No. 41. E hoa e Hone Waeihana, — Tenei taku ki a koe, ko koe hei tiaki i taku tainaiti i runga i te Ture Kawanatanga. Ko te Ingoa ko Eruera Te Awabaku i tae au ki te Kooti i te tunga o te Kooti ki Turanga kaore i mana mai. E te Makarini mau e whakaae mai kia tu te take mo te moni o Motu, ma korua ko Hone Wirihana e whakaae mai i runga i te ture o te Kawanatanga. Hemi te Awahaku. [Tbanslation.] 0 Fbiend, Me. J. A. "Wilson,- — This is my word to you. I wish to be appointed the lawful guardian of my child in accordance with the Native Lands Act. The name (of the child) is Eruera te Awahaku. I made an application to the Court when it was sitting at Turanga, but the Court did not honor my application. O, Mr. McLean, do you consent that the Court shall act, because the purchase money for Motu, which land has been bought by Mr. J. A. Wilson, is only payable in accordance with the law. Hemi te Awahaku. On receipt of this letter I went to Judge Eogan and showed it to him, and represented to him the Native's case —how, after obtaining information from the Clerk of the Court, he had appeared in Court, &c. I also urged the hardship to the Grovernment in this and other cases where money has been paid on claims of succession, or where money has to be paid to complete interests, some of them being of considerable magnitude. Mr. Bogan said that it was no use my sending this letter to Sir Donald McLean, as he would only return it to him (Mr. Eogan) ; that the case would be attended to when next he had an opportunity. J. A. Wilson. * This case was heard on 3rd instant, without notice. t Change in date in papers.
