COURT OF APPEAL.
■■■■ [Per Association.] . WELLINGTON, May 5. The Court of Appeal was engaged in hearing argument in the Public Trustee v. •Davy, a case stated for the opinion of the ■Court.' By various statutes the Public Trustee claims to be the legal owner of certain Native lands. By an Order-in-Coimcil in 1887- the Governor purported to give to the Native Land Court power to inquire and decide who were the beneficial owners of these lands. The Court did inquire, and certificates of title were issued. Transfers, have taken place of land on these certificates, and the Public Trustee now claims that the Order-in-Council was invalid; and that the certificates, therefore, fall to the ground. Judgment was reserved.
