When the action, H. Norton v W. and M. Poharama, was being heard last week, Mr J. J. Mackie, supervisor for the Board, said an effort was being made under the Native development scheme to make the land more valuable for the Natives, Mrs Poharama retorted: f 1 It's valuable enough for me.” An award of £155, to be distributed among owner, captain and crew of the fishing vessel Coastguard, which towed the Waiwera, another fishing vessel, from the Bay of Plenty to Auckland in July of last year, was made by the Supreme Court, sitting in its Admiralty jurisdiction, on a claim for £l3OO salvage. The plaintiff was the Australian Fish Meal, Oil and Hide Company, Ltd., the owner of the Coastguard, and the defendant was Waitemata Fisheries, Ltd., owner of the Waiwera. The defendant has also to pay £45 in assessors' fees, £l5 15s and costs, and disbursements and witnesses' expenses.
