NATIVE LANDS COURT.
Tologa Bay.
We are informed that some little difficulty has arisen in passing land through this Court now sitting at the above-named place. A number of claims are adjourned to the 24th instant, and it is stated that nearly all the people from this district Avho went up are returning, declining to take their cases into Court, owing to Judge Symond, •who is presiding, having refused to admit infants into the order for the memorial of ownership ; lie having ruled that when the parent is admitted, his children, by operation of English law, succeed, and then interest in the land is vested in the said parent. The question of holding a Court at Tokomaru is still undecided.
