LOCKE-RUSSELL CORRESPONDENCE.
We publish for the information of our readers
copies of the correspondence referred to in the attack
made by the honorable member for Clive ou the honor-
able member for the Thames in the House of
Representatives. It will be seen by perusal that there
was not the slightest truth in the imputations cast by
Mr. Ormond on Sir George Grey, that in point of fact
the correspondence most thoroughly exonerates Sir
George from having had any personal interest in the
Taupo land transactions, although Mr. Ormond made
• distinct accusation to that effect, his only authority
for to doing being the subjoined letters :—

Your terms for the negotiation are to be as you 1
state—£300 if the blocks are got, and two guineas
per day and extra expenses if unsuccessful; and T am
relying on your experience and influence to carry us
through successfully.
The fixing of the rents will be the principal thing
after yon get the promise of the country. We must
not pay too high, as there is no doubt, from Hector's
report, that th» climate over a large area of the coun-
try, about the Rangipo and Patea is severe for a long
period each season. Please pay particular notice to
what he says on the subject. It won't do to pay too
high rents at first, like Cox, unless we get correspond-
ing advantages. I had a few lines from Cox last
steamer, and I shall hear from him again by the mail
steamer, now arrived, I suppose. I hope he will
tetahi on the loth January.
You should read the enclosed extracts from Hector's
journal very carefully along with his sketches; and
will please keep these entirely to yourself and for the
. use of our party, as Hector does not wish his remarks
to become public. It has cost me a good deal of
valuable time to-day to copy it, so I hope you will
study it carefully.
Write me as soon as you have anything to say, and
let me know your probable movements.
Yours truly,
8. Locke, Esq., Napier. H. B. RUSSELL.
Enclosure 7 in Ko. 1.
The Hon. H. R. RUSSELL to Mr. S. LOCKE.
Mount Herbert, 30th December, 1867.
MY DEAR LOCKE,—I have seen Colonel Whitmore, |
and had a long talk with him over our Taupo affairs.
and am more than ever-satisfied that it is necessary
for you to go on to Patea and Taupo without a day's
unnecessary delay, otherwise our interests are sure to
suffer, and the end will be that our great scheme will
dwindle down into something that won't be worth
taking up. With active parties teasing and tempting
the Natives on the spot, our waiting policy is sure to
end in failure. From Hector's sketch I can't see
where parties can. get runs without encroaching
on our Mock of 250,000 to 300,000, in the
Patea, and I imagine that both McLean and the
Birches are contesting the country with us. You can
only find this out on the spot, and I earnestly hope
that you will be able to go up at once, and to devote
the necessary time to make arrangements that will
be considered binding by the Native owners.
I have arranged with Whitmore to start about the
10th of January, but you would require to be there
some time previously to see the Native owners and to
go carefully over the blocks so that when we arrive
there may be no difficulty about the terms, after we
have also gone over the country.
Let me know by return of bearer when you can go,
and if you want any farther instructions. I am now
very anxious on the subject, as absent partners will
be likely to attribute blame to me and Whitmore.
Did I send you Hector's, sketches and Patea memo-
randum ? If not, I have mislaid them, and can't find
them to make a copy for you. It will be a great pity
if they are lost, but you must just do the best you
can without them, and Whitmore can give TOU a
very good sketch of the country.
Yours in haste,
H. R. RUSSELL.
S. Locke. Esq., Napier.

The Hon. H. R. RUSSELL to Mr. S. LOCKE.
Mount Herbert, 15th. January, 1863.
MY DEAR SIR,—I am alarmed to hear that Birch
and Johnston arc making preparations to take posses-
sion of the Patea, west of the Rangitikei, which is
what Hector described as the cream of the whole
country, and which we ought to Lave had. I am also
disappointed to hear that you have not been to the
interior yet. The distance is not much, and your per-
sonal presence and influence would have done much to
counteract the workings of our rivals.
I have a messenger at Wanganui now to know
what Buller has done, and if he is prepared to go
back and meet Cox and me in the end of the mouth.
1 hear Hamlin has gone up a second time, but it is
not like your going yourself. I am now very much
afraid we shall be beaten, or at events deprived, of
a good portion of our intended runs. 1 have been all
along relying on your activity and influence, which
induced me to recommend you to our party in the
first instance as a negotiator. I now wish, that I had
gone up with you myself, and kept you to the mark
till the thing was secured. Cox's visit was a mere
farce.
1 I hope your assurance iu the letter of the 6th, and
on previous occasions, will turn out correct, but I am
very desponding
Yours in haste,
H. R. RUSSELL.

