NATIVE LAND COMMISSION.
Per Press Association. Wlhangarei, Last Night. A sitting of the Maori Lands Commission commenced here to-day under the presidency of Sir Robert Stout. Two chiefs welcomed Sir Robert Stout in the customary florid style of rhetoric. In replying, the Chief Justice stated that the Maoris had recklessly dissipated their lands and.wasted their time and nieuns and the race had dwindled to naif its former numbers, indulgence in liquor being accounted for most of tlw deaths. The salvation of the Maori* rested in the reservation of land for their occupation and working.
