.(by telegraph.—press association.) Wellington, thia day. The case of "In re Puhatikotiko, No. 1 block," \va9 heard fay tho Court of Appeal today. The ca?e was stated by Judge Barton, of the Native Land Court, ab Gisborno, for the opinion of tho Supreme Court, and removed by ordor of Judge Couolly and consent of the parties into the Courb of Appeal. An important question was involved, viz., whether, when the land held by the nabivea under memorial of ownership ia partitioned, and Crown grants are issued, Crown grants musb necessarily contain restrictions against alienating in any other manner than the land could have been alienated under the memorial of ownership, unless special application has been made by a majority of tho natives for removal of restrictions, and the restrictions have been removed after due enquiry. Mr Coopor, of Auckland, and Mr De Lautour, of Gisborne, were the counsel engaged. The Court decided thab Crown grants would issue free from reBtrictions unless specially imposed.
