The evidence disclosed a disgraceful state of things in connection with the Land Purchase System. The jury attached the following rider to their verdict of " Not Guilty " m one case :—: — "That the system of native land purchase expenditure, as disclosed by the evidence, is extremely loose and reprehensible, and affords no sufficient check against fraud by persons employed as agents. " His Honor remarked that that was the least they could say.
