Judge Gill delivered the following judgment in - this case on Thursday. " This block contains 21,000 acres, of which 8,000 acres, an you are aware, have already been dealt with, leaving for present division 18,000. The. owners of this area number 41") adults, but 2 of these are now found to bo duplicates ; therefore, tho interests to be dealt with are represented by 413 persons. Of these, it has been shown fr> the Court, that 270 are Ngatibauit, represented by liuununa Pa tar a, and 137 are Ngatihoura represented by Wiremu To Wbitu. The question of the division of this area equitably to both Ngatihaua and Ng.itihoura has been carefully considered on all points which are in the evidence given by the witnesses as well as by a careful reading of the enquiry when before the court in 1884. Tho court now awards to 'the persons named in the Ngatihaua list 10,024 acres of this land, and to those in the NgAtihourua lint 7,97b' acres, an being the remaining 18,000 acres." The decision has, on tho whole, given satisfaction to the contestant', who afterwards met together and fixed the boundary lines on the map of the sub-di visions.
