At the request of Mr L. A. Amodeo, for the Crown, the hearing of the application was adjourned today for the fourth time. It will resume on December 4. The application for a licence, by C.R.A. Exploration Pty Ltd, of Melbourne, is before the Auckland Mining Court, but Ministerial approval is required before the licence can be granted by the warden (Mr J. D. O’Brien).
