A reprint of the 1842 Lahainaluna edition translates early Hawaiian statutes. It covers poll and land taxes paid in money or swine, labor duties, idler penalties, and the roles of chiefs, landlords, and police. Tax outcomes included land dispossession for nonpayment and detailed weight measures for swine.

Wasp Built Seal Marks Law Library Volume
Mr Robertson found a chancery reports volume in the Law Library sealed with a great wasp nest on its front edge. The yellow jacket apparently built better than it knew. The Blakes Street Christian church won’t be ready for occupancy soon, despite reports it would open tomorrow. Windows glow not yet arrived from San Francisco, awaiting a tasteful landing.
