The Parihaka meeting was attended by one thousand natives.

He said there was to be no more, ploughing, as his end was accomplished, and the selling or leasing of land was to be stopped. He disapproved of natives interfering with the land already sold, and it had not been done by his orders or consent. •.... -.■;■., ...
Tohu reiterated Te Whiti's words and told the wives .and children to go home and have faith in him, they should pray to the Lord that their fathers and husbands might be restored to them and it would come right. Jesus Christ was coming soon, and the end of the world would then take place. '.-■ ' V Election matters are very quiet here.
