PUBLISHED AND EDITED BY HENRY M. WHITNEV. WEDNESDA Y. JANUARY 17, 1877. Supreme Court of the Ilawalinn I:iimI. OCTOHF.R TERM, 1 8 7 6. JOHN H. CONEY r.. JAS..I. D01VSET1. Opixion of A. Francis Judd. This is no action in which 810 000 are claimed a ilamnees for the trespass of the defendant's cattle opon the land " Honnnlinli." in Ewa. Oahu. the properly of the plaintiff, since Oct. ICth. 1875. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintifi of $200. and a motion is made to set aside this verdict and erunt it oew trial, on the ground that the jory most have mistaken or disregarded the instructions of the court on the effect of certain leases under which the defendant justified, or that the jury misunderstood the evidence. The first lease in qnestiun is dated March 3d. 1846. and. running for twenty-five years from the 1st of February of that year, expired on the lt of February, 1871. It demises to John Meek and his heirs, the kula land at Lihue. and the privilege that his cattle should be undisturb ed at llonooliuli, if Ibey should go there. The second lease is dated 15th of July. 1851, and leases to John Meek and his heirs and as signs the land called Waimanalo, at llonouhuli. particularly as follows : The knla and the kna bini and the rights appertaining t heroin, and the I'oaliinas, the river with ail the rights appertain ing thereto. It gives the boundaries as follows : On I he mauka side the In mis previously leased to John Meek, that is, the kulti of Lihue and he kula of Honouliuli ; on the makai Bides Nunnkuli nod the Koolina. This lease expired on the 5th of July, 1876. The third lease is dated the 16th of February. 1853, and it being for twenty-five years, does not expire until the 16th of February, 1878. By this lease there is conveyed to John Meek, his heirs and assigns, all the remainiug portions of the leaeor's kula land at Honouliuli : this being explained as follows : All parts of this kula land cot included in the previous leases made tietrmen A. Keluabonui, M. Kekauonohi und Jno. Meek for that land called Libue. on the 3d of March, 1846, und another lease between J. II. L. Moalelea and John Meek, of all that land called Wuimenalo, on the I5th of July, 1851, the renis of these two lands shall continue and their lease, until the expiration thereof, they are not in cluded in this lease. Before considering the re servations, which are made at length and with considerable particularity, Let us eo on lo the fourth lease, which is dated i lie 1st of February. 1871, aud which con veys nil ol thai certain piece or parcel of land situated in the Abupuaa of Honouliuli. district of Kwa, island of Ouliu, known as the Hi of Lihue, for seven years, and which will not ex pire unlil the 1st of Fubruury, 1878. The plaintiff claims that lease No. 1 conveyed not only Lihue but a portion of the kula of Honouliuli, uud builds up an argument in eup of I his from the words of description of Waiinu nalo, above given, in which ibe niuuku boundary of Waimanalo is stated lo be the kula of Lihue, and the kula of Hooouliuli, and thai the portion of Honouliuli conveyed by the first lease aud not included io the third lease, was nol covered by the fourth lease, which was a lease of the Hi of Lihue only. The plaintiff claims that as there wos abundant evidence that the defendant's cat tle pastured upon this tract of land within the diiles in which ihis Irespnss is laid, the award of '.he jury of 3200 is far from excessive and should be sustained. But can this position of the plaintiff be sustained ? The first leuafi conveyed only Libue, the lessor covenanted in addiliou that the lessee's cutlle should be undisturbed on Honotiliuli, if they went there. This does not lease any por tion of Honouliuli outside of Lihue, but only protected the lessee from being held liable for trespass if his cattle strayed on Honouliuli This view is strengthened by the wording of lease No. 3. made in 1853. which shows the in terpretation put by the purlies on their previous leases after seven years of dealings with each other as landlord and tenant. This lease No. 3 distinctly says that the lease of 1846 was for that land called I.ihue, and lhat the lease of 1851 was for that land called Waimanalo. Now, as this lease No. 3 conveyed all parts of the kula of Honouliuli, not incluried in leases No. 1 ami 2. it conveys all of Honouliuli except Lihue and Waimanalo und the reservations. In a former case between the parties to this suit, the court held that if there exists an am biguity, in the lease, then such construction must prevail as is most strong neuir t the cove nantor, for he might have expressed himself more clearly. But there is no ambiguity here, except, perhaps, the exemption from liability for trespass on Honouliuli, and upon the principle just etuted it must be construed to be a mere license, the actual territory over which the license was granted in lease No. 1 being leased by in denture No. 3. Waimanalo is described in the second lease as being bounded on the nmuka side by kula of Lihue and of Hooouliuli. This cannot be ex plained except upon the theory lhat its extent was not at that time well defined. It is clear that the plaintiff does not claim now lhat Waimanalo stretches up to Lihue, and I am inclined to read the description in this way. The land previously leased to John Meek, that is the kula of Lihue and the knla of Honouliuli on the mauka side. Certainly, if Waimanalo is an Hi at one end of Honouliuli.it must have for one boundary the main body of the land of Honouliuli. where it joins the same. The clause " and the knla of Honouliuli." is not necessarily modified by the clause the land leised to John Meek. It is claimed further by the plaintiff that as the lease of Waimanalo particularizes kula and kuahiwi as being two distinct classes of land, the kula being low land and kuahiwi being mountain land, and as the third lease does not mention specifically the kuahiwi of Honouliuli, it must be considered as intended to be excluded. I am of the opinion that in ibis lease No. 3. 