NEWS AND NOTES.
Knocked down by a motor lorry on Tuesday night, John Polletti, a well-known farmer of Bell Block, Taranaki, sustained a fractured skull and later died. The lorry was driven by a native named Watson.
‘.‘ln the records of the Native Land Court we have bad some wonderful work by the judges,” stated Mr. K. Ross during the course of an historical lecture in P aimerston North. “I would like to make this statement publicly, and without any reservation, that there we have an example of the best spirit of British 1 justice in protecting the Natives against themselves and against ‘landsharks.’ It has cost the country a trejmendous sum as it sometimes took three years to get a deal through the court, so closely were titles investigated and the interests of the Maoris watched.”
