On the following morning he was accompanied on a visit to Mr. Webster's business residence by three large canoes; the Natives performing a dance at Mr. Webster's, and afterwards at Hurst Point. At about 2 p.m., a large Meeting was held; and again much reference was made to the Whangaroa murder; but on this occasion, rather (at least by some speakers) in the sense of debate, whether or not the murderer should be surrendered; and of demand that the question should be considered by the tribe. Whereupon the Governor interposed, and strongly commented upon the inconsistency of professions of loyalty, and submission to the law, with any hesitation to submit such matters to its sole judgement. The old Chief, Moses, followed, and severely reproved some who had claimed the right of the Chiefs to be consulted in the matter.
