CLAIM BY MAORIS
COURT RESERVES DECISION From Our Own Correspondent ROTORUA, Wednesday. A three-days’ sitting was concluded This morning before Chief Judge R. N. Jones, in the case in which Pirika te Miroi and others asked for payment of rents and bath fees at Rotorua, allegedly due from the Government. Mr. Wihapi conducted the case for the petitioners; Mr. Kepa Ehau for others of the tribe dissociating themselves from the petition, and Messrs. A. J. Prenderville, of the Crown Law Office, and R. J. Knight, of the Lands and Survey Department, for the Government. Chief Judge Jones, in reserving his decision, said the Government wished the position to be cleared up, and it would not be unfair® He warned the petitioners, however, not to trade on the expectation of receiving a lot of money. He could assure them they would not.
