MANIAPOTO TRIBE VIEWS.
EVIDENCE FOR COMMISSION. (From Our Own Correspondent.) TE KTJITT, Saturday. In response to the intimation given the Maniapoto tribe that the Native .Affah's Commission will not pit at Te Kuiti, a meeting of the tribe was summoned to consider what steps should bo ■taken. It was decided to telegraph the clerk to the effect that six parsons would go to Rotorua to, represent tribal matters under, certain conditions. Owing to tribal jealousy many of the Maniapotos refused to go to Rotorua, being .strongly of opinion that tho commission should have -honoured the King Country with a sitting, as the StoutNgata Commission had done in 1909. It was finally decided that Mr. G. Elliott should be sent to Rotorua to represent the Xgati-Maniapoto. Mr. Elliott, accompanied by Potiaka Wehi, a leader of the Ngati-Rerealm tribe, will leave for Rotorua on Monday and appear before the comirtission on Tuesday morning.
