SERIOUS OUTRAGE PREVENTED.
Captain Jackson moved the adjournment of the House in order to call attention to the case of Hetere Te Paerata and/ certain other Waikato natives, who/ he said, had been prevented from giving evidence before the Native Land Court at Taupo with regard to their claims to the Taupoanibia block because they were subpeenaed to abtend the Magistrate's Court at Cambridge" So angry were they with the sense of injustice.under which they suffered that four hundred armed men went out oster.sibly to shoot pigeons, bub really to cut tho survey lines and were only with difficulty restrained from doing so. In the discussion which followed Mr R. Thompson said he hoped a radical change would be made in bhe constitution of the Native Land Courts. .
