NAPIER.
Tliisday. The Murimotu Difficulty.
Dr JBuller and the old chief lienata Kawepo return to-day from the Murimotu .country. Their friendly mission to Ngatiwhiti, and to Kemp's people has been entirely successful. The pahs on both sides will be immediately vacated, and the matters in dispute will be referred to a meeting of tribes to be held shortly at Puhiki, near to Wahganui, after which the question of tribal boundary is to be submitted to the New Zealand Land
Company for final settlement. Kenata's visit to Kemp's pah was quite unexpected. The old chief has been inland for many years, and his appearance caused a sensation, the whole of Kemp's people turning out of their pah and receiving him with a war dance, and other demonstrations of respect.
