DISSENTING
OPINIONS

Phe following resume of dissenting
opinions in the Supreme Court is
made by Chief Justice Hartwell The
Star hopes to obtain from him an
article upon the value of dissenting
opinions:
ut appears upon examination that
there are twelve dissenting opinions
in the 1876 decisions of the Supreme
Court contained in Volume 10 of the
Hawaiian Reports, covering a period
of one year and about nine months.
"The first dissenting opinion is in
the case against the County of Ha-
waii for injury caused by negligence
of the County's road employees, and
was by Wilder, who also gave the
next dissenting opinion upon the ef-
feet on a replevin bond Of changing
the valuation first placed on the prop
erty replevined in the Bierce case. The
opinion of the Court in each of these
cases was drawn by Ballou. Ballou
dissented in one case, an action of
ejectment against the YVailuku Sugar
Co. upon the right to change the
venue.

There were no other dissenting
opinions during that year.
I'm the last eight months there
was one dissenting opinion by Hart
well, when the right of a lessee to re-
cover fire claim for loss of build
ing erected by him on his leased
premises, was up.
During the same period there were
four dissenting opinions by Wilder,
three of them upon the meaning and
legal effect of the license laws relat-
ing to laundries, fishing boats, and
auction sales of fish, and one upon
the effect in an action to quiet title of
construction placed in former case
upon a will.
1.-TWO dissents were by Perry, one
upon the time allowed after minority
to disaffirm a deed by a minor, and
another upon the effect of certain in
structions in an action of trespass
against the Waikiki Sugar Co.
In addition to the dissenting opin-
ions by the Justices, there was one by
Judge De Bolt in the Fern election
case and one by Judge Robinson upon
