Ths late rescuk at Clive. — We learn that the glaring defiance of "law and order" which was chronicled in our issue of Saturday — the breaking open by a party of natives of the lock-up at Clive, and the rescue of a prisoner— has been taken up by the Civil Commissioner. That officer required that the natives should deliver up the prisoner to justice and restore the building to its pristine condition. The natives replied that they would take time to consider the.matter. Up to last evening, so far as we can learn, no reply had been given. The prisoner remains at large, and justice has been outraged ; yet the case will probably be regarded by the.Government. as one of those little eccentricities on the part of the ignorant natives (!) which must be passed over and forgotten. To what a state of things is the colony tending.— Hawfo's Bay Herald.
