THE OPENING OF THE KING COUNTRY.

Native Meeting atlotoro. A CORRESPOND. NT sends us an account of the native meeting hold by the Kingite native? on Sunday, March 4th, and subse qnent days, at Tott ro : — Tho village of Totoro might be des cribed as a lovely spot, situated on the banks oi the Mokau, near the old mission station, about Co miUsfrom the Sea bj the tivcr, but not so far by land. The land from Totoro to the sea is valueless, foi pastoral purpose, being bioken laioeral country. I'- contains valuable timbers, coal, iton, and limeston", all await iog capital to develop, and return hand* some dividends. The minerals and timber are uli on the river bant, and ma. bo reached by vessels of lrom 14 to 16 feel di aught. From and around Toturo to thf eastward, towards Tubus, is a considerabli quantiiy of laud fi'.ted for agriculture ; an: | northward, towards Alexatdia and Tt | Awamutu, tbe land is all that can b< desired for pastoral purposes—heavy ciaj soil, with abundance of limestone at con veuient intervale, and the route for roat and railway might be said to be as level a I could pos?iby be d-.-i.iiei; that is to say ihere ac no ueep cutlii g*, nor ravines, no] engineeiiug, or expensive difficulties ti contend wi h, while ihere is ample ttmbe a d lio.c-.tonc for tho culverts au< permanent way, Totoro may bo said to bt half-way between Te Awamutu ant Waitara. The route for tbo railway fron Totoro to Waitara has yet to be examine< und decided upon, but n is known to he o no difficult character, while there is plent; of cons.iuctinH material all the way. Thi head chiefs of i otoro are Itangi I'uataki (Weterca elder brother) and Haramea T* Aria, boih very quiet and influential men Haramea is a very hard-working man, am keeps the whole kianga supplied with foo< all the year round. Roth these chiefs bavi beeu for years friendly disposed towards thi pakeha, and no troubles need be feared ii opening the country around, Totoro, witl its known minerals and timber on the om side, and its magmiicient pas.o.al countr; ou the other, will some day be a place o importauco, more especially should the re potted discoveries of gold in Tuhua prove b be correct. The meetiog was generally understood: by the natives to havo been called b; Welere Te Eorenga at the request, or per haps tho suggestion, of the Hon John Bryce with the view of getti-g hoid of Wah»nui and bringing him to the ministerial fold Viuhanui was not present, but sent hii brother to represent him, Unr corre.pon dent lends a report of tbe speeches*, bu they are of the usual character of uativi orations, and not worth publishing. 'Ihi Mokau natives complaiu that they havt many obsiacle* to op ning tbe country, ant many *jri»vanees brougnt on them by thi Government; that tuey have no one ti repieseut them to ob niu lodress, and if thi official documents produced at the meeting are to be r<lied upon, it would certainl* appear that higher powers than the native have been keeping the country closed fo ytars pas'. It wan stated that alter 11 Rereng/s trouble in obtaining the sittin* of a Land Cour< at Waitara, and establish iug hu claim* to tho land, that Mr Bryce without consulting the native-*, and quit unawares to thun, scot a native agent n tbe Court and applied for an oider that thi lands should Joot be dealt with, except b; the consent of the Governor in Council Tho judges, however, refused this. Te Kerenga, in his speeches, stated tha ho had asked tho Government for road through his country; and your cone* pondeut was allowed to see tbe copieß o several letters written to the Governmen by Wetero uptii thin subject, a telegr*n from iir si. Grey, whon Premier, was pro duccd, promising Wsterc that the r«a( should bo iiudu from Taranaki to Mokai at once, but tho Gr*y Government wem out, and nothing more was done. The pre* scut Ministry never sent Wet*re anj replies to his applications for rood. Had the road been made (or railway either) from Waitara to Totoro, as r-queated so often by Wetere, and which is by far the worit hdf of the. distance from Waitara to Te Awamutu, »ho ether half would bo of no trouble, because-it v open level country, aud doubtless the ..atires would have been clamouring for the completion. It is ts grand country for stock from Tetaro to Te Awamutu, bat from here .0 Waita>a it is ol no value except for minerals and timber, Another grievance is the alloged interfer ence ot Mr Bryce wilh the order of the judges respecting surveys. It appears that tho judges at Waitara sent for the Chiel Surveyor of Taranaki to attend the Court, aud in r«ply he stated that there were nc departmental objections to the survey oi the Mokau lands being proceeded with al once, and the judges made the order for the survey to proceed accordingly, and a stall of surveyor* was engaged lor the work. But Mr Bryce stopped them, alleging as a reason that the Surveyor-General conld not sanction the snivey until the whole ot the King Conntry had been trigged. But against thi», a letter was produced at the meeting from Mr Mc- Kerrow, stating that the matter rested with Mr Bryce j and so the mattei stands—Bryce versus McKerrow, and Mc- Kerrow versus Bryce. This delay has had the effect of stopping operations at Mokau for the last six months, when a company with Australian money was preparing to commence operations on a largo scale. The reported re-hearing of the Pantaura Block, too, appears to be a great grievance, " This black, which includes the celebrated White Cliffs, wa* contested at Waitara by the Maniapotos and a section of tho Ngatetamas After a very patient hearing, during which Rewi Maniapoto was sent for, the judges, without hesita tion, awatded the block to the Maniapotos, Two applications wero afterwards made to Chief Judge Fen ton for a re-hearin*?, and both were refused; but lately, however, some fresh influence has been brought to bear in official quarters, and a re-beating has be?n ordered. The meeting continued till the Bth. The weight of debating* power was about the same on both side*-, with the exception of the Hauhau bee-tappers of Tuhna and Mokau iti, and they stood aloue ; they hated the pakeha, and would consent to nothing beiog done. These are the men from the country where Moffatt was shot a few years ago. The meeting broke up without any thing definite beiDg arrived at as regards the road from Totoro to Te Awsmntn. Tha opposition natives axe leaving for Te Kuiti,

where it is expected Wahannl will attend A determination seems to prevail to do

nothing without Wnhanni,

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. -Thursday.

(Before H. G. Seth Smith. Esq. R.M.) DEFENDED CASES.

11. G. Christian v. Dunniugham and King.—Claim, £2 10% wages.—The plain tiff had been employed in tho kitchen of the Govornor Browuo Hotel, and he sought to recover for wages alleged to be due to him. The defendants had paid 7s 61 into Court, but they disputed the balance on the ground that as the plaintiff left without notice,they were entitled toldeduct a week's wages In lieu thereof. It came out in evi dence that first of all the plaintiff gave notice, and at its expiration he was asked to stay on, as no one had been got to fill his place. He consented, and remained for three weeks' longer, at the end of which period he abruptly left. - Judgment was given for ss.

Patrick Melbin v. J. Jfitzpatrick —Claim £3, damages by cattle trespass.—lhe plaintiff appeared to conduct his own case, and Mr J. A. Tole for the defendant.-The litigants are settleis at tbe North Shore. — Mr Tole took an objection to the plaintiff's bill of particular, on the ground that it did not give the nccessaty inf.irmation, and the caso was therefore adjourned till next week, in order that the particulars may be added to and amplified.