MY DEAR LOCKE,—Mr. Davis tells me you start on
Tuesday for Taupo. I have not a syllable from any
one to say what you Lave been able to do. but 1 hope
our prospects now look somewhat brighter. Cox has
gone on to his own place, and Whitmore writes me he
will wait for me till Tuesday morning
Yours in haste.

include the Kariti (Murimotu) Plains, having the
Taupo Lake to the north; the Pihanga Mountains,
Rotoaira Lake, Tongariro and Ruapehu Mountains,
and the forest on the west;—forest to the south, and
the boundary to the east, to be taken so as to include
all the intervening plains, taking as good a boundary
as could possibly be got. I bring this forward for
the purpose of stating that I did not understand when
I undertook the negotiating of these leases lands that
the Patea proper was included ; on the contrary, the
portion most pressed on my notice at the time was the
land about Rotaira and the spurs of Tongariro. I
was aware at that time that other parties were in
treaty for what is known as Patea proper and Opaoko
although I was quite ignorant of the Messrs. Birch's
intention of obtaining land in that district. There
has always been some confusion about this matter,
greatly owing, I believe, to not knowing the country.
I remember speaking to Mr. Cox, and I think, to
other;, on the subject more than once. After the
full and explicit description given by Dr. Hector of
the country, I cannot pretend to enlarge upon his
report, excepting to say that I think he has some-
what over estimated the extent, but, as he had instru-
ments, &c , with him, he would be able to ascertain
a very near approximate of the contents ; and, as
far as the capabilities of the district as a sheep
country, and whether sheep will thrive there in the
winter, can be ascertained by the inspection of the.
Messrs. Birch's flock in the spring.
I first entered into communication with the owners
of the country for the purpose of leasing it, when.
1 went to Rotoaira, iu the month of November, 1867,
with, Mr. Cox and colonel Whitmore, carrying letters
of introduction from His Excellency Sir George
Grey. The principal owners were then at the West
i Coast, and not likely to return for some time—the
Natives at the Rotoaira Pa said not until after Christ-
mas. The purpose for which I had come was
thoroughly explained to the people present, who
stated that at a meeting to be held on the West Coast
the arrangements respecting the division, &c., of the
lands in the neighbourhood of Tongariro were to be
settled, and that after that they would be willing to
lease : further, that they did not expect their chiefs
back until after Christmas, but that as soon as they re-
turned they promised that I should be informed, which.
promise I subsequently found they would have kept
had I not been back in the district before they had
all returned. Ihakara arrived from the West Coast
oa the same day that I arrived at his pa. (I wish
here to state that Mr. Birch passed Rotoaira a few days
previous to my arrival there, and on his way to Napier
leased a run at Patea from some of the Natives there,
which was out of the district for which I then under-
stood I was to treat for.) It was not until my return
to Napier that I ascertained that the Messrs; Birch
had obtained a run in the Patea country. During
the month, of December I received letters from Mr.
! Russell and Colonel Whitmore, requesting me to go
i to Rotoaira for the purpose of carrying on the nego-
tiations. I replied that I knew that the proper parties
I to deal with had not arrived, on which Colonel Whit-
more desired me to engage Mr. Hamlin at once, and
follow after myself. I therefore asked Mr. Hamlin to
|

go and see the Natives, and endeavour to collect them,
to commence the preliminary arrangements. &c. Mr.
Hamlin accordingly started on the 4th of January,
and I followed on the 13th of same month. On my
arrival at Pakihiwi, Ihakara's Pa, I met Ihakara, just
arrived that day from the West Coast. Ihakara was
very indignant that any land had been leased during
his absence. I here ascertained that Mr. Hamlin had
seen all the Natives of that neighbourhood, and had
done all te could to forward the object for which, he
came, and had gone on to Kotoa ira, for which place 1
at once started. I met Mr. Hamlin near Rotoaira,
who informed me that Heteraka and the other owners,
at their own request, would come to lhakara's pa to
meet us. I therefore turned back to wait at lhakara's
pa. We waited there to 23rd of January, and as no
Natives of note, excepting Karaitiana, appeared, and
as it seemed they were not prepared to go fully into
the subject, we arranged that they should inform me
when they were prepared to conclude the matter, and
then I would return. Shortly after that I was,
through, ill health, unable further to hold communica-
tion with, them, and, being now ignorant of the inten-
tions of the company, I have not of late attempted to
re-open the subject, although I should imagine there is
every chance of success this summer of obtaining the
country at a low rate. Should such be the intention
of the company, I would suggest that they employ Mr.
Hamlin, as I fear I am unable at present to undertake
the matter so as to pay that attention I should wish,
although I will with the greatest pleasure render
every service I can free of charge.

