New Plymouth, Friday night. The trial of the fifty-nine natives charged with committing a breach of the West Coast Settlement Act, by wilfully obstructing-the road across the Parihaka block, commenced on Wednesday at New Plymouth, before Judge Shaw, and was expected to conclude early,' the .case being apparently very simple ; but a technical difficulty has cropped up, which may upset the proceedings. It said that although the Act was published, at Parihaka in due time, and 'the road was gazetted before the alleged offence was committee), the gazetted proclamation had not been published at Parihaka when the . natives went out to attempt the' fencing for which they were arrested, in whicn- * case the charge would fall to the ground.
