A RIVAL TO TE WHITI.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
New Plymouth, January 22. A Maori named Riri was committed to-day to the Lunatic Asylum. He is a Parihaka native, and his hallucination was of such a nature as to make Te Whiti jealous. He declared that he was appointed of God to rule the natives, and that he had power to kill all wicked people, both Europeans and Maoris. Te Whiti did not like this attempted usurpation of his authority, and was the means of having Riri sent to the asylum.
