two cases, such as Brown's, for a pig sold to him by the natives; and especially for work done by natives for him last harvest, 12/-; which cases are settled; and the natives advised how to act in future. Examined the Heads of the Turanga, and find a good entrance for crafts of 20 and 40 tons, or even 100, - if one or two rocks in the entrance were blasted. They are a soft, clayey substance, shelving off in long sheaths, East and West, and good marl, or soft clay substance, with blue soil, and rich loam on the tertiary formation. The hill above the harbour commands a good view of the surrounding country, - rivers, plains, forests, cultivations, peach, groves, wheat fields, etc. Called at Smith's, Harvey's, and Mr. Harris'; where I had a large Meeting of natives. Met a Mr. Purvis there. In the afternoon dined with Mrs. Grace; and attended Church in the afternoon. Drank tea at the Mission Station; and came to tent, where I had a Korero with the natives till 11 p.m. Called on the Catholic Priest, and had a conversation with Te Wata, the Chief who attends his service, and who, with Kautia, is favourable to the sale of land.
