TAARE WAITARA'S ESTATE.
TE WIHTTS CASH. By Telegraph—Own correspondent. Wellington, • Monday. , Sir Robert Stout delivered his decision in the 1 ease of the petition by the trustees and executors oi the Will of Taare Waitara, of Parihaka (Te Whiti's successor), for commission for administering the estate. The question to be answered in the case was whether the court had power so to interfere in the administration of the estate of an original native of New Zealand as to grant commission, under section 20 of the Administration Act, 1909. The estate totalled £28,01,7 7a 6d. Sir Robert Stout held that the special power of the Native Land Act overrides the provision of the Administration Act, and the Supreme Court has no power to grant commission to the executors. "If," added His Honor, "the Native Land Court cannot, grant commission, then there seems to be need of some authority being given to that court." He remarked that other judges whom he had consulted agreed with him.
