LEASING APPLICATIONS.

The following applications for leases were heard before G. B. Davy, Esq., Warden, on Wednesday : — New Caledonia : Applicant, D. J. O'Keoffe ; objectors, Hagin and Hodge. The hearing of this case was postponed, as it was a case for the Warden's Court. — Diadem: Applicants, Booth and Pan ell; objector, John Cyndeth. Mr. Tyler appeared for Mr. Kogan, Mr. Macdonald for Mr. Gwynneth. Application endorsed by the Warden, but time was allowed for other objections to be lodged. — General Chute : Applicant, Lawler ; objector, J. E. Macdonald. Mr. Tyler appeared for applicant, and asked for an adjournment, owing to the proper notice of objection not being served. Applicant, Edwin Webb ; objector, Mr. Mackay. Mr. Tyler appeared for Mr. Mackay. The applicant did not appear. — Mr. Tyler made some remarks, during which he said that Mr. Mackay made objection to many of the leases on different heads. Some of these leases included native cultivations and burial-grounds, and his instructions with regard to such were to oppose their being granted in every way, as, by the agreement with the natives of the 9th of March, the Government had not authority to interfere with them. With respect to those including a part of the township there was no objection to their being granted, if in the lease some clause will be introduced by which the rights of the present occupants of ground were respected ; That any drives or shafts upon the ground should be filled up when required, and tha surface of the ground not interfered with. If such restrictions were introduced there would be no objection on the part of Mr. Mackay, or those for whom he acted in the matter, to the granting of the leases. — It was agreed that the terras under which township lands could be leased would be laid before the Court, that the matter might be considered. In the following applications for leases, the Court requested it should be stated on what ground Mr. Mackay, the objector, founded his objection, whether the land was township land, or native cultivation, or burial ground : : Applicant, Otto and Brooking. -.
