The Governor has omitted to state that at Mongonui, anxiety was expressed that a competent successor to Mr. White, R.M., may be appointed. Although it may be necessary to reduce the number of Resident Magistrates, it does seem important to the well-being of the natives, that some one well acquainted with them should be responsible for their being looked after. Perhaps someone might be placed at Mongonui, subordinate to a neighbouring R.M. Mr. Kemp was most attentive and efficient in his assistance during the tour.
