hoki o lurope) i whanau rangatira, he tangata
rawa nui, he tangata rangatira i runga i o
ratou tikanga katoa atu. Na enei tikanga hoki
i taimaha ai, i "whai wahi nui ai, ratou i roto i te
kawanatanga o te motu—ara i whakaarohia ai he
tika nga e tika ai ratou i roto i te whakahaeretanga
o nga tikanga mo te motu. Ki te mea ka waiho
ratou i runga i te turanga kotahi e tu nei te iwi nui
katoa o te motu, penei, kaore he tikanga e tohe ai
ratou ki te hapai i te rangatiratanga me te here-kore-
tanga o te iwi nui tonu; no te mea tera e hanga e te
iwi nui etahi ture e tu-kinotia ai taua hunga ranga-
tira, a ka waiho te rangatiratanga o te iwi hei mate-
nga mo ratou. Heoi tonu hoki te ahua, he mea
puhaehae na te iwi nga tangata nunui. No konei, i
runga i nga ritenga kawanatanga o Ingarani e tukua
ana taua hunga rangatira kia whai wahi motu ke i
roto i te kawanatanga, he mea whakarite marire ki
to ratou, whairawatanga me to ratou turanga ranga-
tiratanga i te motu. Koia i motu ke ai ratou hei
hunga rangatira whai-tikanga ki te pehi i nga mahi a
te iwi nui tonu; hei ritenga hoki ia mo te mana o te
iwi nui e whai mana nei ki te pehi i nga mahi poka-
noa a taua hunga rangatira, ara ki te hiahia ratou,
aua rangatira, kia mahi pera ratou. Na, ko te mahi-
nga o nga tikanga o te motu kua tukua ki ena hunga
e rua, ara ki te Whare o nga Roari me te Whare o
nga mema o te iwi nui tonu—he mea takoto ke te
ara whakaaro me nga tikanga o tetahi o tetahi.
Engari he mana e whai mutunga ana te mana o nga
mema o te Whare Kamana; ka tae ki te mutunga o
te takiwa o to ratou mem atanga, ka mutu ano; ma
te iwi ano e whakahou, ara e pooti hou, e tu ai ano
ratou; penei me to tatou Whare Mema i tenei motu.
Tena ko te mana o nga mema o te Whare Roari, he
mea mutunga-kore, e mau tonu ana tuku iho ki o
ratou uri. Kei Niu Tirani nei, e tu tonu ana nga
mema o te Whare ki runga tae noa ki te mutunga o
nga ra e ora ai ratou i te ao nei, engari ehara i te
me a mutunga-kore taua mana, kaore e tukua iho ana
ki o ratou tamariki.
Heoi te hee i matakuria i roto i tenei mana mutunga-
kore o nga Roari, he mea koi whai ratou ki nga tika-
nga e ora ai ko ratou anake, e mate ai te iwi nui
tonu; no konei kua whakaritea he tikanga here i o
ratou whakaaro i runga i nga tu mahi e ahei ai ratou
te apo noa i tetahi rawa nui mo te taha ki a ratou;
koia tenei, ko te mana kua tukua ki a ratou i runga
i aua tu mahi he maua whakakore anake; kei te
Whare Kamana, te Whare ki raro, anake te mana
whakatu, ara te mana whakatu tikanga tuku moni,
aha atu. Kaore i te Whare Roari he tikanga pera;
he whakakore kau ta ratou, ki te kitea iho e he ana
aua tikanga o te Whare ki raro. He nui nga tohu
rangatira i whakataua ki runga ki nga Roari, me
etahi atu tikanga e tika ai to ratou rangatiratanga;
engari kaore rawa he mana i a ratou e ahei ai ratou
te takahi noa i nga tika o nga tangata o raro iho.
Ko te painga rawatanga tena o te tu kawanatanga o
Ingarani, ara ko tetahi wahanga hei here i tetahi
wahanga, Ko te iwi nui tonu hei here i te whakaaro
there are many persons distinguished by birth, riches,
and honours—advantages which give them such a
considerable weight in the government of the king-
dom that were they to be confounded with the multi-
tude they would have no interest in supporting
liberty, for most of the popular resolutions would he
made to their prejudice, and public liberty would he
their slavery. The great are always exposed to
popular envy. In the Constitution of England they
are therefore allowed a share in the legislature in
proportion to the interest they have in the state;
and hence they form a body of nobles that has a
right to put a stop to the enterprises of the people,
and so counterbalance the right which the people
enjoy, of putting a stop to their encroachments.
