been of a very different nature I
All the arms etc., surrendered amounting to
97 pieces were forwarded to Taipo yesterday. That number is made
up as follows:-
40 Spears,
23 Small Guns,
6 Large Guns,
28 Muskets.
97
It will not be possible to start the Executive Machinery of Government until I have visited all the
important parts of the territory in the same manner as these districts here. This will take some time. I am of course making en-
quiries at each place with a view to dividing the territory into
Districts and consulting the elders on certain points. I will
push on as quickly as I can, but there are many things to consider. I must, however, that we may have a somewhat easier time at other places than we have had here, and I have no doubt we shall, as the people are returning to their usual occupations.
The members of the Police living here are
fairly comfortably housed in the same house we have been occupying. They might continue on here, the owner of the house being paid a fair rent. He is quite willing to lend his house, but does not want rent. That is a matter that can be arranged
later
