A DEPUTATION OF NATIVES WAIT ON MR BRYCE IN THE KING COUNTRY.
Aucklaxd, This day. The Hon. Mr Bryce and party arrived at Otorongata on Tuesday. A railway can be cheaply constructed to that point. Wi Fere and others met Mr Bryce as delegates from the Te Kuiti meeting. They stated that the meeting had decided to petition Parliament to amend the law dealing with native Isud. The natives did not seem clear about what they wanted, but the motive of the proposals was as follows: the chiefs find themselves losing influence as the lands are sold, and wish to prevent those willing to sell from so doing; they would have it where the land is held in common, and the majority should have power to prevent the iudividualisatiou of the title.
