Welling ton Gossip.

(FJK>M A COEUESPONDEjNT.)
Wellington, Last Dight.
Very free comments are being made in the city re the action of the Government in allowing the Hawera settlers to assume the reins, undertaking to protect life and property in the district. It is maintained that such action, and ignoring all respon. sibility, the Executive Council should not accept. Ploughing operations will be extended over all the disputed block, the natives maintaining that the Crown had no legal right to confiscate native lands, and therefore are unable to give legal title to the occupiers. This course is their mode of protest. The natives still assert they will not fight, but are
" pouri." The New Zealand Times is very harsh on the Premier's telegram to the Hawera settlers. . .,;■ '
The Chairmanship of Committees will probably, rest between Bunny and Seymour.,
