DISPUTE BETWEEN NATIVES.
[from our own correspondent.] Cambridge, Saturday. From Waotu comes intelligence of a native difficulty. Dissatisfaction at a judgment in a at the Native Land Court being the active cause. Piripi, a chief of the Ngati" Dgaronga, being unable to get a re-hearing of his case, and having failed to influence the authorities by a visit to Wellington, has taken the law into his own hands, and, with a party of men, bbeked up the road by felling trees across it. The natives, Harry Symondsand party, to whom the lands were adjudged, though the stronger party, have appealed to the law. Mr. Bryce has been communicated with by Colonel Lyon, and has received an answer that the matter must be met by the ordinary process of common law. There is, however, hope that the matter may be amicably arranged, and Messrs. Blake and Moon have left for Waotu with that object.
