As reported in the Aivki:tisE!: of '2, Ah nit. the point appeal-d upon was the valid ity ( a luixr contract made Wtwecn jarties lth of whom are Hawaiiaus and written only in the Hawaiian laiinau'e. It was contended on tx half of the defendant that he could not beheld Ifound by the contract l-ciiuse it was not in accordance with the fi r?-t section of the Masters and Servants Act lds, which reads as follows : "All contracts for service between masters and servants, where either rf the contractiuo parties j is of Hawaiian birth, shall be written and printed j in both the Iliwaiiar. and English lan:iat,'es. Xo such contracts shall have flVct in law when ! executed in one lan-ua 'e only. The contract I was made prior to the passing of the Act of 1S" which contains a provision for the cuse when j lMth parties are Hawaiian. The decision of the Court, which was civen by Judc MeCuIIy, was j m (av;r of the piaititiS-, on the ground that the ; trm either " does not inclnib "both," nor j d es " lx-;h " the greater intend and therefore1 liielud" th. less- either."
