APPEAL COURT.
GISBORNE CASES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) Wellington, last night. Argument in the Gisborne cases in regard to the title to Rangatira No. 2 block was resumed this morning, Mr DeLautour following Mr Bell in support of the case for the Assets Compauy, Amongst the objections to the title? acquired by the Company, it is alleged that many of the native owners of the block were infants, and the transfers on which the Company's title is based were not signed by anyone authorised to deal with the shares of such infants, Counsel, dealing with this allegation, contended that the fact of infancy' appeared only in one or two cases on the face of the order of the Native Laud Court in favor of natives, and, further, though Gazettes had been put in as evidence of infancy in many cases, these Gazettes showed only infancy at their respective dates and were no evidence of infancy at the date of execution of the transiers. Argument on this point is still proceeding. Later. —Judgment was reserved in the native land case in the .Appeal Court. There was a third case, respecting Waingaromia No. 2, hut the Court will be unable to deal with it this sitting.
