NATIVE LAND.
The Hon. A. T. Ngata, interviewed j at Huntley, stated that the Tokaanu Land Conference Committee did not approve the proposed abolition of the Native Appellate Court and a reversion to the old system of re-hearing, which was very costly to litigants, and multiplied delays. The committee suggested that the procedure of the Native Land Court should be amended to facilitate exchanges, and that the Government should appoint commissioners to carry out, on a wholesale scale, exchanges between the various sections of a tribe. The committee insisted that the Government should perfect a system of settling Maoris on their own lands, and expressed the opinion that the time had not arrived when restrictions against alienation should be altogether removed. /
