DEBARRED FROM BEQUESTS
A NATIVE LAND CASE,
ißy Telegraph—Per Press Association
AUCKLAND, Aug. 25
"When Eruer Hetaraka, better knoAvn as Pomare Hetaraka, died last year, he left substantial benefits to Rihi Kaluiere and Nora Pomare Hiribirth.” She Avas apparently a Europtrustee.
Judge McCormack, in the Native Land Court, announced that reluctantly he had decided that neither could receive any interest in deceased’s land. He said that Neva Avas a child, and it Avas not suggested that she Avas the child of the deceased. She Avas referred to in the Avill as one whom “Rihi and J. brought up from birth.” She Avas apparently an Euroean. Legally, the Judge said, she therefore could not receive any interest in Native land. Ais for Rihi, the Judge, after examining the evidence, said she hau itot proved she was an eligible object of the testator’s bounty. This decision, lie admitted, largely defeated probate of the estate to Rhi, but excluded both Rihi and Nera from interest in it.
