Kawhia Hauhaus continually here with pigs for sale in large quantities. Hone Te One and Hone Wetere both tell me that notices have been received by the Kawhia Hauhaus proclaiming that Potatau's kai whakahaeres (managers), the old men, are to be removed, as they have caused murders. These are to be replaced by King Tawhiao's lambs, whose work is to be planting food. Kuiti people blame Maneha and Kawhia Hauhaus for tho attack on Mr. Mackay, in consequence of their having occupied the same whare with Euru. Maneha belongs to tho Ngatimahuta Tribe. I have, &c, E. S. Bush, The Hon. the Native Minister, Wellington. Clerk to the Bench. By Authority: Geobqb Didsbfbt, Government Printer, Wellington.—lB73. [Price I*.]
