The great case before the Native Land Court at Maketu re Te Rotoiti block has not yet been fairly commenced. An effort ds being made to; reduce the number of counter-cases.

The settlers of Omahu feel that I they have not received justice from . I the Eailway Department with respect: to their application for a station on the Wharepoa Eoad. The following :• petition is now being signed, "and will shortly be sent to Hon. J. Cadman, member for the district, for him to present to Parliament: — "To the, Speaker and members of the House of Representatives in Parliament assembled,—We, the undersigned,. do hereby humbly petition your Hon-; ourable House to grant that a railway station may be placed on the Wharepoa Eoad.' We have already sent two numerously signed petitions—one to the Eailway Department, and the other to the Public Works Department. The latter con- : tamed full particulars, and was accompanied by a sketch plan of tha district, showing where the settlers:;;; live, how unfavourably they aje placed at present (the railway being1 a thing to be seen but not used), and also where they desire the station to be placed. After considerable delay a reply was received from the Eailway Department, stating that the Thames section is amply supplied with stations. We might draw attention to lines that are more amply supplied with stations than the Thames section, and to many places where the stations are as near together as the Omahu station is to the site we propose for a station. It a- new; station cannot be granted, the^ only couirse open to us is to ask that the Omahu station may be removed to the Wharepoa Eoad. It benefits less-than half a dozen families, whereas the site we suggest'would accommodate between thirty and forty ' families. That your HonourableHouse may see fit to give the matter ; ] your earnest consideration is the prayer of your humble petitioners.— - (A correspondent.)
