The Prince's-street Reserve

The Prince's-street Reserve.

The application of Teoti Kerei Taiaroa and Timoti Karetai, for the investigation of matters relating to this reserve, was considered. Mr. Haggitt pleaded, as an objection to the Court's jurisdiction, that the land in question was under Crown grant.

The Commissioner of Crown Lands produced the Crown grant. The land named in it was defined; and Teoti Kerei Taiaroa admitted that it was the same land, respecting which application had been made.

The Interpreter was then instructed to state that the application was dismissed, and that the applicants would have to go to the Supreme Court.
