A NATIVE LAND SQUABBLE.
(Per Press Association.)
Russell, Today.
A party of police were despatched to Whangaruru yesterday to arrest some natives who completely destroyed an house with axes. It appears* a "dispute had arisen over a piece of land surveyed, but not passed through the. Court. Two parties claim it. One just put a house up 7 and the other pulled it down. The latter were brought before the Court and fined, but on their return to Whungaruru again took possession, and threaten to kill any one who attempts to interfere. There will probably continue to be trouble until the Land Court decides who are the rightful owners.
