Native Trouble.
(by telegraph.) Gisborke, November 5. The Waipiro correspondent of the Herald wires that Inspector Emerson, with 12 police and 12 artillerymen, arrived there from Auckland thid morning. Tuto marched his men, women, and children to the beach when, the force landing, Tuto was brought before Sir G. Whitmore and Messrs Wallis and Emerson, J.P.'s. to answer the charges preferred against him by Pini Amini. Inspector Emerson has wired the Government for instructions as to whether or not he shall arrest- Tuto, also whether
to disarm them of their fowling pieces. Tuto and his people seemed quite prepared to submit to the law, knowing that he will fight it out in Court later on. At present the natives are unsettled, and have returned to talk the matter over. Sommerville Brothers start shearing on the 11th, and Tufco's men are their shearers. They promise to leave camp and shear when wanted. Pini's people shear for Wallis. Thirty armed men of the Government forces in all are here.
