No. 2. MEMORANDUM BY ME. FUIIOOJT. Shortly after the cessation of hostilities at Taranaki, in 1861, the Waikatos organised a plan of operations, in the event of a misunderstanding arising with the Government, as they fully believed at the time that the Government was going to press them for the part that they had taken in the Taranaki war, and also against the King movement. This opinion was shortly after confirmed when His Excellency Colonel Gore Browne issued his Manifesto, May 21st, 1861, by which they understood that negotiations would cease on the 31st August, and that war would be declared, and "Waikato invaded, on the Ist September, 1861. The plan of operation was, as near as I can remember, for the whole of Waikato to come down in a body to Maramarua, and proceed up that river to a place called Paparata, in the Tirikohua District, making that place their head-quarters. From thence parties were to proceed and occupy the following positions, viz.: —Maketu (situated behind Drury, to the right of the coalmines, there is an old war track from Maketu to Paparata), the Eazorback, Pukewhau (overlooking Baird's farm), and Tuhimata. The Bazorback and Pukewhau have direct and partly independent tracks to the Maketu and Paparata warpaths. The parties at the Eazorback and Pukewhau were to destroy the bridges on the Great South Road, and those at Tuhimata were to observe and oppose any military movement that might be made against them. The party at Maketu (which was to be a strong one) were to maraud the Drury and Papakura districts.
