pp.449-453	The debate on the Hawke's Bay `Ring' land transactions
	Report concerning the `Ring' transactions. Speakers are Mr Read and Mr Takamoana.
	Read criticises the Speaker, Mr Russell, for accusing Mr Sheehan of being in the pay of Maori involved in the land transactions and because of the government members being implicated in the matter; suggests that the whole matter should be raised, as Sheehan has done, and that it be promptly dealt with.
	Takamoana supports Mr Sheehan and raises questions concerning some of the transactions and says that the charges have not been brought by Mr Sheehan but by Maori themselves. States that Mr Sheehan has simply brought these to the attention of the House because of the involvement of the Native Minister and Mr Ormond, the Superintendent of Hawke's Bay. Also details his involvement in the Heretaunga purchase and states that he will not let the matter rest but will take the dispute to England if necessary. Criticises the newspaper, Te Waka Maori, which did not explain the Native Land Laws clearly to Maori.

	Reply to a report in Te Wananga [20 October, page 318] which originally appeared in the Daily Southern Cross and wrongly attributes drunkenness to the Maori of Whāingaroa.
