HATUMI COMPENSATION CASE. NAPIER, April 12.
1 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 theCourt of Appeal, and various que"stions~were answered ; 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 theview 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.
i Tho Pahialua Herald says: — "Mr Cook, who is acting as relieving stalionmaster at Fahiatua, is one of the few half-caste Maoriswho have aspired to a position of control in the public service. His commanding and gentlemanly bearing should have the effectof pushing him to a high position in tho railway department."
