The cause of death is a gun-shot, which would lead to the belief that a murder has been committed. AUCKLAND, April 19th. Mr Costella, an old settler in Auckland, died to-day. He left about £lOO,OOO, dividable between the Hospital, Free Library, Children’s Training School, Parnell Orphanage, Auckland Institute, Old Men’s Home, and Sailors’ Home. WELLINGTON, Yesterday. Mr Bryce and party arrhied at Otorougata on Tuesday. The railway can be cheaply constructed to that point. Wi Pere and others met Mr Bryce as delegates from the Te Kuiti meeting. They stated the meeting had decided to petition Parliament to amend the laws dealing with native lands. The natives did not seem clear about what they wanted, but the motive of the proposals is us follows :—The Chiefs find they are losing influence as the lands are sold, and wish to prevent those willing to sell from so doing. They would have it the land should be held in common, and the majority should have power to prevent the individualisation of title.
