Natives are not yet sufficiently well disposed for their reception. Some of the peculiar difficulties with which the New Plymouth settlement is surrounded, by the constant return from different parts of the colony of the original Native inhabitants would be in some measure removed by employing parties of such Natives under the directions of the Govt. in road making. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your Excellencys most obt. humble servt., Donald McLean, Inspector of Police. His Excellency, George Grey, K.C.B., Governor in Chief. Poneke, Tihema 22nd, 1848.

Kahore hoki a te kawana kupu heoi ano taua i me mai kia noho tahi koutou ko au tangata i runga i nga mahana me mia i nga wakaaro o te atawhai o tetahi ki tetahi.
