MR BRADLAUGH M.P. ON THE MAORI QUESTION.
London, Oct. 19. Mr Bradlaugh, the member for Northampton, has written to the papers, drawing public attention to the fact that the Maoris arrested several months ago at Parihaka, in the New Plymouth district, New Zealand, for resisting the authorities taking possession of the Wairaate Plains, have been detained in prison without trial for an unprecedented length of time. He states that the Maoris, in resisting the attempt of the Government to assume possession of the confiscated land, wore acting within what they believed to be their' legal rights, and he protests against the detention of the Maoris without trial as an illegal and arbitrary act.”
