After considering the judgment given by the court yesterday we desire that our lawyer Mr. Cash make an application on our behalf.

On behalf of Ngatiraukawa wished to discover the nature of the application.

The application he wished to make on behalf of his clients was for the court to grant a short adjournment to enable them to consult with their friends who were absent. The object being, to prevent future confusion.
