TROUBLE AT PARIHAKA.
MAORIS BEFORE THE COURT. THREE MONTHS’ ADJOURNMENT. The hearing of a number of charges against several Maori-, all of which were brought as a result of dissension amongst natives at Parihaka Pah, was concluded on Saturday before Mr. R. W. Tate, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court at New Plymouth. The magistrate stated that he was satisfied that offences had been committed, but he thought that the Maoris should be able to live happily together without quarrelling. He accordingly adjourned the cases for three months, without entering convictions, stating that he would ask the constable at Rahotu to report on their conduct at the end of that time. Before the court rose, the magistrate addressed the Maoris in general, through the interpreter present, advising them to keep the peace, a n<! warning them of the penalties that might be imposed if they did not.
