could have either a jury of half foreigners
and half natives, or foreigners alone, chuse
to be tried by the latter.
We also find that the Commercial Agent,
Mr. Hooper, culled upon the, Governor,
who, by custom, if not by law, sits ns Judge

the right he considered he had accorded to
him, by the King's speech and the precedent's at Lahaina —that the Governor pleaded ignorance of any such right, and referred
Mr Hooper to Dr. Judd, whose directions
the Governor had been in the habit of obeying—that the, Commercial Agent did call
upon Dr. Judd at his ollice, and Dr. Judd
not only made n objections to tho course
proposed by Mr. Hooper, but even assisted
him in forming a jury, he (Dr. Judd) objecting to some of the names in the list,
which Mr. Hooper had previously drawn

We also find by the correspondence, that the

General on Mr Hooper, and told him that

Hooper finding that he could not convince
Dr. Judd that he was wrong, or induce the
Governor to grant the privilege, then laid
the whole matter before the Americun Commissioner.
We again find from this correspondence,that
.Air. Brown wrote a letter to Dr. Judd on
the 30th of August, wording it in such a manner, as to appear ignorant himself thut Dr.
Judd had been applied to, previously, for
his interference in the matter, and affording
him (to use Mr. Brown's words) "an excellent opportunity of withdrawing from the
untenable position he had taken."
To this letter a reply is made by Dr. Judd,
upholding the course of the Governor, upon
the sole around, that there is no existing treaty with the Lnitcd States, nnd saying that if

were older and bad seen more of the world,
and were better able to judge of the merits
