According to a northern exchange the island and residence of Kawau, connected in the minds of New Zealanders with Sir George Grey, is to be re-sold. The place has many historic connections. Xt was there that Sir George Grey entertained the late Dr.ke of Edinburgh, uncle of King George V, when he came to this country in the warship Galatea, over fifty years ago. It was there also .that the Maori “King” Tawhiad, who was about to proceed to England, went to seek the advice of. Sir George Grey as to certain matters. The latter, knowing the weakness of his visitor, agreed to become a total abstainer, in order to prevail upon Tawhiao to do the same. The ‘’King’s” word was pledged, and loyally kept throughout his visit to Britain. It was likewise from Kawau that in 1880 Sir George wrote a lengthy letter of advice to King Malietoa, of Samoa, in connection with his dispute with Germany. Sir George bought the property in 1852 from a copper mining company. About twenty years ago it was sold to M’ James Thompson for £12,000, then re sold to Mrs Burton, Melbourne, for £23,000.
