done till my return. Pushed on to Tapuwai where I found the two policemen only, and Mark, who left town in the morning. Had lunch there. Was overtaken by the natives, and on we went on our journey. Called at Mr. Cutfield's new Station at Tataramaka, and at Hauranga Pahi. Found the natives there complained of the reserve in the new purchase. This reserve was a matter of conversation along the coast, and the difference between Mr. Bell and myself on this sugject was talked of by the natives, who were evidently previously incited by Mr. Bell to oppose this reserve, because he was not consulted before it was made. Slept at Wareatea. Found Minarapa there against orders. Spent the day at Wareatea.
