NATIVE LAND COURT.

Tribal Claims to the Littlo Barrier,

His Honor Judge Macdonald delivered yesterday morning the judgmentof the Court in respect to the rival claims of To Kawerau and Ngatiwai tribes to Hautari, or the Little Barrier, which have engaged atten tion for the past two or three days. Te Kawerau were represented by Paora Tuhaere, and grounded their claim upon consequent and subsequent occupa tion down to the time of the battle of Te Ikaaranganui, when, in consequence of the disturbed state of the island, all it» inhabitants left and retreated into the interior. The Ngatiwai, who were repre sented by Hone Paama (John Palmer), set up an ancestral claim to the island, as well as one of continued occupation through sir generations down to the present time. The latter claim was disproved, and the Court were unanimous in award ing the island to the descendants of Te Kawerau, including Rahui, daughter of Te Kiri. Hone Paama stated his in tention of applying for a re-hearing. This is the sixth time the matter has been in Court, and the fourth time it has been decided, the last occasion being in 18S1, when Judges O'Brien mid Munro gave judgment for Ngatiwai. To Kawerau, however, obtained authority under The Special Powers and Contract Act of last session to commence proceedings de novo, with the above result. Ngatiwai will now ask in their turn for a rehearing, and so tho matter may go on ad infinitvm.

After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, via., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become Bore and stiff from over-exertion, but after Uoinq well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pwn immediately vanished nnd I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positl ye.after tho contest was over, I rode 10) miles against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in G hours 11 minutes 15} seconds. Another application of SL Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of fatigue ft.mt I felt perfectly fltfor anothot race.
