FROM THE Otago Daily Times. " Inveniam viam aut faciam." THURSDAY, .JANUARY 30, 1862.

We have been favoured with the sight of a communication to a mercantile firm in town from a miner at the Lindis, who signs himself H. M'Konzie and states that he has had a lengthened mining experience in California, in which he expresses a high opinion of the Lindis goldfield. . . . We would advise our readers to wait for further information, as the writer is evidently a very sanguine person. No doubt he believes in the capabilities of the Lindis field, but his desire seems to be to get a number of miners to the spot to prospect it. We understand that an action for false imprisonment has been instituted by Mr Chas. Birss against Major Crofcer, the Commissioner at Gabriel’s Gully. . . . Our readers will learn with pleasure that on and after to-morrow there will be a daily mail to and from the Goldfields and intermediate districts. For the present, this mail will only convey letters. From an advertisement in another part of our columns, we observe that mile posts are to be erected on the main Southern rood. SUPREME COURT. Civil Side. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29.
