THE NATIVE DISTURBANCES.
(fltolf OtJB OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Wanganui, Wednesday. I have jnst returned from Hawera. A large number of natives are going and coming, and the settlers are very anxious, but appear confident of holding their own should occasion arise, if the Government would only supply them with arms. (PER PRESS AGENCY.) New Plymouth, Wednesday. There is no change in the state of affairs, and the natives are still ploughing up Mr. Courtenay’s paddock. Mr. William Bayley, of Stoney River, who came into town this morning, speaks very hopefully of the state of affairs, and says the natives who are his neighbors tell him not to fear, and they will protect him and his family. Te Whiti, it seems, ordered the natives to plough up Mr. Bayley’s land, but the chief Motutu sent back word it he wanted it done to send his own men to do it.
