CHARGING ORDER FOR RATES
POWERS OP NATIVE LAND COURT (PRESS ASSOCIATION TXMCORAJf.) GISBORNE, September 13. A test case of interest to local bodies, particularly those affected by native rates, was decided in a judgment Mr Justice Reed delivered to-day. The action was taken on a case stated by the Native Appellate Court, to determine whether the Native Land Court, having granted a charging order for rates, could refuse to make such orders as were necessary to enforce the charge. His Honour answered the question in the negative, holding that the ntention of the Legislature was that when, the Native Land Court had judicially decided that a charging order should be granted, it had no discretion subsequently to reiuse to appoint a receiver unless it was prepared to appoint a native trustee for the purpose of the sale of the land affected by the charge.
