The Wellington Free Lance states: — “ Probably the most striking personality in the Scddon funeral cortege was the Native Minister, the lion. James Carroll. He led the right-hand string of bearers and looked like a page of history—the page referring to the evolution of the Maori! He was a unique mixture of solemn pakeha and sorrowful native. On his head a tall hat and round it was woven a wreath of some green stuff, emblematic of native mourning, and this, with a tweed overcoat in the pockets of which his hands found refuge from the chill air, gave him the look of a rangatira togged for an occasion.

The .Wellington Free Lance—at a safe distance—gets off its little joke:— A “ wild man of the woodshas been a number one terror in the Waipiro (Poverty Bay) district for a good many years. The outlaw, who is a Maori who evidently grew tired of civilisation and honesty, took to the bush with a rille. Of course, like Ellis (who was a “ dead shot,” having hit Collinson from' a distance of ten yards!), marvellous talcs are told of Matcnga’s markmanship. He can, it, is said, spin a three penny bit in the air, hit it with one ride bullet as it goes up and again as it comes down '! If so, lie’s got a special "thrum.” Poverty Bay people aro now turning out to niff Matcnga down, but, as he lias been feeding on other people's Hocks and herds for several years, and as also the Maoris are frightened to “ give him away,” lie seems to be quite safe. We would suggest that the Wellington police trooper with the actor head of hair should go to Poverty Bay and frighten him to death.
