West Ooast Reserves.
o [Phe Pbbss Association.] HAWERA, Mat 15. For some time past an Arbitration Conrt has been sitting to settle the terms under which there should be granted new leases under the Weat Coast Settlement Reserves Act to tenants who hold leases confirmed by the Governor, on the recommendation of the We3t Coast Commission. The Natives have generally objected to a renewal of the leases by the Pnblic Trustee, and have declined to accept service of notices, or in any way to recognise the proceedings. At a sitting of the Court, held to-day, a solicitor, who appeared on behalf of the Natives, announced their determination to apply to the Supreme Court for a mandamus, compelling the Public Trustee to suspend all further action, pending the reconsideration of the whole matter by Parliament.
