" Honor to whom Honor is due ."
Sin,— All those acquainted with Native land transactions in this district during the last nine years, if not blind to the truth, must acknowledge- that Mr Rees was the principal factor in opening up for settlement Whataupoko, Kaiti, Pouawa, and other blocks, besides completing doubtful titles for several settlers. He has now added the coping-stone to a series of splendid performances, in final readjusting the conflicting claims to the Makauri block, which only the other day bid fair to rival the famous suit of Jardinc v. Jardine. If this be repudiation, then there is honor in the name. Moreover, Mr Rces, in the exercise of his profession, is surely entitled to do his utmost for his clients. With as much justice persons might apply the epithet to Mr H. D. Bell, of Wellington, who was plaintiff's barrister in the. case of Pavaono v. Matthews. --I am. £•-.. CAM'C.n.
