AUCKLAND ITEMS.
[Fkom Our Correspondent.]
AUCKLAND, October 13. The Auckland Acclimatisation Society is indignant at the proposal of the Government to acquire the Rotorua acclimatisation district, and has drafted a formidable petition in protest, but so far no very sound argument has been, advanced against the acquisition. It is about time that the Maoris were allowed to havo a reasonable quantity of fteh free. The lakes are teeming with fish, and they cannot be caught fast enough at present to keep down the increase, but the Maoris are not allowed that freedom to fish' in the waters which it is argued the treaty of Waita-ngi gave them. Mr Seddon promised to movein the matter, but unfortunately he died before he could carry out his promise.
