Nelson,21st August,1844.

Witnesses examined:—Henry Daniel and Alexander MacShane (recalled), who produced a schedule showing the quantities of the goods given by Captain Wakefield to the Natives of the different districts. Schedule put in and verified by the production of the books of the New Zealand Company's storekeeper.

Te Iti, Native witness, then examined.

On the conclusion of the examination of this witness, Colonel Wakefield stated to the Court that in consequence of the prevarication exhibited in the evidence of the last witness, he had no intention of calling any further Native witnesses that day, and that he must ask the Court for a further adjournment.

Mr. Protector Clarke joined in the application to the Court for adjournment, stating that he was convinced the last witness had not spoken the truth, and that he feared if any more Native witnesses were examined that they would only give similar testimony; he requested, therefore, that he might be allowed time to talk to the Natives personally, to point out to them the necessity for their telling the truth before the Court concerning the whole transaction.

The Court adjourned accordingly until 10 a.m. the following day.
