States that the Native Land Court should be held partly to blame for failing to advise Maori properly.
Also discusses the `Land Ring'. Refers to other speakers: Sir George Grey, who spoke in favour of Sheehan's motion, Sir Donald McLean who said there was no foundation for Sheehan's assertion as did Ormond.
