He demurred, on the ground of not having credentials* whereupon Bewi handed him Potatau'sjsewl, saying: ;—" Well, here is all tinii remains of jPotatau; take that to the Governor, who will not disbelieve you." Bewi fuither said he regarded the Governor as tho Queen, adding, and the. Queen never tells lies, i The general impression in the Waikato is that the Government hurried the Governor through in such a manner that he should reap as few laurels as possible, and exhibited a fidgetty anxiety th'tt he shou'd not meet the natives'.
