THE NATIVE DISTURBANCE AT MATAMATA.
Nothing further has been done in the ploughing matter since my last, and Mr. Robinson is now busy cropping the land. Yesterday, however, . about 16 natives on horse and foot rescued from Mr. Dibble and some of his men four horses which had been found trespassing, and were being driven off to the pound. No violence was used, the natives were simply too many for the others, and succeeded in driving the horses back to their settlement. Mr. Fraser was present, and is going to lay an action against the natives who took part in the rescue. There are strong indications that the Maoris are getting frightened of the consequences of their late actions, and would like to get out of the scrape they have got themselves into ; bub having gone too far, and put the gentleman who han treated them so well to very much trouble and expense, it is not at all likely they will be allowed to get out of the mess without being taught a i>Bs<>n that may serve them in the future.— [Own Correspondent, October 28|.
