GISBORNE. This Day. liie Native Appellate Court to-day gave an important decision respecting the rights of descendants of rebels in tho Hauliau troubles of 1865 to participate in the compensation in connection with land taken by the Crown in excess of territory voluntarily ceded. The Court held that Natives who had been disloyal were not for that reason alone debarred from participating in any compensation or relief that might ba granted by the Government. Land that was awarded to ;the Crown for settlement purposes was assumed to be that of rebels, but it may not have exhausted the whole of their right. So far as those rights were not exhausted they were still entitled to claim.