'kula' means land not kalo land, however this may be, the 'kuahiwi' is not excepted in the largo num ber of reservations made, and although the lease does not convey the right to actually take the wood in the kuahiwi, ii leases the right ol pas turage therein, for the kaahiwi is a part of "keia oina knla i komo ole iloko o na hoolimalima mua." (Ibis kula laud not included in the previous leases). To lease the whole of a kula land, re serving certain specific portions and then to say that this does not cover kuahiwi or pali, pua, mauna. awaawa or other portions of land to which various topographical terms may be applied would be disingennoaB, and it is so manifestly contrary to the intention of the parties as eathered from all these instruments as not to be countenanced When the testimony of Mr. J. H. Wood is considered, who testifies that Waimanaln is worth nothing for pasturage at present, as there is nothing green on it, it is clear that the amount of $200. if awarded for damage for trespass on this land, is excessive, for if the jury found that defendant's cattle were allowed to remain on this land an unreasonable time after the lease ex pired, the damage awarded should have been bat nominal and not beyond the statutory amount of 123, els. for each animal. The reservations in lease No. 3 are as follows: "These are the places reserved to the party of the first part ; the fish ponds in said kula land, tuv ind fish in them, and two lots intended to be en closed hereafter : also MnkumeDa adjoining the eucloeed taro lands : and also that piece between Kualakai and C. W. Vincent's lot; lhat place knewn as Ka pa I" hi is also reserved ; the sea fishery and its rights are also reserved, similar lo the Waimanalo sen-ris-ht reservation ; also the Pa eina at Honouliuli and the said enclosure : and also the cultivuluble land at Poupouwela; nil of which are reserved and not included in this lease, hut John Meek's cattle shall uot be mo lested should they go on to these place reserved if not fenced in with a Jeuce sufficient to prevent caitle from trespassing. Poupouwela will still remain as in times gone by. and is not intended tn tie fenced in as Ita situation is good, not need ing n fence. The tabued woods of the moun tains of the lands mentioned io this lease are also reserved to the parly of the first part, but he, John Meek, can take said tabued wood tor his own use, as much hs be wishes, but nol lo dispose of to other parties." The clause, but John Meeks cattle shall not be molested should they go on to these places reserved, if not fenced in with u fence sufficient to prevent cattle from trespassing." fixes the obli gation upon the lessor to keep bis reservations lenced. and us there wus no evidence offered to the jury to show that this was done, they were not at liberty to found their verdict upon evi dence tbut the cattle of defendant were accus "oied lo gruze and get water on the reserved portions. It is urged that though the lessor covenants thut the caitle shall not be consider ed as trespassing if they shall t'O on the re served portions, unless fenced, still the evidence shows that the cattle were continually on one of these portions, that is 'a aina, for water, und that ibis is in excess of the license, and there turc trespass would lie. I am of the opinion this is not sound, fur there could be no trespass on Pa aina. unlesd lenced with a fence capuble of turning stock. The law will not allow a pit-full for the un wary to be thus dug, when it was possible, in traming the lease, to make the intention of the lessor lo hold his tenant lo such a liability more clear. As regards Poupouwela, its aina mnhiai is re served. This is translated cultivated or culti vatablo land. Whichever rendering is taken there is no evidence thai Dowsett's cattle tres passed upon either the cultivated land or the land capable of cultivation in Ponuouwelu. The evidence wus confined lo the statement that the cuttle driven from Waimanalo between the 11th and 18th of July were driven from Lihue to water ut Poupouwelu uud hack again, but Ibere was no evidence that this water was in the limits of the aina malum. I am of the opinion, though the jury were not so instructed, that no trespass could bo maintained even on the aina mabiiii of Poupouwela, as the clause in reference to im munity Irom trespassing applies to it, and the lessor disavows his intention of lencing it, as the situation of the land did not require it. The legal inference Irom this is, that he tmk the risk of caitle trespassing on it, though uufenced. The jury were instructed in regard to the tes timony lhat the cattle of defendant hail spread a thorny acacia over the laud as follows : That the plaintiff could not recover damages for this if done while the cattle were lawfully upon the plaintiffs land, for he mast be held to have for seen the natural result of the pasturage of cattle in disseminating weeds and thorns on his lands, when he made the lease ; and as regardd acaciu being Bpread on Waimanulo. the defendant could only be held liable for whatever damage was thus done since July 15, 1876, of which there was no distinct evidence. The court charged the jury that up to the 15lh of July, 1876, when the Waimiinulo lease expir ed, the defendant had tli right of exclusive pos session of all Honouliuli except the reserved portions, but on suggestion of plaintiffs counsel made the qualification that if the jury found that there was any portion of Honouliuli conveyed by lease No. 1 and nol included in lease No. 3 and not re-convoyed by lease No. 4, they might find that trespass was committed on such portion. In giving this modification the court had no in tention of allowing the jury to infer that there was any such unleased portion of Honouliuli. for it had charged the contrary. But this may have misled the jury, which is to be regretted. It is apniirent to me thut the jury mii3t have understood the instructions of the court upon the evidence of trespass upon any portion of Uonou liuii, except Waimunulo, and as to Waimanalo, if the verdict was founded upon trespass on this land, the amount of damage is so c'eorly exces sive as to lead to the inference that the jury based their assessment nt damage on some erron eous principle. Exercising the sonnd and legal discretion vest ed in me, 1 am of the opinion that the verdict should be set aside and a new trial granted, which is done accordingly. A.

