The Native Minister, accompanied by Majors Mair and Roberts, Mr McKay and Captain Mail*, held a meeting yesterday with

Manga and the assembled natives. Manga opened the proceedings by formally laying down the boundary over which King's mana must be reorganised. This boundary runs from Horohora to Ahiamuri and Whangainata, Lake Taupo. and if recognised would shut up tho Tokoroa country between Ahiamuri and Cambridge and defer to an unknown period the opening up of the main line of road to the latter place. After Rewi's speech the Ngatirakawa chief addressed the Native Minister vehemently, and nearly entirely repudiated the King's boundary laid down by Manga, and asserting their determination to deal with their ancestral lands of Tokoroa, and in whatever way they deemed best, and requested that the question of ownership be settled by the Native Land Court and the roads opened, declaring that such was the full and matured policy of the large majority of the Ngatirakowa tribes. The meeting was adjourned till the next day. Wellington, March 24.

At the nomination to day, Mr Travers and Mr Hutchison were the only candidates proposed. The Returning Officer declared the show of hands in favor of Mr Hutchison. The number of electors present was larger than usual.
