TAUPO.
May 21. General dissatisfaction prevails among the natives respecting the Rangipo judgment. They declare that they cannot understand it and that the Court has apparently ignored the evidence altogether, and above all things has given to Kemp's natives a half-share in a portion of the block which they had made no claim to. Topia and his principal men went into Court this morning and refused to put in any ot the names of the natives belonging to their own half of the Ngatitaraa. This has put a stop for the present to any further progress, and the Court adjourned till Monday. To sbow the temper of the natives it is only necessary to pay that claimant after claimant followed Topia with applications to withdraw their cases from hearing altogether.
