No. 44, (Telegram).
Mr. J. A. Knocks to the Hon. D. McLean.
"Kemp and Hunia, I am informed, are still at Horowhenua. A part only of the Muaupoko are taking part with Hunia and Kemp, the others side more or less with the Ngatiraukawa. Hunia has a strong determination not to allow the Ngatiraukawa to have any claim to the Horowhenua district, and is prepared to prevent occupation of the disputed land by force of arms. They have built a war pa, and keeping military guard. I do not think anything serious will come of it.
