Some time m Augusllast, when I was living at tub Thames, rbtnbms reached me that gold had been discovered sorrie 10 6t 12 miles .from Hiku taia, and having been interested in mining over since 1 landed in Auokland aoro©4 years agb I Was naturally anxious to pee the new find. I did ccc ib on or about the 24bh Auguat, and I formed a high opinion of what I saw. Upon the 29th August I went to Maritoto again for the express purpose of rimrkWrg out a piece of ground for myself arid friends, and! not knowing th» position of MpßrinnVpdfl:*, and hearing that he had marked out » very large area of ground, I asJt«4 him to point out his pegs tO; me at 10 o'clock on the moi'ninjj of the 30bh August at the junction ,of the Maritoto andTiokaraka creeks, about 2 mOes Irom his claim. Hearing thoo he bod refused to show his pejfs to obhersi I went with b written domand, iri compliance with Hecbion 103 of tbe Mining Act, 1886.
