The matter received some attention at the welcome to the Hon. lluia Onslow at Otaki on Wednesday, when - Ln "era'. natives voiced tilinr grievacces. The Premier, in replying, asked : Why shoukl not a college be established at Papawai ami another at Otaki ? He blamed the natives !or the laxity, they had displayed over the matter till Bishop Wn'llis drew attention to the failure to give clTect to the'donors' wishes. Jle said the natives in the end would benefit iliy the Bishop's judgment.
