with Katatori, saw the damage damage that had been done,- for which he demanded £2.10/-. I considered the sum exhorbitant; and told him that he must lower his demands. He then asked a double-barrelled gun. I expostulated with him for making such out-of-the-way demands; and I wished him to make a statement of the number of baskets; and he would not consent to tell the number; but threatened if he did not get paid, he would break down the bridge, or destroy the cattle. I told him the consequences of such conduct. After some consideration he agreed to take 20/-. Having applied to Mr. Gillingham for this sum, he would not pay it; and considered that 10/- would be much more than the damage would amount to, were it valued. I accepted of the 10/-; and to keep peace I consulted with the Police Magistrate as to the propriety of giving him a further sum of 10/- to preserve peace.