On Exceptions to the Decision op Mr. Justice Judd, Present: Chief Justice Allen, Justices Harris and Judd. The question upon which the opinion of the full court is desired, is the construction of the leases on file in this case. The arguments of the counsel for the plaintiff are exceedingly ingenious, and we have given them full consideration. Wo have likewise re viewed and weighed the opinion given bv Mr. Justice Judd, which is excepted lo and we con cur in that opinion fully, seeing no reason for altering, amending or expanding it.

It has suited the Democrats Irom the day after ibe election, to pretend that in the popular vole Mr. Tilden has a majority exceeding a quarter of a million. In form, the pretension :s not devoid ol plausibility ; in sub stance it is uotrue. Of the twentv-one Northern by the court. I observe, in passing, that if the de-j States, only four gave Democratic majorities. amounting in the aggregate lo 5d4U7. I he B Oat Hay. EST CALIFORNIA OAT HAT For Sale by fendant is now liable for trespass upon the kaahiwi ol Honoaliuli or opon the portion of the knla of Hooouliuli claimed by the plaintiffs counsel to be not conveyed by lease No. 3, be was liable lor trespass for the same reasons on the 1st of February, 1871, the date when tfaa first lease of Ishne expired. 1 find therefore that as there was no part of the Honouliuli kula between Lihue and Waima nalo not covered by the leases lo the defendant the jury were not at liberty to consider in mak ing up their verdict the evidence of the trespass of defendant's caitle on this territorv. The lease of Waimanalo having expired on the 15lh of July, 1876, the jory were instructed that the defendant should be allowed a reasonable time after this date in which lo take bis cattle of Irom this land, and in which to restrain them from returning thither. The evidence of dam ages for trespass on Waimujalo by Dowsett's cattle since the lease expired, consists in state ments of witnesses that they bad seen his cattle on this land within the month past, and since the time when they were driven off by Dowsett's men. The particolar evidence was given by Po who testified that be saw nine bead there on the 20th of July, and sixteen bead there on the 10th of August, bat this witness was uncertain at to the boundaries of Waimanalo, and said they bad never been pointed out to bim. eighteen other States gave Republican majori ties, wbicb, in the total, amounted lo 306,805. In the Northern Slates, therefore. Mr. Hayes has a net majority over Tilden of not less than 253.335. From ibe sixteen Southern Stales the returns are incomplete, those from Delaware and Texas not having been received io m authentic shape. What we have from the other States give Tilden a majority at about 44.000. Add as the approximate resmt ia the two non-reported States, 80.000, and the total Democratic ma jority, according to the face of the returns, may be set down to round figures it 520.000. De duct the net Republican majority ai the North, and tbe apparent Democratic majority in the whole country is something like 266,000. But this majority is apparent only, not real ; that is to say. it presupposes Ibe occurrence of an elec tion as free a-d fair in the Southern States as at the North, and this assumption, as every intelli gent man knows, is at variance with the facts. But for intimidation, violence, and fraud, tbe Re publican majority in Soatb Carolina would have been 20,000, instead of tbe 900 which appears on the tace of the returns ; In Florida, 10.000, in stead of forty-three ; in Louisiana it would have been at tsast five times greater than the figures actually counted. None of these States is. at heart, more thoroughly Republican than Alaba ma and Mississippi, which were secured for Til den by tbe same system of audacious terrorism which came so near victory in South Carolina. With proper protection for tbe colored voters, Alabama would unquestionably have yielded a Republican majority of 10.000. instead of appear ing to yield a majority of 33.000 for tbe Demo cracy ; ami Mississippi, instead of swelling tbe Democratic column wilb 56.000, would have ad ded to the Republicans a majority considerably exceeding 30,(KlO Thus, to go no further, the apparent Tilden majority ol 266.000 dwindles dowu to 92.000. Fully three fourths of this num ber would be ubliter.iied ia Georgia alone, if the formalities of an election had not been reduced to a mockery by the canning and persistency with which the Democrats have contrived to disfran chise a large Republican element, and to keep a still larger element from the polls. All that is left of even the apparent Tilderi majority disap pears befora a knowledge of gross frauds in North Carolina, Maryland, and West Virginia : while in old Virginia and Deleware tbe Tilden strength has been made to look morn formidable ibao it is by tricks wbich in this country are well under stood. .Y. Y. Times. The Kerivixl of Baslness. There are unmistakable evidences