Hirini Haereone, on the 27th ult., sued William King and J. R. Hurrey, in the Resident Magistrate's Court at Gisborne, for the value of 60 puriri posts, cut by him in the Makauri bush, and which he had taken and placed close to his own premises some half a mile off, intending to use them for fencing purposes, but the defendants took them away. The plaintiff claimed a right to the posts as one of the grantees of the Makauri block. The defence set Tip was that Ema Poho and "Wi Pere had sold to defendants the bush in which the posts were cut. The plaintiff had been in the habit of cutting posts in that bush, with the knowledge of defendants, without hindrance ; and it was proved that the defendants' servants had seen the posts being cut for the plaintiff by Eogers and another man but did not interfere. The Court gave judgment for the plaintiff for his claim and costs amounting in the whole to about £7.
