NATIVE TROUBLE.
Tuta has informed Inspector Emerson that he might kill or shoot him, but he would never give up the Waipiri block, which he says was taken from him illegally by the Native Land Court. Tuta admired the Inspector’s medals, and remarked that he wo'uld like to fight under him for the Queen, as he had done before during the native wars, where his father fell fighting under the British colours. Her Majesty had presented him with a large framed photograph of herself, and a sword. Inspector Emerson is satisfied that Tuta will ofl’er him no resistance.
