The Evening Post, of Wellington, says:—" A marriage of a rather interesting character was celebrated in St. Peter's Church this morning (10th March) by the Ven. Archdeacon Stock. The bride was a niece of the Hon. Wi Tako, a half-caste, of the name of Ani Tiria, and the bridegroom, Mr. Bishop, the manager of the Native hostelry. Ani was well known as Dr. Peatherston's favourite interpreter in all his dealings with the natives at Otaki and Waikanae. The wedding breakfast was given in splendid style by Wi Tako, who was the only Native present. The health of the bride and bridegroom was duly honoured by the guests, and there are many in the province who will join in wishing them well, Ani being well known- and deservedly esteemed by a large number of settlers."
