New Plymouth 23rd. June 1851 Dear Sir, The natives who arrived here the other day from the Chathams, via Wellington, by ship, and then via coast in boat and canoe, are still here, and will soon move Northward. There appears little doubt but that Rawiri was the native who entered Beatham's house, but nothing being missed, the rascal got clear. Judging from the description of articles stolen from Adams's, I am disposed to think some European is the culprit. The owner must have had singular confidence in the honesty of mankind, to leave his house and property exposed for days, and, I am told, even weeks; while he himself rusticated in the bush with back settlers. In mentioning Heale's attention to his night duty after being in liquor, I merely wish to shew the striking difference in men, and have no desire to shelter misconduct of the worst description, in men holding similar situations. Horn is the representative of Taranaki, by this time. Methinks the solitude of Tatara will he more charming to him, than the stiffness of legislating for the tikomahare. Any news in the South? and when may we expect you amongst us once more? Hoping you are well, and continue successful in your extensive dealings with Southern tribes, I remain faithfully yours (Signed) H. Halse. To:- D. McLean Esq.
