NATIVE LANDS.

PEB PBKBS ASSOCIATION. WjULINOTON, July 12. A deputation of native owners waited on the Premier, the Native Minister and tlie Minister for Lands to-day to ask that a sitting of the Native Court might be held at Hastings as early as possible for the purpose of partitioning the Waiwarawa block. These owners felt that they oould not lease the land available to anyone but Miss Meinertzliagen, daughter of the original lessee. Six or seven thousand acres would ba resumed by tho native owners, and the balance of 22,000 acres they wished to lease. The petition circulated in the Hawke's Bay asking the Government to take the land for closer settlement wns not bona fide. The Native Minister said the general policy adopted by the Government in regard to resumption of Native land was that the time had come when lands that were not required by the Natives for their own use, should be acquired by the Crown. The Minister for Lands said if there was any balance that natives could not work themselves, itwas the duty of the Crown to acquire 'it for closer settlement, as the desire of Europeans for land had much increased. The Premier added that tho Crown could noi stay its hand in the matter of purchase.
