land to plant on. Enclosure No. 13. Mr. Chillman, clerk to the Resident Agent of the New Zealand Company, having had a quarrel with a native named Pukitapu, about the land occupied by Mr. Chillman. This quarrel was occasioned by Mr. Chillman having told the native that he was not the owner of the lands to which he was laying claim. The native, offended at Mr. Chillman's interference, ordered his tribe to commence planting potatoes on land that Mr. Chillman was then ploughing. Being informed of this, by one of Mr. Chillman's servants, who was sent for me by Mr. Chillman, I visited the spot, and found the natives planting potatoes on the ploughed field. I then told Pukitapu to refer all his grievances to me; not to take such measures upon himself; and to order his natives off the land; which he accordingly agreed to, stating that if I had not interfered, he would have continued planting, to shew Mr. Chillman he was the owner of the land. Since this they have lived peaceably.
