Napier, 5th May, 1865. My dear Weld, I have had a Meeting today with Hapuku Tarika and several other Chiefs I expressed the strongest disapproval of Hapuku's recognition of the Hauhau and asked the Chiefs to order such dangerous fanatics out of the Province. Several of them agreed to do so if certain disputes between teHapuku and Tarika on one side and Karaitiana and Renata on the other side were adjusted. I proposed as a means of adjusting those disputes to have them referred to impartial Chiefs from other districts. I propose to have another Meeting tomorrow and again on Monday. I have got my hands quite full but I believe my efforts up to the present have been upon the whole successful.
