OUTRAGES IN PATEA. Patea, March 24.
Disturbances are now of almost daily occurrence here. A settler, named Bayley, residing on his own purchased land, a short distance inland from Kakaramea, was ordered off by a native. He refused to go. Bay ley had brought down some timber for building purposes. Two days ago the Maori, with some others, returned, chopped up and destroyed the whole of his timber, and again ordered hint off. Minor outrages are of daily occurrence. [^ince the above came to hand, we hare heard, on reliable authority, that on Tuesday last about twenty sheep were speared by natives on the Waitofcara. Mr. Booth should now do hit duty firmly and impartially ai Resident Magistrate, and', notwithstanding the manner) in which Colonel McDonnell has been treated, we have no doubt he will see the decisions of the Magistrate carried out, and not. allow the action taken by Mr. Parris to prevent settlement in tjhose fine districts. ] — Wanganui Times-
