NOTICE TO QUIT.
NATIVES CONVICTED OF TRESPASS In the case of trespass brought by James Joseph Cahill for H. H. Adams, against Teddy Tarapa and others, Mr. J. \V. Poynton, S.M., this morning delivered his reserved decision. His Worship said that the defence was a claim of title by prescription, and the only evidence was that the natives have "been camping on the land for over twenty years, but not these particular natives. He thought the claim was not a bona fide one. It had been settled by the Supreme Court, which had ejected a native with a better claim than any of the edefcndanls. Regarding the point raised that Adams could not sue, as he was a tenant and not the owner, his Worship said he was satisfied there was nothing in that contention. Owner included the person in possession. Defendants would be convicted, but sentence postponed for one week to enable them to leave the place.
