the tracing by me with a X are cleared, in fact form a part of Mr. Smart's farm; which he declares was given to him by the Governor, when Mr. Thatcher was Private Secretary; and that Waitana was present at the time. Mr. Smart understands the Fitzroy boundary, shown in pencil, coming along the original road, and then running at an angle, through section 186 to the river Waiwakaiho. I am not aware that Mr. Smart suffered any interference from that marked with a X, until he went to the spot which I have marked with a and cut down timber. , and is persisted in by Mr. Smart; who, believe, employs a man named Stockman for the purpose of cutting the timber. Honi Ropiha says if Smart continues to persist in cutting wood from the land marked with a , trouble will ensue; and may be the cause of the land marked with a X being taken possession of by the natives as it is outside the FitzRoy boundary, and unpurchased. I have spoken to Mr. Smart, without any effect.
