Indeed, rome of them stated that they were, in receipt of letters from him which contained promises; which the natives understand to mean that i

if he succeed in ousting ihe Ministry next session, land secure the portfolio.of Native Minister for himself, he will at once return the greater part of the Waikato to them*.

They are, therefore, very anxious to know whether there is any truth in the report that Sir Donald McLean jyiJF be pfetedy ‘Ka hinga ranei te Makatini -k&' tenci.

One 'natiyej' Whohaffhaid little, now remarked—‘Who is this Grey 7 Is the; same person that confiscated our land V Another replied

—‘ Yes.’ ‘ Well, then,’ replied the first, ‘ we are not such ignorant ’people as toTmagTae* that he will be able to restore it. He will promise to do so, but if ho gets power he will seize more.’ Another chief said— ‘ This Grey is not strong. He is only a huperi- . tenlti (a superintendent.’) I asked—‘ Are yoU anxious for him to come up here? ’ Te Ngakau replied—‘ No ; but if he comes we will give him some food.’ Another chief—‘Yes, the same as you, or any other European.’ I saw a policeman here to-day in unifom., Jt ; Te »Wheoro’a native policemapy Reputed to be an exceedingly sniart “fellow. ■■■It'was however quite a healthy sign to see a policeman going about amongst the King natives as unconcernedly as Constable Kidd walks up and down Queen street.”
