THE CAMBRIDGE LAND COURT.
o [BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT. J Cambridge, Wednesday. The Waotu case still draws slowly on. Four sets of counter claimants have closed their respective cases. Two more have still to be heard. Then the original claimants of the Ngatihuia tribe will bring their evidence forward. A number of natives have arrived from the South and there are daily arrivals from the various settlements in the vicinity. The Court did not sit yesterday owing to a death in the Ngatiugarongo camp aud the unanimous application for a day's adjourninent in consequence. The natives generally are quiet and well behaved, tho demeanour of the King natives in Court bting particularly mild and respectful. Judge Williams is much praised by them all for the patient and thorough manner in which he investigates their claims. In addition to a large experience of the natives he possesses an intimate knowledge of tlie language. A few words from him are always sufficient to enforce the strictest order and silence in a crowded Court.
