JUDGMENT IN THE OKAUIA CASE.
[by telegraph, from our correspondent.!
Cambridge, Thursday. Judge Mosbo gave judgment this morning on the Okauia case, and it has caused disappointment and rejoicing. The Ngatiraukawa, who were thought to have most interest, have the least; the Ngatihinerangi, supposed to have least, have the lion's share; while the Ngatihaa, said to have nothing, come off second best, with 1400 acres. This has caused quite a nutter amoDg the buyers. The Ngatihineraogi, finding themselves in so good a position, are not inclined to part with more than will pay their debts and carry them safely home. The block is not so large as reported. It is under 30,000 acres. A great deal of bad blood is the result of the decision. Mangawhare is the block now unrler consideration. The acreage is 7175 acres. The discomfiture of the Ngatiraukawa, in the Okauia case, was because they left the district prior to the Treaty of Waitangi, and have not occupied it since.
