HAWERA,
This Day. A very large number of Waimate natives, chiefly Titokawaru's men, and including Te Rama, are m to-day. They are suing Samuel Taplin for breach of agreement m not purchasing the whole of their grass seed. Taplin's set-off is, that some Maories sold grass seed to King, by which he considered the agreement broken by the natives. Te Rama says, some young men boasted to Te Whiti that they had used violence m removing the surveyors, upon which Te Whiti was exceedingly angry, and severely lectured the lying boasters. Te Whiti then sent for Kokiri, and investigated the matter. Te Rama says Te Whiti was pleased when he heard there had been no violence used by his people, as everything must be done peacefully and m order.
