NATIVE LANDS COMMISSION.
(Bj Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON", this day. A Royal Commission has been sitting at Ngaruawahia for some days dealing with the claims of natives on the Te Akau Estate at Raglan. The land was confiscated for rebellion in the Waikato. The principal allegations are that the Court in 1894 ignored the proceedings of the Compensation Court of 1866, and boundaries of burial places and native settlements as located by it, and by a. Native Land Court in 1891; that the names of several rebel natives have been inserted in the Crown grant improperly, and in the subdivision made by the Court in 1894; that these rebels had in some instances been allotted larger shares and interest than loyal owners; that in 1897 a sitting of the Native Land Court was held and Te Akau No. 3 block further divided into Akau No. 3A and 3B blocks. The boundary fixed is unsatisfactory to the petitioners. The ca3e is proceeding.
