	MATAI TITLES
		Losing candidate for matai title and his supporters could not prevail in their contention that a single title could be held by a "court-selected matai" and a rival "family-selected matai"; territorial statutes prohibit anyone but the legally registered matai from disposing of communal lands or authorizing improvements on such lands.
		In matai title dispute, recognition or non-recognition of matai by village, district, and county councils were properly before the court only insofar as might be relevant to whether the matai had wilfully failed to comply with customary requirements and formalities for acceptance and recognition by the village.
		When a matai undermines the rights of a family member (a beneficiary of family property) to favor a non-family member, he acts inconsistent with, and is in breach of, that duty to exercise his pule for the benefit of the family members.
