SOME THING NEW
IN LOWR|E CASE
Defendants Move to Carry It
to Supreme Court Other
Court News.

Defendants in the suit of W. j. Low
RE against H. P. Baldwin and others,
/ for 100000 on contract, move that
questions of law be reserved to the
Supreme Court. They will ask to be
heard on the motion by Judge De Bolt
on Friday morning at o'clock.
The questions go back to rulings all
ready made by the Circuit Court-such
! as granting leave to amend the COM
pIaint-and ask if the demurrers TO
the amended complaint, which are
specified, should be sustained.
An affidavit by David L. Withing-
ton is attached, going to show that
whether plaintiff intends to try his
cause in Honolulu or in Boston. He
had made efforts to get at the de-
sired information, because the expense
of trying the cause in either Honolulu
or Boston would be very great and
preparation therefor involve months of
work. Having made a careful examin-
alton of the questions proposed to be
reserved for hearing by the Supreme
Court he believes there is merit in the
conventions of defendants on the prop
osition of law, and ''he believes that
the preparation of said cause by both
the plaintiff and the defendants, and
the expenditure of time and money in
trying the same, may be materially
curtailed and a more speedy termina-
ton of said cause had by a deef-
sive determination by an appellate
tribunal
