We learn from Auckland that the Hon. the Defence Minister has given instructions fo have a full enquiry made into the circumstances of the Native outrage at Ohinemuri the other day (detailed in our columns on Tuesday last), in which some bridges and swamp crossings were destroyed and the Natives behaved in a generally bumptious manner. Mr Sheeban, wo learn, intends, if it is proved the Natives have been in the wrong, to have the principal offenders arrested. We are pleased to learn that the Native Minister is determined to deal firmly with the obatruetionists. He told some of them that he would do no, and that they must submit to the law. If a wholesome example were made of some of these bounceable gentry, we believe that in a short time Europeans would not have much to complain of, and these aggressive acts would become less frequent.
