Nicholl assessors, in Mr Blackie's claim of £883 for. land taken for railway purposes, for injuries and damage done by tbe subdivision of paddocks so as to leave only a narrow strip of little value for cultivation, for extra cost, for cultivation of 130 acres for 20 years, and for depreciation owing to the railway cutting off the natural stream from the land, the Court awarded £425 : the costs to be divided. The Crown Solicitor reserved his right to raise the point that the claim was barred by the lapse of the statutory time, the land having been taken in 1874.
