The County authorities have, telegraphed to the Native Minister the circumstances under which the Ngatihaku
natives have interfered with tho snagging operations. We trust instructions will be given to have those individuals who have taken the law in their own hands treated to a taste of English law, when administered by their pakeha friends. It is time that a stop was put to such freaks by those simple children of nature, and if the Government do not at once administer a caution to Epiha, Pakaha and others, the blame should rest with the Ministry—not be on the shoulders of the County Council, who, if it could have its own way, would, we believe, take such a course as the law of the land provides.
