Clarke's information about Tahau came from a native of Katikati & a half caste. Tahau told me that he had heard of two similar persons having proposed to arrest him and sent them timely warning. He has made communications with Taipari - Nikereuki and other leading chiefs as to his remaining in the Hauraki Dist., and with reference to the mail question expresses his intention of taking our part in it. Shall hear more probably tomorrow.
