TREATMENT OF A MAORI WOMAN
GRAVE ALLEGATIONS. (By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.) Wanganul, July 5. Two Pipiriki residents write to the local newspapers calling attention to the treatment of a Native woman there. She is ■ partially paralysed, and unable to move about. Lately, a large number of the Pipiriki Natives have been away at a tangi in another pa, and tho unfortunate woman has been left in a very mean tenement, four feet by five, desoribed as being "nothing better than a pig-styo." She, is almost destitute of clothing. The two correspondents referred to aver that her cries and'groans can be heard 200 yards away, but they were unable to get any of the Maoris to attend to Iter, and they ask the. press to call on tho Government to give attention to, tho case of friendless, crippled Maoris, with a view to homes being established in which they may get that attention which humanity demands.
