THE ATTITUDE OF THE KINGITES.
«■ . OBSTRUCTIONS TO PUBLIC WORKS IN THE NORTH.
In yesterday's paper ive narrated how the Kingites, emboldened by the oratory in which they indulged at Hiknmngi, had become quite " bounceable," had driven off the cattle of Mr. Ross, from the south of the Puniu ; and had also driven oft" the cattle of Messrs. Tole from Ngamoko. Yesterday information readied town that the natives at Makarau, in the Kaipara district, had again obstructed the roadmaking by Mr. Palmer. These natives are under a chief named Hori Kingi. who calls himself a Hauhau, or Tareao, and says that he is acting under the orders of the King. Permission to make the road was obtained some time since through Mr. R. de Thierry, from Te Hemara Tauhia, of Mahurangi, and others, and when completed it; would be of great service to the district. It is probable that when the business which has brought Te Hemara and other natives to town is completed, they will return with Mr. Percy Smith, and with the aid of the settlers of the neighbourhood, will insist on the work being proceeded with. We are not aware whether Hori Kingi makes any claim, to stop the roadmaking other than the mere Kingite one.
