Wednesday, April 22.
[Before Chief Judge Fenton and Henare Pakuatua (an Arawa Chief), Native Assessor.]

The Chief Judge and the Native Assessor sat in Court at 10 o'clock to-day. The hearing of the Rapaki dispute was to have been resumed; but as Mr. Cowlishaw had not been furnished with a compete list of the Kaiapoi claimants, he thought it would save the time of the Court, if the hearing were adjourned until next day, in order that he might be fully instructed in the meantime; the Natives had not consulted him until after the session had commenced. Mr. Williams, on behalf of the Rapaki Natives, consented to an adjournment, and the Chief judge adjourned the Court until 10 o'clock this morning.
