HAWERA.
This day.
The Royal Commissioner, .Sir W. Fox, had a long interview with the natives at Opunake on Thursday and Friday, when several influential chiefs were; present. Sir W. Fox told the natives he would be prepared to mark the boundaries and issue the Crown grants whenever desired. Several natives expressed a wish that the surveyors should be sent on at once/. Wiremu Hingi asked that nothing be done until the young men now in prison had returned. The natives were anxious to know what was going to be done with the Parihaka block, when Mr Foz said the Commission could do nothing, as Te Whiti had refused to allow his people to
come near the Commission when at Oeo last year. The natives are said to have met the Commissioner in a very frieudlymanner.
