An extraordinary request was made by Mr Grace this afternoon, after the de livery of Jthe Rakautatahi judgment. He said, as it was expected that Ngapairuru would next be taken, and some of the evidence taken in the Waikopiro case would also be submitted, he thought it desirable that tho case should be takeu before another Judge and another assessor. Judge 0 4 Brien held the point over for consideration till to-morrow morning. The Native Land Court delivered judgment in the Rakautatahi case this afterDoon. The judgment, which is a very lengthy and exhaustive review of the claims, will appear in next issue.

Tangimoana. To the claimants, Nepe Te Apatu and others, were awarded the balance, 480 interests, they thus securing over three-fourths of the block. Tho Court stated that, if the parties would agree on the individual interests, they would give effect to their wishes ; and if the parties could arrange a partition and location of interests, they would also give effect to it.
