periixl for which approrn-iations were made in those
primitive days." Reef Knot is doubtless a modern,
and it -would, perhaps, be too much to expect of him
to understand that the Legislature, to "which was
intrusted the authority to make appropriations, met
ti n n uall y in those old days. ' he oppression of "grat
itude" which he seems to Id1 r under, together with
the late rapid way of making appropriations by
' order in Council" has had a tendency to confuse
liis mind as to the true masters of the purse. All
Tcrv excusable, mv friend. The fault was mine in
v , -
not having the power to control the appropriations in
those old days, as well as the press now, so as to make
my replies to you something "better late than never."
Those ' primitive days commenced " with the
advent of plain common sense to the head of the min

artillery chimera to the same position, which hap
pened to be long since the " discovery of gold in Cali

Uandying words is not a very dignified amusement;
however if" Reef Knot" fails to sec the relationship
between his name and " Grummet" it is his misfor

If the propensity for being " tighter" to which
" Iteef Knot" so modestly alludes, has any reference
to cork-screws, I beg to decline the honor of p-illing.

Honolulu, November 1st, 1850.
To the Hon. Wm. L. Lee, President of the Honolulu
Sailor's Home Society :
Sir, I have the honor to transmit to you the Me
morial of the Trustees of the Sailor's Home Society,
together with the resolution adopted at the last meet
ing of the Board of Trustees.
Resolved, That J udge Lee be requested to take this
Memorial, just as it is, and read it to the King in
Privy Council ; and also that he be instructed to state
to His Majesty, that the Board of Trustees of the
Sailor's Home Society were about to sign this memo
rial, and would have done so, had not the justices of
the Supreme Court, members of this Board, informed
them that it contained a request which was contrary
to law.
I remain sir, as ever, truly yours.
J. E. CHAMBERLAIN,
Secretary of the Honolulu Sailor's Home Society.
Honolulu, Aug. 12, 185G.
To His Majesty, Kamehameiia IV., King of the Ha
waiian Islands, in Council :
Sire, may its please Your Majesty :
The undersigned, Trustees of the Honolulu Sailor's
Home Society, beg most respectfully to memorialize
Your Majesty, in reference to the recent licensing of
the ltoyal Hotel on Bethel Square, at the corner of
Merchant and Nuuanu streets, contrary to the assur
ance of the head of the Interior Department to the
Board of Trustees of the said Society, dated May 8th,
1855, and the Prdinance of Your Majesty in Council
on the 21st of the same month, to the same effect.
This license has given rise to recent correspondence
between Your M:jesty's Minister of the Interior and
tle Board of Trustees, unsatisfactory to them in its re
sults, nnd they arc led to believe that all of the facts
were not before Your Majesty's government when ac
tion was taken on the subject.
In order to arrive at just conclusions, it will be ne
cessary to state briefly the facts in the history of the
Home from the begiuniug.
Attention was first directed to this enterprise by a
scries of public meetings held at the Seamen's Chap
el in November, 18-31. The present location of the
Home was sought for this most important reason,
amongst others, to wit, that it was located between
the harbor and the houses to which the sailors resort
ed for intoxicating drinks, iu a prominent position,
and many seamen it was hoped might be attracted to
it, and taved from the latter.
The valuable lot on which the Homo now stands,
then belonged to Your Majesty's government, which
was memorialized and asked to bestow it, for this be
nevolent object. To this memorial a most prompt
nnd liberal response was received in the grant of the
lot for this purpose by His late Majesty in Council,
one of the latest and noblest of his many noble acts.
The individual members of the government also sub
scribed for this noble charity and became efficient
co-operators in carrying out this commendable enter
prise. Upon the assembling of tho legislature a charter
was granted to the organized Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the board on the 3d day of May, 1355, to take
preliminary steps for the erection of a building, it was stated by
oiii' of the members that a lot had been purchased, contiguous to
the one which had been granted for the Home, and a llvtel was
about to be erected, thus interposing a house - for the sale of
rpirits in one of the chisf thoroughfares between the contem p'.at
" cd Home and the harbor. Some of the Trustees present felt so
strongly uion the subject, that they were almost if uct quite, pre
pared to abandon the enterprise of building unless something
could bo done to prevent the opening of such an establishment
iu such, near proximity; and were even ready to assume the lia
bilities of the purchaser of the land and his building contract, if
it were already entered into, at the actual co?t to him, rather
than hare Lis enterprise prosecuted iu that location.
JL committee was appointed to wait upon the Minister of the
Interior, and request that no license might be granted on Bethel
square.
.Responsible mentors of this committee stated explicitly to
His Royal Ilighuesi, the acting Minister, that if the party had
purchased, and feared loss, they would assume his responsibility
i-i the premises, placing him in th same jmsition n3 previous to
purchase. On the Sth of May, the acting Minister addressed a
letter to the Board, stating that as a lieeusa hal been promised,
previous to any objection being raised, it would be granted for
one year from July 1st, 1S55, but not to be renewed hereafter.
Also advising the Trustees to petition the King in Council f r an
ordinance prohibiting the licensing of any house for the sale of
spirituous liquors on the Bethel Block thereafter; which they ac
cordingly did, and such an ordinance was enacted ou the 21t of
May, and cwimunicated to the Board by His E.t. Mr. Allr.i,
then it? presiding oiliccr. The Minister's letter of May Sth, also
Incl;.sed a copy of oive written under his direction by the chief
clerk of his department to the party purchasing, stating explic
itly, that no license would be granted to him to sell spirits after
the first day of July, 1S5G.
Upon these assurances the Trustees relied with implicit con
fidence, ns they had .been wont to do, in other transactions, and
In other capacities, uion the plighted faith of the government.
More than a year passed away, when their attention wa3 called
to the fact, that the sale of spirits was continued at the Hotel,
and the report that a license had been, or was about to be graut
el for another year to its occupant.
To some of them it seemed improbable if not incredible, yet a
meeting was called and a committee appointed to present their
memorial upon the subject to the Minister.
This committee attended to the duty assigned them, and sub
sequently to their viit the ordinance of May 21st, 1S55, was re
voked, and a license for.one year granted to the keeier .of the
Hotel.
The Minister in. his reply to the memorial 3ays: " Thrra was
a previous oUigation to the Hotel kceiK-r, upon the faith of which
he bad made his investments; that to deny his application fur a
license would ruiu him; and that the ordinance of May 21st was
really Toid, by reason of the pre-existing pledge to another party
that it should not have been made; that no injury could arise t
the Home on account of the license, as the distance was but lit
tle greater to otter licensed houses, and that the power to revoke
ita own ordinances was vested in the Council, if other parties
were not prejudiced thereby." It i3 clear that if there was a
pre-existing obligation to the hotel keeper, the later one should
not have been assumed to the Trustees. But all the circum
stances of the transaction indicate that the Minister and Council
we in error, for the Minister stated expressly to tha first com
mittee, that the obligation was but for a year." If the Hotel keep
er considered it longer by implication, he had no reason for so
d.ing, as he was expressly ami officially informed in writing,
that his license ironld not be renewed after tho expiration or
the year for which it was pr;ntsed, and he could Lave rev ived
the return of his money, but, he preferred the risk, and if it is a
hardship, it was voluntarily assumed.
From the principle in volved iu the declaration of the inhe
rent power of the Council to reverse or revoke its own ordinan
ces, where other parties are interested, without their knowledge
or consent, upon the assumption that they will not be pr. judic-
ta tnerery, we

