HATUMA COMPENSATION CASE.
(Pee United Press Association.)
NAPIER, April 12.
The second hearing of the Hatuma compensation case came to an abrupt adjournment to-day. After the first hearing certain points raised by Mr Russell's counsel were embodied in the case cited for the Court of Appeal, and various questions were ansv/ered ; but during the proceedings today it transpired that counsel for the Crown and Mr Russell put widely different interpretations on these answers.- Mr Justice Edwards intimated that he agreed with the view of Dr Findlay, Crown counsel, but in such an important matter, he would prefer that the Appeal' Court should decide the meaning of its judgment. It was agreed to state a case to elucidate the points in dispute.
