Henare Herekau: I wish to speak to the Court respecting the Counsel. Ngati Raukawa, Ngati Toa and Ngati Awa have agreed to the Counsel appearing. I appear on behalf of these native tribes. I also apply on their behalf to have the Court adjourned until tomorrow. I see they are all assembled and it is that all the tribes may meet outside, and not come into the Court bearing malice to each other and that they may have nothing to say except what refers to the Court.


T Rauparaha: Asked that the papers relating to the lands between Rangitikei and Manawatu also Wellington may be laid before him. Wish to see the decision of the Court in these lands.


Hon Mr Parata: I understand an application has been made for an adjournment that the natives may talk amongst themselves. I think the adjournment should be granted.


Hoani Meihana: Appeared and stated that he agreed to the adjournment.
