Our readers are aware that the purchase money of certain lands, from which a person named Macounochie was ousted by the government, has been returned to him by Paora. We are not now attempting to support Maconochie's claim": we believe, indeed, that it was untenable. Bat ne wish to draft attention to the fact, which has more in it than meets the eye. The purchase money was repaid by tie natives, under tl e impression that it would otherwise bu repaid by government; which
vould then, according to their own notions, tself acquire a title to the land. The whole mestion of surplus lands, guaranteed to the. 'atives by promise of Governor Fitzßoy, is hus re-opened. Itfls their first active step in tssertion of what they suppose to be a right, md is the most significant demonstration that las yet been made. It is a new epoch in the ,-et unsettled land question, from which another :lass of difficulties may be expected to date.
Lfgal.—Mr. William Grace,—(of the Four Courts, Dublin) was admitted on the Ist inst., is an Attorney of the Supreme Conrt, Auckland, New Zealand.
