His people, the Ngatihorua, hud btayed in Cambridge, hoping to arrive at a settlements He asked tlmt the business .should at once proceed. Te Wheoro said so far as those he represented were concerned, they were perfectly willing that the court should either adjourn or proceed. If the court signified what it intended doing the people might come to some arrangement among themselves. The court should not listen to everybody's views, particularly those who had no interest in the business. Hia Honour said that the Taupo Court could not interfere with this court. He could not see why the people interested in the Cambridge Court should want to go to Taupo. If they desired an adjournment they would have to apply to the Chief Judge. The case was then called, and after a few words between his Honour and Major Te Wheoro the evidence was proceeded with.
