I have not been paid for it. But I will let him live undisturbed; and I hope no act of the natives will give him further annoyance. The natives have since taken a piece of land that has been cleared by Mr. Low; and planted potatoes there. Hearing of this, I reminded Ngatata's son of his friendly promises; and wished he would prevent the natives from further encroachment on cleared lands that were possessed by Low. On the interference of Ngatata's son, his Title was disputed; and this European is unable to go on with his work. No. 2. August 20th. 1844. A complaint by the natives of Muturoa, for damages done by Capt. King's cattle, to their potatoes. Having visited their plantations, the damages were calculated at the rate of 40 baskets; for payment of which I applied to Capt. King; and that gentleman, at my request, awarded a sum of £1.10 for damages,- which amount satisfied the natives.
