RE WI AND THE NORTH ISLAND TRUNK RAILWAY. [BY TELEGRAPH.- PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Saturday. Rewi ha« addressed the following letter to the Hon. Mr Ballance, Native Minister :—: — " I have received your letter on the 21st November, fiom Mr Rochforfc. This is my reply to it. Yes, we will assist Mr Rochfort and others engaged with him upon the survey of tho railway line, and reinovo any difficulties that may arise, but there will be no obstruction to the construction of the railway, which ha*> been agreed to by the people. But, friends, there is one question which we consider of great importance, and which we are apprehensive about, and that is, legislation affecting us. I request that you will visit us, and let us know your intentions. Do not withhold any of them, as your predecessors did, who came to us and told us some of their proposal*, while they withheld others. Let us be satisfied before laws are made affecting us. Ended, — From your friend, Rkwi Maniapoto."
