Henare Potae, at the meeting at Poverty Bay, after the Commission had adjourned, said the discontent among the Natives was more deeply seated than was supposed. He urged that it was the duty of the Government nob to father the Natives, but to keep the Court oftener. Through the action of Henare Matua the business had been stopped. The Natives would regard this as a further sign of the weakness and degeneracy of the Europeans. A majority of the Natives supported the repudiation movements. Henare Matua’s mission is acknowledged to be a great success. The action of the Government in stopping the Commission is regarded in Napier as a mistake.