STATEMENT BY THE HON. H. R. RUSSELL, READ IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY MR. STOUT.
About ten years ago, during the session of 1867.
Mr. Cox. Mr. (now Dr.) Buller, Colonel Whitmore,
myself, and Mr. Thomas Russell, acting for himself
and some friends, agreed to join together to ascertain
if a large tract of country in the centre of the North
Island, near inland Patea and Ruapehu, could be
taken up as stations for sheep, if found suitable, and
if leases for twenty-one years could be obtained after
passing the land through the Court.
A partnership was, I understood, first suggested by
Mr. (now Dr.) Buller, who professed to know the
country, and to have had an offer of a considerable
portion of it from the Native owners, but who had
not capital enough to undertake so large a concern on
his own account.
• Before I came down to attend the session of Parlia-
ment, early in August, Colonel Whitmore had written
to mo on the subject and asked me to join in the
undertaking.
After I arrived in Wellington (about the middle of
August) the subject was discussed by myself and the
parties above named on several occasions. Talking
oue day to Mr. Cox about the matter, I said to him,
"I am on very friendly terms with Sir George Grey :
you also know him; he can very likely give us some
information, as I suppose it forms part of the country
that he spoke of in the South a few months since.
Let us go and see him." Thereupon we went to see
Sir George Grey at Government House. I asked him
if he could give us any information about the country
between Patea, Ruapehu, and towards Taupo Lake.
Sir George said that he thought there was a large
extent of country well adapted for sheep farming, and
that he had passed through it last year. Ho remarked
that the Natives had been very solicitous for him to
take up the country about Rotoaira and the Rangipo
Valley as a sheep-ran. He further said that he had
formed a plan in his own mind to get stations formed
in that inland district by Europeans who would pay
rent to the Natives : and also to make a settlement at
or near Taupo, so as to colonise the interior, and thus
assist in doing away with the Native difficulty. We
continued talking, and I told him that a number of us
together were thinking of taking up a run of consider-
able size towards Patea, including the Murimotu and
Wangaehu Downs. Sir George did not ask us who
the other persons were, nor did we toll him. I said
to him that, so far as our information went, our plans
did not include the lower portion of the Rangipo
Valley nor the Rotoaria.

