PATEA. 5th December.
The stoppage by the Government of the survey of the Waimate Plains when everything was ripe for success, has raised a strong feeling of indignation among Europeans. It is looked upon in the light of a disaster, and as a breacli of faith with natives on the Patea side of the Waingongora River, who only withdrew opposition to the Government acquisition of the land they claimed on the understanding that the survey of the plains would follow. The Maoris are in high glee all over the district, and say the confiscated land will all be returned. Serious complications are expected, and a bouncenble attitude on the part of the natives is already developing.
