LIHUE. March THE Kauai grand

Territory of Hawaii, for the March,
A. D. 1908, term, do herewith respect
fully present our report, as follows:
After having been duly sworn as
grand jurors, and James Edwards be-
ing duly appointed by your Honor as
our foreman, We retired to the grand
jury-room and elected c. B. Gray as
our clerk, whereupon we proceeded to
hear the evidence and take action, as
indicated, in the following cases:
Territory of Hawaii VS.. Maluhia
(w). Charged with perjury. No bill.
Territory of Hawaii VS.. Manuel G..
Lukini. Charged with statutory
crime with a female under the age
of fourteen years. A true bill found
Whereupon your grand jury adjourn
ed, to meet at nine o'clock a. m. March
5. At nine o'clock a. m. March your
grand jurors appeared before your
Honor, and, after rollcall, all members
being present. your grand jurors again
took up considerat ton of matters still
pending before them, with the follow
ing results, to wit:
of Ia VIC
Charged with perjury. No bill.
Territory of Hawaii VS.. HUI Pong.
Charged with assault. No bill.
Territory of Hawaii VS.. Henry
Naumu. Charged with assault with a
weapon obviously and imminently
dangerous to life. A true bill found.
Your grand jury desires at this time
to express hearty appreciation Of the
improvements made in the District
Courtroom and the ground around the
same, the credit for which is due to
the Honorable Marston Campbell, the
present Superintendent of Public
Works. Not only have the above i'm
provements' been made, but the court
room in which your grand jurors hold
their sessions has been reprinted, new
chairs have been provided, and safe
for the keeping of important papers
has been provided for the District
Magistrate.
The condition of the Jail in this cir
cult has been investigated by your
grand jurors. and although in rather
poor and dilapidated condition, yet it
does not seem that it would be wise
at this time to expend any large
amount of funds in it's repair. 1t
would seem better that the county
make use of this present structure
until money can be appropriated for
the construction of building COM
mensurate with the needs of the
county.
We herewith hand to your Honor in
dictments in the cases in which true
bills have been found, as. mentioned
above Respectfully submitted,
JAMES EDWARDS, Foreman.
C. B. GRAY, Clerk.
