DEATH OF TE NINIBI TE KAPU.
Te Ninihi Te Kat?ct, chief of the Whanaua' lauwhao tribe, died of consumption at Rangiwaia, on the 31st ult. The deceased was in the prime of life, and since the affair of the Gate Pa, has been a loyal friend to the Europoans. At the time of the disturbance between the Arawas and Ngaitirangi tribes, on the occasion of the Duke of Edinburgh's visit to Tauranga in 1870, Te Ninihi received severe injuries from which he never totally recovered. He was, without exception, the largest landowner in the district, a large portion of the island of Motiti being his property.
