SUPREME COURT.
(Before His Honor Mr Justice Edwards. The hearing of the Rangatira cases against the Assets Company was concluded yesterday morning, and as in the former cases the argument was reserved for the Court of Appeal. The evidence went to show that Mr Andrew Graham, as agent for the Company, had as he thought made 'arrangements with the Natives for the area claimed by the Company to be cut out, and- that the subsequent proceedings to completo the title were carried on under that assumption. Tho Waingaromia No. 2 cases, in wbiob Panopa Waihopi and others were plaintiffs and tho Assets Company defendants, were then called on. Mr W. L. Rees and Mr R. N. Jones appeared for the plaintins and Mr DeLautour for the defendant Company. In this case there bad been two hearings in the Native Land Cour . Two orders of freehold tenure were issued to Robert Cooper, under whom the defendant claimed, and it was alleged that the orders had been issued without jurisdiction. Formal evidence, as in the other cases, was taken and the Court, at halfpast 4, adjourned until 10 this morning, when the taking of evidence in all these oases will be concluded.

The chair has suffered so munch from mutilation, says an English paper that one wishes Edwardl. had carried out his original idea and made it of bronze. It is improbable that a schoolboy would have been able to carve on if the, legend; 1. Abbots slept in this chair, July, 1800.,
