FENCING.
Mr A. Hunter informs us that he consented to compromise with the natives who were ploughing his land, on condition that he is allowed one-third the crop of potatoes. Had he been a single man, he would not have budged an inch, but he did not desire to be on bad terms with natives living in two pahs next his section* and lie did not wish to embroil his neighbors by bringing a war on the Plains, when it might be confined to Parihaka district. He says Mr Rolleston offered to arrest the ploughers, if Mr Hunter wished that done.
