The Middle Island Native Land Purchases Commission have been sitting in the Provincial Council Chambers during the past week. On Friday they were occupied with the examination <•£ the Rev. J. W. Stack, who gave voluminous evidence with regard to the promises made by Meßsrß Kemp and Mantell in 1848 for the establishment of Native schools and hospitals as part consideration for the cession of the territory embraced within what is known as the Ngaitaihu deed.
