Ngatiraukawa settlements within kati or aukati, within which no Government official permitted to enter. Discusses meetings with Tioriori, who agreed his people would protect local Pakeha.

Heard Pirirakau tribe women and children had come over Te Aroha range. Met Riki and others of te Ngatihaua at Ohineroa. Tamati and two others wished to go to Tauranga to fight as believed William Thompson [Tamihana] had made peace for the Waikato and Thames Districts only. Discusses with them reports from Tauranga regarding results of battle.

Visited Peria, found Reweti Waikato and loyal Ngatihaua (Raihi's people) who planned to assemble at Peria to resist attacks by Ngatiraukawa on local Europeans. Tiriori and his people to remain at Maungatautari to warn Government of hostile movements by Ngatiraukawa or Ngatimaniapoto. Records also report from Mr Mainwaring from his visit to Te Kopua on the Waipa that a large meeting was planned at Tokangamutu to tangi for Tamihana. Takerei te Rau reports that Rewi proposed driving cattle to Alexandra to sell, and Matutana objected. Reports there are Europeans living within the Hauhau Aukati, including deserters from the army, storekeepers, horsestealers, escaped criminals etc, suggests the desirability of removing such characters from amongst the Natives. 22 page report]
