NATIVE AFFAIRS.
fPBH PBES3 ASSOCIATION SPECIAX, WISH.] NEW PLYMOUTH, July 20. The Natives again erected a fence across the road near the camp this morning at 11.30. It was pulled down by the constabulary, and two Natives commenced fencing again, when they were made prisoners. They evidently expected to be taken, and seemed pleased at the idea of a trip to Wellington. One asked that he should be served with blankets. They will be sent in to town to-night. fFEOJI OUB OWN OOBBBSPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, July 20. Government this afternoon received intimation that two Natives had again started fencing. Orders have been given to warn them to desist or they would bo arrested, but as they persisted in obstructing the road they were taken into custody. It is supposed that they had been sent by Te Whiti for the purpose of being arrested. Te Whetu was the murderer of Brady, some years ago, at Taranaki, and the Government have done a good stroke by capturing him. Nothing is yet decided re the disposal of the new prisoners.
