The Kingites Unreasonable.
The .Native Minister, accompanied .by Majors Mair and Roberts, Mr Mackay, and Captain Mair, held meetings yesterday with Manga and the assembled Natives. Manga opened the proceedings by: formally laying down the boundary over which the King's rnana mustbe recognised. This boundary runs from Horohoro to Atimuri arid Whangamata, Lake Taupo; and, if recognised, would shut up" the Tokoroa country between Atimuri and Cambridge, and defer to an unknown date the opening up of the main line of road to the latter place. After Rewi's speech the Ngatiraukawa chiefs addressed the Native Minister. They vehemently and, nearly unanimously repudiated the King's boundary laid down-by Manga, and asserting their determination to deal with their ancestral lands of Tokoroa in
whatever way they deemed best, requested that the question of ownership be settled by the Native Lands Court, and the roads opened; declaring that such was [the full and matured policy of a large majority of the Wgatiraukawa tribe. The meeting was'adjourned till next day.
