to the liability of District Councils to owners
of lands for the costs of consents necessary
to be filed in the Land Commission where
agreements have been entered into for sale
of the lands under the Land Purchase Acts,
and portion of the lands agreed to be sold
has been acquired under

A letter was read from a country member
giving particulars of a case in which he acted
for judicial tenants and furnished title in
February, 1910,
the compensation having
been paid in the following month, and having
furnished to the District Council his costs, the
District Council refused to send them on to

entitled to the fee of half a guinea and no
more, for each title furnished. A reply was
directed stating the steps which the Council
suggested should be forthwith taken.
Land Commission.

Land Commission stating that if the Council

the draft rule so
amended.
