After breakfasting with the Opunake Natives they came along to wards the Waiau bridge, where the party of Armed Constabulary was stationed. A bar was placed across the bridge, seeing • which from the hill the Natives turned back. Titokowaru was at the head and Hone Pihama was also present. Colonel Roberts, accompanied by Captains Morri son and Messenger, was on the one side of the bridge, where the Natives drew up, but none came forward to make any request.

The natives de mand the right to come and go when they 1 like.
