NATIVE LAND COURT, CAMBRIDGE.
The whole of Thursday was taken up in the further examination of jPiripi Whanatangi, and yesterday morning he had again to undergo the ordeal for about an hour, after which the court adjourned until two o'clock, to enable the natives to decide upon a boundary line. This proved unsuccessful, and Judge O'Brien said he thought it was a pity that the natives did not settle their affairs without the help of Pakeha agents, and made some allusion as to the court employing them. This produced a sharp reply from Mr James Mackay, in which he challenged anyone to prove that he had not always done the best he possibly could for his native clients, either in that or any other court. The court was then adjourned until this morning, witli the understanding that this would be the last time they would have the chance of settling it amongst themselves. We learn this has not been done, and the court will now go on with the case.
