NEW PLYMOUTH.
Friday.
By the permission of tbe Government, a surveyor is about to proceed to the Mokau to survey land for which Jones and Co. are in treaty with the natives, preparatory to the sitting of the Native Land Court.
Large numbers of natives are assembling at Parihaka, and large quantities of provisions are being conveyed there. Extensive crops of potatoes are being cultivated there, and from the bearing of the natives it is thougnt that they will make a stand against the settlement of the plains. - Hiroki is engaged hoeing potatoes, and carries a loaded gun with him. His wife has not died of grief, but is living with another man.
Mr J. Kelly, member for New Plymouth, and Mr 11. Weston, proprietor of the Taranaki Herald, have been charged by the harbour engineer with conspiracy to oust him from his appointment. The committee of the Harbour Board are investigating the charges. The matter has caused some excitement here.
