Native Land Court.
Yesterday morning the Native Land Court was crowded to the greatest possible extent, the occasion being the delivering of judgment by their Honors Judges Brookfield and Puckey in a number of adjoining blocks, comprising in the aggregate about 50,000 acres, and known as the Tarewa-auru, the Maraetaha No. 1 and the Puninga Blocks. The leading claimants were Mrs Gannon on one side, and Hemi Waaka on the other. There were other minor claims. The claim set up by Riperata Kahutia was altogether disallowed by the Court, that lady having failed to prove her title. The other parties were more successful. In our next issue we will deal more fully with the subject. Suffice it to say for the present that a large area of country hitherto lying useless will speedily pass into the hands of European owners. About 15,000 acres of the lands upon which the adjudication has terminated are, we understand, under negotiaiion by Mr Daniel Page, the residue, some 35,000 acres, by Auckland capitalists.
