of
the manner in which he had ac-
quilted himself, rushed to the plat
form to offer their congratulations
and almost bore him off his feet.
When he finally reached the steps
of the platform, four stout Var
daman men lifted him into chair
and bore him triumphantIy on
their shoulders to carriage
several yards away, followed by
one of the most enthusiastic
crowds we have ever seen, when
the~long procession, thus formed,
started back to town with ban
ners flying, leaving the sorely
discounted Williams men and
their chief feeling like poor boy
at frolic. The banners bore in
large letters such striking phrases
as "VARDAMAN, LEADER OF
THE GREAT MAJORITY;"
MISSISSIPPI A L W A Y 81
LEADS-SHE NEVER FOL-
LOWS;" JOHN SHARP HAS

sents and his followers should

MISCONSTRUED.

The editor is advised that some
persons have misconstrued or mis-
interpreted a part of what was
said in Wednesdays Leader about
Sid Hoskins skipping his bond
and escaping the sentence of the
court, as an intentional reflection
upon the official conduct and in
tegrity of Circuit Clerk S. T. Oh
iver. We wish to say here with
all the candor and emphasis at our
command that we had no such
thought or intention. Our pur-
pose was simply to give the main
facts in the history of this case,
especially what has occurred since
the decision of the Supreme
Court, for the information of the
public, as notable example of how
the efforts of good citizens and the
courts may be baked and mock
| ed, at times, by law breakers and
those in sympathy with them.
Circuit Clerk Oliver stands SO
high, and justly SO, in the estima-
tion of the people of this county
and of all who know him, it never
even occurred to US that any body
would think, even for moment,
that any reflection on him was in
tended. While the dates given
about the receipt of the Supreme
Court mandate and the issuance of
the capias pro finem to the Sheriff
we're perfectly correct, extreme
illness in Circuit Clerk Oliver's
family just at that time as we'll as
the demands of other official du-
ties. is an all-suficient explana-
tion of any seemingly unnecessary
delay on bis part. Besides Hos
kins known presence in Brookha-
ven from day to day before the
caplas was issued and the fact that
he was under a $1,000 bond to an
swer when needed, was naturally
reason enough for both the Clerk
and Sheriff to suppose be could be
found when the necessary papers
were ready to serve. There are
several ways in which an interest
ed party could have obtained the
information which caused him to
skip just when be was wanted, for
which the Circuit Clerk could In
mo just sense be held responsible.
Which of these ways be obtained
lit, The Leader does not know and
makes no charges against any one.
We will only add that in The
Leaders estimation, If $. RI.
IOliyer isn't gentleman, an hon
est man and . trustworthy, con-
|scientious and faithful public Off
lcial, Lincoln county has never
Ind one and never will.
