(By Telegrapi.—Press Asscelatlc=.) GISBORNE, this day. In the course of hearing the evidence in the Te Arai compensation case, referring to some land twenty miles distant, valued at £40 an acre, the Chief Justice said: "I am not speaking of this district, but of Taranaki and other places. The price- of land has gone up so that people make their children slaves. The price of land is so high that they cannot pay for labour, and ha-ve to depend on their children, who are being worked to death,"
