perhaps the Governor should be made aware of it, as he complained on a previous occasion of not having been put on his guard of the Wi Katene scandal in the North - I have written a memo to Dr.Pollen reminding him that Karauama petitioned the Legislative Council on the same subject and on enquiry it was found that Karauama could not substantiate any of his statements and got a severe repremand from the Chairman of the Committee for his unfounded charges - Mr.Morehouse called upon me yesterday and told me that he had heard from his brother at Murimotu that matters were not looking well there - I directly telegraphed to Booth that it was a great pity he did not take more active steps to counteract any mischief that might be set on foot. It does not appear that he sent Wirihana and Buller to see what was going on although instructed to do so, and now they are detained Supreme Court business.
