Enclosure 3 in No. 4. Judge Bogan to Captain Pobtee. Re Waingaromia, Second Sitting. (Telegram.) Wairoa, Ist March, 1876. Tins Court will be brought to a close to-day. Eeceived a message from Hone Kewa, saying his father is getting feeble ; is anxious to have Court for Waingaromia lands opened soon. See Hone, and say if Tolago Bay people are willing. I will go on with the Court at Makaraka after rehearing cases are over, and will continue until it is time to attend Waiapu Court. It is possible I may go to Mohaka to-morrow. Let me know if a satisfactory arrangement can be made about this matter of Pita Te Huhu. J. Eogan, Captain Porter, Grisborne. Judge, Native Land Court.

Enclosure 4 in No. 4. Captain Pobtee to Judge Eo&an. Be Waingaromia, Second Sitting. (Telegram.) Gisborne, Ist March, 1876. Be Waingaromia, 1 beg to make following suggestions:—That Waingaromia and Tolago Bay cases should be heard by you at Tolago Bay, in March, or on any date you may determine, so as to get over all these difficulties before proceeding to Waiapu Court in April, as it is probable the latter will run into winter weather.
