For some lirao past the Arbitration Court has been sitting to settle the terms under which there should be granted now leases under the West Coast Settlement Keserves Act to tenants who hold leases conferred by the Governor on the recommendation of the West Coast Commission. The natives have generally objected to the renewal of leases by the Public Trustee, and have declined to accept the service of notices or in any way to reeognho tho proceedings. At a sitting of the court held to-day a solicitor who appeared on behalf the natives announced their determination to apply to tho Supreme Court for a mandamus compelling the Public Trustee to suspend all surthsr action, pending the reconsideration of the whole matter by Parliament.
