WAIROA.
The natives of this district hitherto apparently so friendly to Europeans and-European interests seem at last to be awake to the advantages of the New Policy. It appears that Mr. Morris was wishful to introduce a quantity of sheep to his run at Mahia, with this intention about 500 were selected, and these were on their way to Mahia, and were about to be ferried across the Wairoa river, when a native rejoicing in the name of Big Henry took forcible possession of the ferry boat, and positively refused to permit any sheep to cross. After waiting for two days <£'3 were offered as a persuader to “Henry the Great,” but it was of no avail, and for anything we know the sheep are still at the wrong side of the river. These provoking obstructions by the Natives to the progress of the Province are fast multiplying.
