YESTERDAY. [BY TELEGRAM OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Cambridge, Last Night.

Matters with respect to the sub-divi-sions in the Whaiti Kuranui Block are more complicated than ever. Subdivision Ahiatiao "was before Court to-day. Mr Mackay appeared for the Ngatiterangi tribe, Mr McDonald for the Ngatiwehewehi and others and Mangakahia for Hoera. The Hats in connection with Ahiatiao were handed in and after a lengthy discussion between the various representatives further consideration of the case was deferred until a future period. No. 2 was then brought before the Court, and in the course of a discussion which followed, the Court intimated its intention of rescinding the order granted in No. 2a. Mr Mackay raised an objection to this proceeding of the Court. His Honor ruled that it was within the power of the Court to amend an order if i it thought fit. Mr Mackay replied that if the Court thought to intimidate him from maintaining the right of his clients by threatening to rescind previous actions, they were greviously mistaken. Nothing could prevent him upholding the right of his claimants in the case. If the Court thought of quashing the order in No. 2a, it would simply be playing into his hands, as he would thereby be enabled to exclude a number who had been included in the order to the prejudice of his clients. After a great deal of wrangling between the Court and the agents, it was decided to adjourn the case for further consideration, and that sub-divisions 4 and 1 be gone on with in the meantime. At 3.30 o'clock the Court rose until tomorrow.
