to-day employed in staking out a line of demarcation between ourselves and the Europeans; inland of this line, including all the timber, is to be left for the natives. That is tabooed for us. The lands that the Europeans are cultivating is all that they are to have." D. McLean, (addressing E Waka,)- "I hope you remember your promises of friendship towards the Europeans, when you addressed the Governor at Ruatoki. I am afraid the Europeans will not remain, if they are not allowed more land than what they are now cultivating. I have often told you it would be much to your own interests to let the Europeans live among you in peace and quietness,- that it is almost annoying to make a repetition of the same." E Waka,- "We wish our Pas to revert to us, from your house where you now live, to the town; and a great part of the town belongs to absentees. This is all I have to say. I will write you the names of the lands I own, and send you a letter." Eruera,- "My words, and those of all the natives, are that we give no more land at present; till our claims are divided; when individuals may part with their several portions."
