District Magistrate MoEay's oourt was busy for four days this week since Monday trying the casoa of the prominent obc fa bankers and runners who were nrrestod by Sheriff Baldwin and fivo police men last Saturday. Last Sunday Sberiff Baldwin issued worrants of arrest for agentB soiling oho fa tickets and up to 9 o'oloak in tho ovoning there were no l"ss than sixteen agents or runnors behind the priBon doors. Tueir bail was Bet at $100 a piece, but most of them were bailed out by their Chinese friends nnd officers of tho cho fa gambling den. On account of the high bail no less than half a dozen of the ngouts turned and became witnesses for tho prose cution, and they woro vory im portant witnesses for tho govern ment. On Monday, Aug. 7, Magistrate McKay heard tho ene of tho lie public Y3. Ah Lin nnd Ab Sam, tho leading cho fa banker, whose bull wore sot bv tue ouoritr at S50J each. Sheriff Baldwin con ducted tho prosecution for tho government whil- Attorneys Goj. Hons and J. L.

The prosecu tion put on tbe stand several of tho polica who aided iu tho arrest, and also sorao of the Ohiuoso che fa agents who wore converted to the cause of tbe government, and last but not least Shorilt Baldwin himself wont on tho stand and told tho whole story of tbo arrest. Tho defense did not put any do fonBO, but Mr. Hons mado astroug plea on behalf of his olionts. At 0 p. m Judgo MoKny fonnd tho defendants guilty as charged for conducting and assisting in main taimug a cbo fa game in Wailuku during three months last passed, and 13 nod tho defendants 325') apieco. Mr. Hons immediately perfected appeal to tho next D c ember term of the Second Circuit Court at Lahaina. The decision of Judge McKay and tho ponalty imposed upon the prisoners by him wero highly ap proved by tuo loading members or this community, as it is hoped that this most nefarious scheme to rob tbe poor, as Senator Kepoikai tortns it, will porhnps bo abated somehow. During tho long four months whon che fa was boiug run froely in this town in fact, as froo as coffeo shops its do moralizing effoot upon the women and childion and tho mou too, especially tbo poor natives, could bo seeu at ovory stroot corner, nud folt ranrokoeuly nt tho homes of tho poor, benighted, poverty stricken nntivos.

The above gives some idea of tbo sights on Market streot when neariug the times, of drawing tho "wiuuing word" by tho bankors. One of the oho fa bankors was also fined $300 for bribing Captain of Polioe G. GoodueBS, aud several nf tho runners have bcon fined S50 each. Up to dato there has boon $1000 received by the Shoriff as lines from oho fa bankers and runnorH, and most of them havo appealed thoir oases to the moruy of tho jury.
