ACTS AND DECISIONS OF THE GOVERNORS OF N. ZEALAND. :- have no new proposal to make, either as regards selling or anything else. All I have to say to you, O Governor, is that none of this land will be given to you, never, never, not till I die. I have heard it said that I am to be imprisoned because of this land. I am very sad because of this word. Why is it? You should remember that the Maoris and Pakehas are living quietly upon their pieces of land, and therefore do not you disturb them. Do not say also that there is no one so bad as myself. This is another word to you, 0 Governor. The land will never, never be given to you, not till, death. Do not be anxious for men's thoughts, This is all I have to say to you. From your loving friend, Wiremu Kivgi Whiti. To His Excellency the Governor. [In Sess. Pap. Gen. Assembly, 1860.]
