PROSPECTING.

We copy the following letter from the Bay of Plenty Times: — (To the Editor of the Bay of Plenty Times.) Sir, —We saw certain words in your newspaper saying that Mr. Clarke had driven off the European wno was proceeding to Kaimai to search for gold. This is a false statement. It was not by Mr. Clarke's order, but by ours. The reason for our so acting was that we were not willing that the European should go thither when things were in confusion, but when matters were finished properly, after discussion, then the European could go quietly. ISTow that European, Barry, did not prospect at Kaimai, but on land elsewhere, hence our sending certain persons to search for him. This is what we said to those persons, "Go and look; if he is at Purepure take him to Kaimai, the land which has been opened." On their arrival there they saw Barry sitting at Purepure ; the Hauhaus sent him back (from where he had been working). In our opinion Barry did not reach Kaimai at all, but was staying at Purepure. This also is our opinion: it is not Clarke who is creating confusion, but "Warbrick. " Friend Warbrick cease to do evil, and stop vilifying the names of other men." That is all.—Prom your friends, Hori JSTgatai. Enoka te Whanake. Whareroa, 25th September, 1876.