of the revi val of business all over the Eastern Statos. Tbe depression has been long and severe. A great many manufacturing establishments formerly in a prosperous condition were compelled to cease operations altogether. Stocks of goods accumu lated, many weulthy manufacturers failed, and thousands of people were thrown out employ ment. Others found their incomes reduced below the point ol coinforlable living. Tbe business depression has been more severe than any which has occurred since 1837. There was this differ ence : In '37 the currency was io a dreadful con dition. There was ut thai time no national cur rency excepl gold and silver, and that was seldom seen. The greater part of the currency of Wes tern Bunks was at a discount, ranging Irom ten lo thirty per cent. During the late depression the country has bad a currency which wus as good io one Stale as in another ; bat it was everywhere below par by at least ten per rent. It has been said in a general way that production was far ahead of consump tion. Bui this solitary tact does not wholly ac count for the depression. The truth is. private bankruptcy from fast living became general. Not only was the public indebtedness of the country enormous, bnt tbe private indebtedness was still greater. Rents had gono up more than a hun dred percent.; everything was indued, and the spirit of this inflation extended everywhere to private life. There was n vulgar flaunting of wealth. Economy in private life was somelbicg not to be tolerated. Private resources were " honeycombed," and incomes were eaten up with mortguges. Then came the shrinkage. Rents decreased because there was no longer ability to meet such deinunds. Brown stoue houses stood without tenants. The man whose income did not exceed three or four thousand dollars a year, could not pay it all out for root. He sought less preten tious quarters went into the country perhaps: economized in various ways, and worked and waited fur belter times. During all this period the country wus as rich as ever in natural resour ces. Tbe industrial product wus lessened in some departments and increased in others. There was less manufaciuring. because the sur plus goods were piled up wuiting fur consump tion. Bat there was nol an acre loss of cultiva ted land. Ill fact, there was a continual increase of agricultural production. The country was all the while becoming richer. Enormous wastes had been stopped. There had been a great many recoveries from the verge of bankruptcy. Others had gone lo the wall, settled with their creditors as best they cuuld, und hud taken a new start end were inspired with new hopes. There is now perceptible all over the Eastern States a business reaclion. The " young flood" of prosperity has set in. and. for aught we can see, this prosperity will continue for some years But once in about ten years the country is over taken by a business depression mure or less se ver.'. Better times do nol set in unlil there has been a re-adjustment of debts and credits, and a great many business changes. California has been one of the few States which has profited in an incidental way by the " hard times" in the Eastern Stales. Immigration wus largely in creased, and the growth of town and country in the matter of population never was greuter. This immigration has diminished somewhat of late, but there is still u healthy current setting in this di rection. It is remarkable, too, that tbe business depression in the Eislern States ditl not much affect business here. The resources of this coast us well as th: markets, are isolated, and. at best are only'remoteiy dependent upon the Atlantic Stales. The surplus produce of the State is mostly shipped to Europe, und tbe greater part of tbe freight money earned by deep-water ships is in the currying trade between this port and Euro pean ports. Tbe product of the mines has not been affected by the stagnation of business on the other side of the country. The price of sil ver has been regulated by a market which was largely outside of tbe United Slates. The revi val of business in tbe Eastern Suites will have some effect here ; but not in such a direct way as many eappose. It will be remembered that our period of greatest depressions occurred when there were flush time in the Eastern States ; and the contrust then was so great that hundreds hero went over and swallowed the greenback heresy and boldly advocated a papei currruncy as the only remedy for the stringent times in Cali fornia. We recovered from that depression with out any help from the other side of the country, and afterwurd heard the other side of the argu ment presented in the Alluntic States. ' Ob serve bow California prospers witb an exclusive gold and silver currency. When we get that we shall have a return of good times." As we approach Ibe date of specie resumption we have oncooruging signs of a revival of business ami a new era of prosperity all over tbe Eastern States. 5. F. Bulletin. FINE WRITING PAPERS.
