Fourteenth Session. (Page 52 of Minutes, Document C. 568, M. 179, 1928, VI.) Fines. —A statement of the total amount of fines inflicted by the High Court during the calendar year 1928 appears on page 13 of this report. (Page 274 of Minutes, Document G. 568, M. 179, 1928, VI.) Ex-enemy Property.—The New Zealand Government are anxious to facilitate a final settlement of this question, but they have felt it necessary to obtain advice on certain aspects from His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom. A reply is expected at an early date, and the matter will then be finalized with all possible despatch.

* During this year the New Zealand Government has in addition to the subsidy of £20,000 paid the whole cost of the Samoa Military Police, amounting to £27,374, and has also purchased (largely for the benefit of the Territory) and run at a loss up to the present, a vessel for the shipment of bananas.
