NATIVE LANDS COURT,

The sittings of this court at Waipawa lasted from the 9th to the 19th inst., during which a large number of claims were investigated. In most cases certificates were ordered, but, in a few, the applications were deferred through imperfect survey ov other causes of a similar nature. Among the applications so postponed was that of Te Hapuku, for the Poukawa Block, whose map only shewed the external boundaries, and did not afford the Judge sufficient information to decide upon the claims of other persons to small portions of land within the block. Among the claims which involved a good deal of trouble in investigation was one in connection with Tarewa, a , bush at Waipawa, the value of which brought forward so large a number of claimants that it had ultimately to be divided into six distinct portions. We subjoin a list of the certificates ordered : — Tautane Block, 1052 acres. — Henare Matua, Hoera Rautu.
