THE LINCOLNSHIRE FARMERS.

TMMEDfATriL? lipon the conclusion as to terms between the Crown Lands Board ' and Capt. Steele, the latter "telegraphed Home to his brincijbals informing, them that everything cohcer'ning the purchase of the Arolia"lands had been settled, 1 8ub« ject to the settlement of Mt Thomas RitssellS claim to" 1 a' p'ortidh" Qf the'bloclr. In ; reply Messrs Grant 1 and 'Foster 1 foave telegraphed fexp^fe'Siing' their apprbVal'Vtf what has tee^i done and "requesting Capt. Steele to urge upon the Government to settle the matter at once, a? this is necessarr before they can accept the terms. This indicates that as soon sts the lnnd is ready for settlement, no time will be lost in placing upon it that class, of settlers ■which we have long desired. Although Capt. ftteele has little doubt, backed by tho assurance of the Lands Board, that Mr Russell's claim will be Settled, Messrs Grant and ' Foster not being so well acquainted with the particulars naturally wished all doubts removed before sending out any settlersj. We sincerely hope in the interests of the Colony that the Government will allow no obstacle to stand in the way of the settlement of the Aroha lands by the Lincolnshire Farmers.
