TARANAKI.
Quarrel amoxgst the Taraxaki Tribe. —A report is current, and we believe it to be correct, that a quarrel, not unlikely to lead no bloodshed, has arisen amongst the members of the Taranaki tribe. It appears that the ownership of moveable property amongst the natives is almost as complicated as that of their land. In the present case, a certain native of the Kingite party had some claim on tlie foal of a mare belonging to W. King, of Dmuroa, a Queen's native, and the first or second chief of the tribe. The claim being disputed, a relative of the claimant wounded the mare whilst one of W. King’s men was riding her, iu such a maimer that she lias since died. King is said to be highly incensed, and to have already built a warpa. The bitterness of his feeling is partly due to the exaction of toll, at the gate erected by Hie Kingites, on all men, live stock, and carts, Avliich pass it. —Taranaki Herald, Aug. 2.
