This day, 8 a.m. Possible Native Difficulty .. , ...;': again. ; ,, : .... ; At the moment that I write there is every chance of a row at a place called Oerangi, at the opposite side of the river from Paeroa. Mr F. Cocks, who formerly kept the Pembroke Arms, Pollen street, Shbrtland, some time ago purchased a portion of a Crown Grant for a piece of land; some of the owners, amongst whom are Te Hira Te Luiri and Kopata te Pokiha, refused to sell their shares, which are not individualised ; and now they are about planting potatoes in the land. This Mr Cocks has resisted, and; he is now walking about with a revolver in his belt. The Natives are determined to carry out their intentions and to plough the land. They say if Cocks again interferes, as he has done once already,' then there' may be a "difficulty." A rush to a creek in the Waitekauri on Sunday night is reported, but I do not hear that there is much in -it. About three ounces of gold have been obtained.
