THE KAITA PURCHASE CASE.
O-USS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.]
AUCKLAND. May 18. Dr. Giles, R.M., gave judgment for the defendant in the cases of the Natives v John Lundon, in connection with the Kaita purchase. The claim was for £800 alleged to be the balance of the purchase money due to the Natives by Lundon, who acted as Government agent in connection with the Natives. The Magistrate said it had not been proved that defendant was guilty of fraud. He had not made his balance out of the Natives, but out of the Government. That was not a matter for him to go into. Lundon made a handsome profit out of the Government, as 4s 6d an acre was a good price for the land. The costs of the defendant amounted to over £100.
