" Sworn to no master — " Of no sect am I "
SATURDAY, MAY 25.
The passed fortnight has marked ari important era in the annals of Tauranga, We allude to the visit of his Horior the Superinteudent, which will doubtless be productive of beneficlal results. Having witnessed for himseif, the condition and requjrements of the place, he will better able tojudge and draw conclusions therefrom than if he had merely trusted to report. iAt the meeting that took place during his visit here, he expressed himseif favorably towards the place, and declared his iiitention, of having it proclaimed a to-vvnship and made a port of entry, both of which are steps in the rig'nf airection, mere especially the lattei\ Indeed, it has become almost imperatively necessary that Tauranga should be- made a port of entry, to put a sUOp tiiis disgraceful, but undeniable practice of smuggling powder and shot to the rebels. How, or rather by whom this culpabie practice has been carried on would be difficult to conceive, but sin.ee the powder and shot could neither fiy nor walk into the Hau hau camp, it is evident it must have come there by human agency.
