Tuhua
The opposition which in being offered to the advance of the gold prospectors into the Tnhua country, by the proprietors of the soil, is not unnatural. It appears that they consider the courtesy of consulting their wishes should have been extended to them. This omission is one of those small oversights which too often upset the most carefully prepared pirn*. The chiefs have derided to consult among themselves — no doubt to see at what price they will grant permission to the prospectors to proceed. It will be in the memory of our readers that we foretold possible obstructions would be raised by Maori Doctors and Pakeha Maoris, and we have a profound belief that the opinion then expressed is being justified by current events. One thing is certain — that the greater the opposition, the greater will be the determination of the Wanganui people to " get into the Tuhua."
