Kewi, whoso name has been affixed, was a very bad mark to choose. He was, and has been, residing at Kawhia, and has never left it for some months back. Tne letter was undoubtedly written at the instigation of an Alexandra resident, in his back parlor, and, by him, was conveyed to Auckland. I have not .yet seen Whitiora Komete), but, I would bet a new hat, if he did sign the document at all, he was ignorant of , its contents.
