NAPIER.
This day.
Herika, the native charged with burning another Maori was today committed for trial at the Supreme Court.
William Colenso writes to the Herald asking when this meddlesome interference with natives is to cease. He says that Herika was only following out an old practice amongst Maoris, who like the natives of India and other countries, often relieve,.; pain by burning the sufferers. He adds that this method of cure is very efficacious sometimes.
The Herald declares it has authority for stating that the proposal of the Government relative to the substitutes for the subsidies referred to in the Governor's speech will take the forms suggested by Mr Ballance, namely—making all native and Crown Lands subleot to rates.
