(PBOM OTTO SPECIAL GOBBESPONDENT.) _ Last night. The Court is still going slowly but surely along,- and the greatest good feeling exists among the natives. It will probably take three weeks or a Aonth to finiah the business on hand. • V ■ Mr Sheehan arrived at Kihikihi last night, and returned this morning to Ohaupc, with Rewi. Both left for Auckland. It will most oerfcWly be a great novelty for the Auckland people to see the old hero of Orakau m their midst. I expect he will get fearfully bored with interviewers before he gets away again. The meeting between himself and Sir Hercules Robiason cannot fail to be of an interesting nature,' and will be productive of a great deal of good. The question sometimes arises m the minds of many, how far Rewi's influence with his people will be^ affected by his mixing so much with the Europeans, just at this moment. I fancy, myself, it would have been, perhaps, better to have let the old gentleman carry out his mission among his own people for the present, although, of course, such a meeting as is about to take place m Auckland, is very tempting, and will tell well with the country. The weather is setting m for steady and heavy rain.
