NEW PLYMOUTH.
March 25. The surveyors have been driven off the Waimate plains to-day by a Maori named Te Manu, who some time ago committed an outrage at Opunake by biting off the finger of Mra. Bartlett, the landlady of the Opunake Hotel. The instruments and camp fixings belonging to Skeat's party have been brought by Maories m drays across the Waingoragora River, and the drays have returned to bring all the other surveyors' parties off the plains. Information of these proceedings was received here officially this morning. Te Whiti is thought to be unconnected with it. Major Brown is expected at Hawera to-morrow, and will it is hoped, be able to put matters right.
