He has only one child. The wife's maiden name was Mere to Aweawe, a sister of' Peetite - Aweawe. The reason as- . sigaed by Moffat to the Natives for his visit to Tuhua was not prospecting for gold, but S respecting for bank notes, a bundle of which e is stated to have concealed there, some years ago, after an attempt on the part of the Natives to rob him of. £IOOO, which he was known to have in his house. This money he - received for a share in a flour-mill at Manngatatari, of which he was manager. There ... will be muoh grief among his Maori friends at Palmerston, where he was liked. of late "years, notwithstanding his unenviable noto- .--. .rioty. About eighteen months ago the deceased Moffatt and his wife were staying for . some three weeks in Wellington, first residing at the \D like of Edinburgh, and afterwards.at • Wakeford's Hotel, Manners street.