The legislative power is committed to these two
bodies; that is to say, to the House of Lords and
that of the representatives of the people—each of
which had separate views and interests. There is
this difference, however; while the individuals who
compose the House of Commons enjoy their power
but for a limited time, and can only be restored by
new powers given them by their constituents, as in
our House of Representatives in this colony, the
privileges enjoyed by the members of the House of
Lords are, in their own nature, hereditary. In New
Zealand every member of the Legislative Council
holds his seat for the term of his life, but the privi-
lege is not hereditary.
The only disadvantage that could arise from
this hereditary power of the Lords is chat they
might be tempted to pursue their own interest
to the prejudice of the public; and, there
fore, to prevent this, where they might receive great
pecuniary advantage from being corrupt, as in the
case of granting supplies, they have only the power
of refusing, while the Commons alone have that of
enacting. The Lords are invested with every out-
ward mark of dignity, and with all the privileges
necessary to maintain their rank; yet their power is
so limited that they cannot encroach upon the rights
and liberties of the inferior subjects. And herein
consists the true excellence of the British govern-
ment, that all the parts of it form a mutual check
upon each other. In the legislature the people are a
check upon the nobility, and the nobility a cheek
upon the people, by the mutual privilege of each re-
jecting what the other has resolved; while the Crown
is a check upon both, which preserves the executive

o te hunga rangatira, ko te hiinga rangatira hei here
i te whakaaro o te iwi nui, no te mea e ahei ana
tetahi ki te whakahe i nga tikanga a tetahi; ko te
Kuini hei here i nga whakaaro o taua rua, no kona
hoki i kore ai e taea te takahi noa i te mana o te
Kuini. Ko taua mana ano hoki o te Kuini, e herea
ana ano e nga Whare e rua; no te mea he mana kei
a raua ki te patai, ki te whakawa, ki te whiu, hoki, i
nga tangata ako he i a te Kuini (ara, nga Minita).
Na, e toru wahanga o te hunga kawanatanga o
Ingarani; e wehe ke ana nga tikanga o tetahi i te-
tahi; he mea here tetahi i tetahi; engari e whaka-
whirinaki tonu ana tetahi ki runga ki tetahi. Kei
te wahanga tuatahi, ara kei a te Kuini, te mana
karanga i nga Whare e rua kia hui mai, kia pakaru
atu hoki, no te mea kaore he whakaaro o aua Whare
kia huihui ratou, kia aha ranei, i te hanga e wehe ke
ana nga mema. Ki te mea kei aua whare ake ano
he tikanga e pakaru ai ratou, penei, e ahei ratou te
noho tonu; e ahei ano hoki ratou te takahi i te mana
o te Kuini; ka mahi whakawehi pea, ka takahi
tetahi i nga tika o tetahi—ara, o aua Whare e rua.
Na, mo te Kuini, kei mahi he ia, kei kore rawa e
karangatia e ia nga Whare whakatakoto ture, mo
konei kua waiho ki aua Whare nga tikanga mo nga
moni whakahaere i nga mahi o te motu; a ma aua
Whare anake e tuku he moni mo te motu mo te tau
kotahi tonu—i tena tau i tena tau tuku ai. Ka kore
e karangatia nga mema kia huihui, ka kore ai ano
hoki he moni mo nga mahi.
