Richards, farmer, Otorohanga, and Mr. W. F. Metcalfe, sheep farmer, of Mount Eden, opened a sitting to-day to find some means of relief, equally fair to lessees and to native owners, for the many farmers in the Waikato-Mania-poto native land district who are suffering from burdensome terms of tenure and so to ensure the benefit of increased production front their holdings. Evidence was given to-day by farmers of their various grievances, and was largely of a preliminary nature. Further evidence will be forthcoming.
