PATEA.
Saturday.
The natives, acting under instructions from Parihaka, having refused to allow gravel to be taken from the Waimate Plain side of the Waingaroa river, to repair the road, William Williams and Eatene went to talk the matter over, and though the opposition of the natives was strong, and violent language was used, the gravel pits were opened, and carting was commenced. The opposition natives look upon this as literally taking away the land, and offered stronger opposition than to the commencement of the survey. As, however, their prophet, Te Whiti, has promised that everything shall be restored to them in March, they have concluded to let the gravel be taken in the meantime.
