GOVERNMENT TELEGRAM.
REMOVAL OF THE MAORIS BY THE ARMED CONTSABULARY. The Premier courteously has forwarded to us the following telegram, just received from Major Tuke :— Oakuba, This Day, 1 4 p.m. I removed Maori ploughmen, and have taken their bullocks, drays, and ploughs to tbeir kainga. They were addressed in tho first place by Mr. Carrington, who told them that if they went off the ground quietly no harm would ensue. If they refused they would be forced. They refused, and I immediately sent a patty to each plough and carted them away, using the Maori drays and bullocks. Unarmed men only were employed, and there was no resistance whatever, or any anger displayed on either side. The natives followed us off the field, and are now at tbeir whare* talking over the afiair.
