NAPIER.

, This day. Unlawful? Selling Ammu-

nition.

Borzutzsky, a gunmaker, has been arrested on the charge of selling ammunition to a man without a license. A man named Anderson had bought ammunition in very large (joantities for the natives, and a constable saw him hand it to the natives, but when the constable tried to seize it he and the natives galloped off. He was subsequently arrested as well as one of the natives who'had part of the spoil in his possession. Last week three natives were arrested at Woodville, en route for the West Coast with 2cwt of shot and a large bag of powder, bnt were released on a telegram from the Native Minister. These natives are known to be followers ofTe Whiti. Another Native Land Claim. The natives renew their claim for 250 acres of Harding's property at Mount Vernon, which is valued at from £10 to £15 per acre, and let at from £1 to £1 10s per annum. They again turned one of the tenants off the land yesterday, unyoking his horses and throwing the plough over the boundary. No claim was before made to this land. An official notification has been received that Government will not interfere. The Herald's Waipawa correspondent, however, tonight telegraphs that the natives profess themselves willing to submit their claims to a number of old settlers.
