In the Warden’s Court, Hokitika yesterday an interesting point was decided by the Warden, Mr W. Meldrum. By a decision given in the Barrytown cases at Greymouth, the Warden held that a mining privilege, marked out upon an existing Land Board title, required the preliminary steps contained in Section 93, 2B of the Mining Act, 1926, namely, that an application must first be made to the Warden for leave to peg, and the procedure followed as set out in that Section prior to filing the application for the ground. The same conditions applied in respect to eight applications by Thomas Nolan and John A. Milne, at the Wataroa river in South Westland, but the applicants admitted through their counsel (Mr J. A. Murdoch), that the preliminary steps required by Section 92, 2B had not been taken. Counsel argued that, as the land owners had been made aware of the application, and objections had been filed and subsequently withdrawn, this step taken by the 'landowners operated as a waiver, or estoppel, and he quoted authorities in support of his contention. Giving judgment, Mr Meldrum said he had already decided that applicants for ground included in registered licenses and renewable leases must be treated as applications for private lands, and, therefore, Section 93, 2B of the Mining Act applied. The ground was Crown Lands in the meaning of the Act, but his ruling in the Barrytown cases was a ruling on the question of procedure only, and he upheld the contention of counsel (Mr Murdoch) in the present cases, that the doctrine of waiver applied. The applications were therefore granted.
