THE WEST COAST NATIVE RESERVES.
[IIY TKLKGKA FII. — i'RKSS ASSOCIATION.] JIaWEHA, Tuesday. Fuktiiku progress has been made by the trustee respecting the leasing of the West Const Settlement reserves, he having concluded an agreement with the leading natives of the Ngatimanutaiakai Impu, Titokowaru's tribe, for the leasing of *2100 acres of their land. The Chief Surveyor of Tarauaki paid the surveyors who are at work on the reserves a visit yesterday, witli a view of expediting their work. Some trouble arose yesterday at Taiporohenui with regard to the right of certain natives to lands. The matter is to be settled according to native customs in such matters, Mr. Nlackay having arranged that the leading man of the tribe, with the assistance of Hone Pihama, shall hold a meeting and settle in his presence the rights of the disputants. When the korero was going on the wife of the alleged aggressor threatened to burn the house on the land, and had actually set fire to it, but Mr. Mackay interfered and had it put out before any damage was done. It seencs this is not the first time she has burned a house down under similar circumstances.
