On November 14, 1955 T. Magalei together with a number of other chiefs of the village of Faleniu filed their petition seeking the eviction of defendant R. S. Tago Sianava from certain land in the Tualauta County. The land adjoins and lies to the right of the highway from New Mapusaga to New Aoloau. On the day preceding the hearing, the Court viewed the land in the presence of the Chiefs of Faleniu and Tago’s sister who lives on it. Tago was notified of his right to be present at the viewing but did not appear.
