Waiuku, 18 October, 1860. Sir : I see by the proceeding of our Parliament, that Mr. F.D. Fenton, ex Magistrate in the Waikato Dist. has by some means or other interested certain Members of the Genl. Assembly to cause Enquiry into the cause of his removal from that District, and that a statement has or will be brought forward ''that Mr. Fenton's removal was regarded as a great loss by both races, and that equal satisfaction was felt both by Europeans and Maories with his administration of justice. It must grieve a honest mind to perceive the underhand machinations by means of which this Enquiry has been come to - years have been allowed to pass away obliterating, and difficulties (in the shape of war and rumors of war, have been taken advantage of) which are making it all but impossible to collect, now, the proves of the gross mismanagement of Fenton's administration in the Waikato. May I ask why Fenton or his Exc. did not demand for an Enquiry when years ago the only paper independent of Govt. of Fenton's private influence ''the Examiner'' made it public how Fenton at the meeting of Paetae in 1857 sowed the seeds of that crime which had develloped itself to such gi gantic dimensions, as to make the Waikato natives tho'roly dishonest as a body - repudiating by unanimous consent in their Runangas to pay their debts to Govt. or private individuals of the ''white skin''? If there had been the slightest inveracity in the charge brought publicly against Fenton, why was there nobody in the inland to take it up? to prove it calumnious? that Armitage made a pitiful trial
