COURT OF APPEAL.
TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day
Mr Bell continued the argument for the Assets Company this morning in the native land cases in. the Court.of Appeal. He contended that the order Fin treehcJd tenure «":is good on. its face, and it was not essential that the memorial of ownership should liave been adjudicated in Court' and the order for memorial made. Counsel also submitted that the evidence showed such imperfections in the records of the Native Land Court that it was impossible for the Court, to conclude that the requirements had not been complied with merely because entries had not been made, upon the minutes- or documents could not now be found upon the; fiie. This, he submitted, was a. principle wliich should be applied most strongly when the proceedings and transactions were attacked after so great a lapse of time. Mr Bell further contended that an order in freehold tenure cannot be attackin collateral proceedings, being judgment in rem of a Court of exclusive jurisdiction.
