The Court is further of the opinion that the grants of land made in respect of the Ngatimaru Landless Natives Act, 1907, and of the Purangi Landless Natives Act, 1907, should not be disturbed, but would recommend that if the allegations made by the petitioners that they are landless are correct and that there is any vacant Crown land in the vicinity which could be set aside for them, then this should be done and the matter referred to the Native Land Court to determine the names of the beneficiaries in pursuance of the power contained in section 527 of the Native Land Act, 1931. [l.s.] R. P. Dykes, Judge.
