MINISTERS AND THE KOPUA MEETING.
[Press Special Wire.] Wellington, April 25 The Waikato correspondent of the “ New Zealand Times” telegraphs:—“lt has come out that Sir George Grey will not be invited by Tawhiao to attend the meeting. The labours of the agents have been in vain. To an urgent demand on the part of Ministers for an invitation, Manuhiri lately answered, ‘I don’t wish to see Grey again. We saw him at Hikurangi. That was enough. We know him of old. All people are free to come to the meeting on the 28th, and Grey may come like any other pakeha, but he will not be invited.’ “ Rewi has been worried, I hear, to ask Sir George Grey and Mr Sheehan to Punui. Hearing this, Te Ngakau "said, ‘lf Manga (Rewi) chooses to be a Governmer t man it does not matter. He stands alone.’”
