Mr. Graiiam. That was confirmed by the legislature? M R. HATCH. That was confirmed hy the legislature. Now the land that was conveyed to the Govcrnment is thē property of the Umted States. Those are the lands whieh are being granted to settlers I will not take ilp your time reading any more now, but these lands, whieh were resetved to himself, were sold by the King according tq his de&ire aud ns;cessity, The coifrt denied that the wtdow could take as statutory heirone-half of his estatr,hc d\ir~ withoutchildren.

Yf- mi, eommon law of England_was made the foundation of the law of Hawau. Though tlns was a Polynesian dyna<?ty and a very small country, the great powers of Europe never ckimed to exercise extratemtonal ]urisdiction there as they have īn China and Japan. The standing of the supreme court of Hawan m the early days waB sufficiently good to bring about this consequence AIl the great powers acceptedthe ]urisdiction of the Hawanan courts; they exercise entire ]urisdiction, both īn admiraliy cqutty, and eommon law' MR. .WALDO Over as weill as evervbjdv else?

The fdtlier was ahve, and would ordinarily have taken this estate, but Kamehameha V simply took posseesion, clairning that this word "hone" successors—Lhe word assigns was not used hut tlie Hawanan worcl whieh ts Lratislated "t>uccessors," gave hin thori;'-fit to Lhe Cbtdic;, he bein£ the iucecysur to the thronc. lloi.l OiMlj>ulUJ
