act in accordance with such professions, were received, was encouraging. The Governor pointed out, moreover, that the tribe had in their own hands the means of obtaining the advantages of European settlement, by selling sufficient land to induce it; but if they would not do so, they could not receive the contingent advantages. The old Chief, Moses, took several opportunities of conversing with the Governor; and expressed his desire for a good school in the Waima valley, where there are nearly 100 children; secondly, that Adam Clark, the younger, may be appointed Assessor; who would, he hoped, succeed him in his position in the tribe; and thirdly, that the road from Hurst Point to Taheke, may be made, so as to facilitate European intercourse. With regard to this last, he asks that he may be entrusted with the expenditure of the funds, without their passing through the hands of the Native Member for the District. He thinks that for this purpose £2000 from the general fund would suffice.
