P.P.S. Last week Wiremu Erangi, according to custom, with the former owners of the Waiwakaiho Estate, went to gather some fruit of the Karaka's, when he was opposed by Mr. Richardson, who foolishly threw himself into a violent passion and exasperated the native, who came into Town, and, in the presence of Honi Ropiha, Pohorama and myself, told the Resident Magistrate that nothing would now induce him to part with the Reserve on Mr. Richardson's estate; and that he would commence cultivating the same forthwith. Edwin Davy is very naturally disguised with the difficulties now thrown in the way of pending negotiations, by one who should know better, and one whose misfortune it is to be a profound misanthrope, which all who know him will testify.
