THE NATIVE LAND LAWS COMMISSION.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION”.) Auckland, April 17. The Native Laud Laws Commistioners returned from Otorohanga and sat again in the Customhouse Buildings this morning, when Mr Theo. Cooper, solicitor, gave evidence. He was emphatically of opinion that the Native land lav/s at present are in a state of hopoless contusion; that there is no certainty of tenure about any lands derived from a Maori title, and that the legal profession find it almost impossible to advise clients with any degree of confidence in respect of such transactions. Recent decisions in the Court of Appeal bad shown the urgent need of reform. The final sitting of the Commission takes place tomorrow, and the Commissioners leave for New Plymouth on Monday.
