Mr Taverner) was in the north, a visit was paid to the Waipoua State Forest, the party penetrating as far as “ The Big Tree,” a giant kauri, in the heart of the bush, with a circumference near the base of 4oft. The Maoris knew this fine tree as Tane-mahuta. Close to the roadway which winds through the forest, the big tree is an object o>f great interest to visitors. During the Minister’s visit a decision was made to place a fence around it, this for the reason' that there is a danger of the undergrowth being trampled down, and the roots of the tree semi-exposed. The largest kauri in the Waipoua Forest has a circumference near the base of 48ft, but it is in rather an inaccessible spot, and a long journey by bush tracks is necessary to reach it. it lias the name of Wao-nui-o-tane.

For over an hour Mr Justice IJerdman was engaged in-hearing legal argument on the question whether a judgment given by Mr Justice Blair in April should be set aside because df a “0” in the date of the bearing—. April 10th—appearing like an “8.” The ambiguity was traced to faulty l ■•’Tug, the- “0” being struck twice, and thus giving the impression that the date intended was April 18th. At the conclusion of the hearing his Honor granted a motion to set aside the judgment. The original case was one in which the plaintiff claimed £325 commission.
