The child had been staying with her sister, her parents being in Wanganui. HAWKBA, September 30. Native Affairs. The ploughing difficulty near Otakeho has been satisfactorily settled. Mr Adam Hunter, owner of the land, yesterday interviewed the Native Minister, and asked what he should do. He was informed that if he desired the Natives to be removed or arrested that should be done, but if ho preferred to make arrangements with them, the Government would not interfere It was entirely in bis (Hunter’s) hands. Mr Hunter thought under the circumstances he could hardly bo expected to bring his wife and family to live on the deferred payment land. The Native Minister declined to mix up the question of residence with that of the Maori trespass. If Mr Hunter wanted the Maoris removed, he had only to say so and it would be done. Of course it was possible that the Maoris might give further trouble. It was pointed ont by Oapt. Wilson that the Maoris were willing to give a share of the crops, and he said they had no other ground to cultivate. After some delay, Mr Hunter agreed to accept one-third of the crop as rent of the land. Captain Wilson and Mr Hunter then proceeded to Otakeho, and saw the Maoris, who had not ploughed since the previous day. Tairua Kins, a returned prisoner, objected, but ultimately gave way, and consented with the rest of the Maoris (about half-a-dozen), to pay his rent in kind. Mr Hunter still declines to take his wife and family on to the land, and consented to an arrangement, partly to avoid the responsibility of being the first to bring possible trouble on the Plains, and partly so as not to incur personal odium from the Natives.
