THE LINCOLNSHIRE FARMERS' DELEGATES V. SPECULATORS.
Auckland, March 18. At the Waste Lands Board to-day, a letter was read from the Lincolnshire delegates, stating their intention to -leave for England by next mail. They were .desirous of learning. whether .the Board were willing to withhold from sale 10,000 acres of the Te Aroha block until they had time to organise a colonising party. They would be willing to pay a fair price for it, and submit to any reasonable conditions imposed. After some discussion, it was agreed to reserve the land for six months. Mr. Fizgibbon Louch, C.E., of Katikati, applied for an indicated, portion of the Te Aroha block for the purpose of a special settlement, He stated that if he were granted the land, he intended to proceed Home in order to form a party of settlers. The Chairman said that the land applied for included those sections' referred to in Messrs. Grant and Foster's letter 3 as well as' that claimed by Mr. Thomas Russell. The applicant's project was supposed to be one of a purely speculative character, and it was therefore decided to refuse his request.
