To the Editor of the Jla-cke's Bay Time<t. Si?., —i'roin the tenor of Mr. Mucarthy’s letters we may conclude that he is about to be compelled to become a law-breaker whether he will or no, as his cattle are only released until lie shall be able to arrange with the Un-Indent natives as to the sums lie shall pay them for grass money fur past and future. Cannot the “ strong arm of the law” ! ! ! be now extended for its own preservation, and for the protection of those who do not wish to violate it, from the oppression of those who refuse to acknowledge it and defy its execution. I perceive the natives have not appeared to answer (he Magistrate’s summons —what will bo done next ? I am. sir. Yours, &c.. Lex. Napier, Oct. 1, 1801.