to meet the persons with whom I was negotiating in
respect to this very block of land. There was a very long
interview. I could see there was something on the mind
of the person to whom I was talking—it appeared to be a
question as to who would speak first; after some coughing
and hesitation, at last the proposal was made to me that,
if I would take £10,000 for the Natives and £2000 for
myself, the thing would be settled. Well, if I were a
a plunderer and a robber, as the honorable gentleman
tried to make me out to-night—" the low-class practitioner
and Pakeha-Maori lawyer" of whom he has spoken this
evening—I would have done, of course, exactly what, if
he bad been brought op in the same profession, possibly
he might have been content to do, and have taken the
£2000 ; and I should have done a very nice thing indeed.
Now, what did I do ? I refused the amount absolutely.
I refused £15,000 for the Natives, and ultimately made
the purchasers pay £17,500 with about £12,000 worth of
land, for what originally only cost £2,500. And I charged
them—how much ? Being a " low-class practitioner and
a Pakeha-Maori lawyer" I charged them £250. I doubt
very much if the honorable gentleman renders his ser-
vices at that figure : I do not think he can say he does.
All I can say is that, if he has no more to answer for in
regard to his business transactions than I have in mine,
he stands very well indeed. As I have said already, I
would not have spoken if I had not been so grossly
attacked. Although I was not mentioned by name, or
deferred to ae to my speeches in this House, yet I think
honorable members on all sides will admit that I was the
person mainly pointed out in the course of the honorable
gentleman's remarks. If you tread upon a worm it will
turn. I do not happen to be exactly a worm, and I
inherit from my Celtic ancestors a disposition, if I get a
blow, to give one back ; and if I am struck a coward's
How, if I am stabbed from behind, as was done to-day, I
take my assailant by the scruff of the neck. The honor-
able gentleman dares to apply to mo the language he used
to-day ! The Superintendent of Hawke's Bay for many
years, the member of the Provincial Council, the Justice
of the Peace, the member of this House, and the Govern-
ment Agent—the man who ought to have acquired these
lands for the public, and for the public estate—what has
he done ? Talk about prostituting one's position! Talk
about Sir George Grey employing his influence as
Governor to get a block of land ! Why, Sir, I would hesi-
tate to own a single acre of the honorable gentleman's land
upon the same tenure. I remember reading in some old
English history of a King who called upon all his barons
and owners of land throughout the country to produce
their titles, and he appointed a Commission for that pur-
pose. The Commission went about the country, and they
arrived at the Castle of Earl de Warenne, and they asked
that old gentleman, who was a very unamiable-
looking Norman nobleman, to produce his title deeds.
He very politely requested them to take a seat, went
out, and brought in a huge two-edged sword, and
said that was his title. There was something manly
about that. I can well understand land won by fight
and conquest; but land acquired by fraud, by false-
hood, by deceit, and by artifices of the basest description
will never grow good crops to the owner. I seek no in-
quiry in this House. I am not the challenging party.
But if any statement made by the honorable gentleman
has for a moment weighed in the minds of honorable
members to the extent of believing that there is a scintil-
lation of truth in it, I challenge him to appoint his Com-
mittee and subject me to examination, in order to estab-
lish his statements. He will not do it. He knows too
much tor that. He is perfectly aware that he cannot
prove his statements; and, after the experience of the
* Waka Maori " case, I do not think he is likely to seek
the opinion once moro of a few impartial men. I have
spokon to-night at undue length, but at the same time I
think I was called upon to do so on account of the man-
ner in which I have been attacked. I have not, this
session, spoken a single word in regard to these transac-
tions, and I think I am bound to defend myself after hav-
ing been attacked in so unwarrantable a manner. As I
have already said to-night, when the question of the
Hawke's Bay Commission was before the House in 1872.
it was the honorable gentleman's party who prevented
that Act from giving such judicial powers to the Commis-
sioners as would have enabled them to settle each case on
its merits as it arose. The argument made use of then
waa that, as a matter of public policy, it might be desi-
rable to inquire into these things as a whole, and for the
purpose of getting information in regard to the working
of the Native Lands Act, but, in regard to the particular
details of Native claims, the ordinary Courts of law were
open to the Maoris as well as to Europeans, and that they
ought to go there. Well, the Maoris went there, and
went there so successfully that in a very short time that
honorable gentleman caused negotiations to be again
opened for the purpose of getting a Commission possess-
ing judicial powers. I refused those negotiations, and I
hope the House will decline to interfere with these
matters, which are now before the Courts ; and that it
will not pass an Act depriving these Courts of jurisdiction
and sending those cases to be tried by what the honorable
gentleman called a Court of good conscience and equity,
which would make those titles good and throw out the
claims of the Natives for ever. I do not profess to say
that a great deal that has taken place to-day has been
creditable to the House. I think the time will come when
all of us who have taken part in it will regret it. But in
justification of my own part in it I can say this: that I
should be unworthy of associating with any honorable
gentleman in this chamber if I had chosen to allow these
statements to pass by unchallenged. I have not travelled
beyond the record. I might have gone, as the honorable
gentleman has gone, into other matters ; but I have kept
myself strictly to the attacks made upon me and I have
endeavored to show that, while I have done my duty to
the Native people faithfully, honestly, and fearlessly, I
have had good cause to go against the honorable gentle-
man and his friends as I have done. The time will come
when these things will be made manifest; they are being
made manifest now. The House must understand the
full meaning and signification of what has taken place to-
day in the Supreme Court. That battle which has been
fought was the Armageddon of the party of the honorable
gentleman. The honorable gentleman contrived, in the
course of his speech, and for the purpose, I suppose, of
gaining sympathy, to very often refer to the name of a
gentleman who was once an honorable member of this
House, and who is now no more, and whom I followed to
his grave with the honorable gentleman—I believe a more
earnest and honest mourner than he was. He kept re-
ferring to that name for the purpose of procuring sympa-
thy for himself. Whether or not that gentleman had done
rightly or wrongly, I would say that, even so far as his
actions bore the aspect of being wrong, it was because he
followed too faithfully the selfish and unprincipled coun-
sels of the present Minister for Public Works. I repeat
that those thing* will come out. The honorable member,
having been able to pledge the House and the taxpayers
of the country to defending a gross libel on another mem-
ber of the Legislature, and having failed signally in that
attempt—which attempt, I repeat, waa made simply for
the purpose of serving his own interest, and for the pur-
pose of crushing the cause of opposition to his own titles,
and which, if he had succeeded, might have enabled him
to place his heel upon all the Native people in Hawke's
Bay—that attempt having failed, he will now find that
the day is not far distant when the merits of his own case
will be settled. He need not be at all afraid. The Courts
of the colony will be appealed to, and whether or not I am
