At this meeting, frequent reference was made to the recent murder of a native of this tribe, by another at Whangaroa, entirely in the sense of indignat on at the act, and a desire for its punishment; several proposing if justice cannot be otherwise done, to effect the capture of the murderer by force. The Governor made some appropriate remarks upon the duty of submission of such questions to the ordinary operation of the law. Proceeding on the morning of the 18th., he was met at Taheke, by Mr. Van Sturner, R.M., Mr. Webster of Hokianga, and other Europeans; also by the Chief, Moses Tawhai, and a number of the natives. After a Iuncheon provided by the widows of the Chiefs Adam Clarke and Heke, the party embarked in boats, and in a large canoe, and proceeded to Hurst Point, where the Governor was very heartily received.
