WELLINGTON.
Saturday,
■ It appears there iias bsen some confusion of ideas as to tlie exact meaning of Tomoana's remarks in the House regarding his conversation with Mr Hall respecting the appoiutmeut of Native Minister. The tacts are that two days ago Te Wbeoro and Tomoana asked Hall if in the event ol" Ms party getting into power he would appoint anyone to fill the place of Hoani JNahe. Te Wheoro and Tomoana complained that the present Government had never consulted Hoani Nahe since ho bad been a member of the Ministry, and they wished to know whether the nest Native Minister would be treated in the same way by Hall and his Ministers. Mr Hall replied that he would always consult every member of any Government with which he might be connected.
It is said the misapprehension was owing to a mistake in interpreting tli« words
used by Tomoana not being accurately construed.
