Another case of flagrant opposition to Government orders occurred on Friday afternoon, when Mr Hickson, Government surveyor, was driven off land he was surveying at Hikutaia, by Hakapene Teuva and Rawaraia with six other Maoris, who pulled down his trig pole, and pulled up his surrey pegs. Mr Hickson left on Friday evening for Auckland in order to communicate with the Government. The Government should after this exhibition do something in furtherance of their own objects, and not allow themselves to be quietly sat upon, and their objects frustrated by a rascally pack of Maori canaille.
