GRAHAMSTOWN,

(From our own Correspondent.) This day

The Tairua Disputes Settled.

The litigation re the Tairua Prospectors Claim was settled this morning by the original claimants giving way and recognising the other claims. The terms are satisfactory to all parties. Such a thing will not occur again, as amendments to the Mining Districts Act are being prepared, and will be introduced into the Assembly by the Superintendent, limiting new ground to five acres, with .seven acres for prospectors instead of thirty in all new ground. Sir George Grey's conduct in refusing to take the ground out of the goldfields is universally commended by the mining community.

LATER,

After the adjourning of the Warden's Court last night negotiations were entered into for the settlement of the Tairua cases, and this morning counsel for the parties and the wardens were engaged and have now settled the matter on the following terms : The license applied for by Neeves and Graham is to be granted to Neeves, Graham and J. E. MaeDonald, the name of the latter being inserted for the purpose of carrying out the arrangements. 2. All objections to the granting of the license are to be withdrawn and all actions withdrawn. 3. A claim of 20 men's ground will be marked out in the Northwest corner of the claim, for which MaeDonald is to be granted a license. 4. A claim is to be marked out on the site of Bergin's claim for which Bargin is to get a license. The Tairua claim amounts to 81 men's ground ; Bergin's claim will be 14J. Therefore, the Tairua company are left 46£ men's ground. At half - past eleven o'clock the Court met, when the Warden announced that all the Tairua cases would be adjourned till three o'clock. He said this was done with the view of maturing matters Jfeeves and party get where their gold was discovered. It is reported that with a view of trying to get the Government to withdraw ground, and give all to one of the litigants, the lawyers telegraphed to Dr. Pollen, saying there would be blood shed. Pollen telefrapbed, asking the Warden if blood was owing freely, fhe lawyers have certainly bled the litigants, but there is no fear of any other bleeding.