For other party to constitute itself tiv judge for the other, to
declare that the fulfilment of the obligator! would work no ben

cal subterfuges too often resorted to by ether governments and
politicians ore justly chargeable on this". Its reputation abroad
for uprightness has leen tlie tower of its strength. God grant
that the pen of history miy never be called to record it depart
ure from these principles.
But, Sir, infallibility is not an attribute given toman. Kings
and subjects, governments and people are alike liable to err. It
is then no disparagement that they sometimes do so. It detracts
notlung from their dignity, but true nobleness demands that when
errors have transpired, they should be corrected. Such a course
is not only honorable, but adds immeasurably to the mortd
strength ff the erring party. It impart a confidence iu his in-te-Tity
and uprightness which notliing eise can do.
We believe that Your Majesty's government not having all
the tacts fully before it, has erred in revoking the ordinance of
May 21, 1S55, without consulting the party at whose- request,
and in whose favor it was enacted, and we now nost earnestly
pray Your Majesty f jr its re-enactmcct, and that the step giant
ing a license for this present yeas be retraced. .
TVe have before shown tint any reasonable expectation on the
part of the recipient, from any encouragement received frtan gov
ernment, was unfounded. -
"We beg to assure Your Majesty ol' our sincere snd "earnest de
sire fur the prosperity of your government ami-people, and inour
v lew no step could be better calculated to promote this end than
the action for which we pray.
It would add new strength to the confidence hitherto reposed
in the integrity and uprightness of the administration of the
affairs of tlus realm, and the fidelity with which, unswayed by
personal considerations, it is determined as far as possible to
meet all of its plighted obligations, whilst we must add, that
silence or inaction would, we fear, inflict a wound which may
never be healed.
Braying for a long life and prosperous reign for Your Majesty,
we beg to subscribe ourselves,
Your Majesty's obedient servants.

Resolved, That having heard Mr. Lee's views in relation to
the forbidding and granting of licenses to sell spirits on the Beth
el Block in Honolulu, we are convinced that this Council had no
power to pass the ltesolution of the 21st May, 1S55, forbidding
the granting of spirit licenses on said Bethel Block, much as
said Block is included in the district fixed by the Legislature
within which such licenses may be granted; but that we regret
that such ltesolution was rescinded without first consulting with
the Trustees of the Sailor's Home, and that Mr. Lee be requested
to convey to said Trustees our regrets at the unfortunate differ
ences that have arisen therefrom.
By order of Privy Ceuucil.