Otira, tera atu ano tetahi tikanga ke hei oranga
rawatanga mo te iwi. Ka oti nga ture te hanga i
runga i te whakaae o nga wahanga e rua o te Kawa-
natanga o te motu, katahi ka tukua ma etahi hunga
o te iwi e whakahaere, he hunga motu-ke tetahi i
tetahi, ko tetahi hei here i te whakaaro o tetahi, ara
ko nga kai-whakawa, nga tiati, nga huuri, me nga
aha atu. He mea whakatu nga tiati na te Kuini;
ko ratou hei whakamarama i te ture ki nga huuri;
ka whakarongo ratou ki nga kupu whakaoti a aua
huuri, katahi ka whakataua e ratou te kupu whiu,
i ta te ture i kii ai, mo nga tangata e kiia ana e
nga huuri e tika ana kia whiua ki te whiu kua oti i
te ture te whakatakoto mo nga hara ki te iwi, ki
tetahi tangata kotahi ranei o te iwi. Te mahi ma te
tiati, he whakamarama kau i te ture ki nga huuri;
otira e kore rawa ia e ahei te ako whakaaro ki a
ratou mo nga tikanga o te hara e whakawakia ana.
Me kii atu ia ki nga huuri he mea hee ki te ture
tenei mahi tera mahi ranei, a e kore aua tu mahi e
pai kia mahia; engari e kore rawa ia e kaha te ki
atu kua mahia aua tu mahi e te tangata e whaka-
wakia ana, Kei a ratou te whakaaro, ma ratou e
kite i te hara, i te kore ranei, o taua tangata. Tetahi,
e tika aua kia whakahe te herehere ki etahi o nga
tangata o te huuri; a e kore rawa tenei e mahue e
tona roia ki te kitea e ia he take e maharatia ai e
kore e tika te whakaaro o etahi, o te katoa ranei, o
taua huuri, he mauahara he aha ranei ki te here-
here, hei reira ka homai he tangata hou hei huuri.
Na, kei Ingarani, kei Niu Tirani ano hoki, ahakoa
kuare te tangata, e kore e pa kuare noa he mate ki
power from encroachments. And this very execu-
tive power is again checked and kept within due
bounds by the two houses, through the privilege they
have of enquiring into, impeaching and punishing
the conduct of evil and pernicious counsellors of
the Crown (i. e., the Ministry).
Thus the British Constitution consists of Three
States, each of which has separate privileges, each
is a check upon the other, and yet each is equally
dependent. The first, which is the Crown, the exe-
cutive power, has the privilege of assembling, pro-
roguing, and dissolving the two legislative bodies,
because these are supposed to have no will, except
when assembled; if they had the right to prorogue
themselves, they might never be prorogued; they
might encroach on the executive power; they might
become despotic, and one of them might even
destroy the liberties of the other. But as the execu-
tive power might make an ill use of this privilege
by never assembling the legislative bodies, it is ren-
dered dependent on these bodies, by their holding
the sinews of government in their hands, and grant-
ing the necessary supplies only from year to year.
But the liberties of the English people are still
further guarded and ensured; for when the laws
are made by the mutual consent of two of the three
divisions of the constitutional government, the exe-
cution of those laws is entrusted to several divisions
unconnected with, and forming a perfect check
upon, each other, as magistrates, judges, juries, &c.
The judges are appointed by the Crown, and they
deliver the law to the juries, receive their verdicts,
and pronounce sentence, according to law, upon
those persons whom, the juries decide to have in-
curred any of the various penalties awarded by the
law to certain species of offences against society, or
any individual member of society. But the judge,
though it is his duty to explain the law to the juries,
cannot interfere with their judgment of the facts.
He must tell them that such and such actions are
contrary to law, and may not be committed, but he
does not dare to tell them that a prisoner or de-
fendant has committed such or such an action. It is
for them to determine upon the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner or defendant; and, be it observed,
the accused has a right to challenge the jury; a right
which his counsel never fails to exercise if there be
any ground for supposing that any one, or all, of
the jury is not strictly impartial.
Thus in England, and in New Zealand also, the
liberty, property, or life of the humblest individual
cannot be invaded by the hand of oppression without

heoi rawa te tikanga e mate hee ai ia, me whakako-
tahi te whakaaro o nga wahanga e toru o te motu
(ara, te Kuini, me nga Roari, me nga mema o te
iwi) kia kino marire he mahi ma ratou; me rite tahi
hoki te oati parau o te tekau ma rua o te huuri, me

te hui e tu nei kei Parihaka. Ko te Komihana o
taua takiwa e ki ana, ko te kupu a te Whiti
e ki ana e kore rawa ia e pai kia puta he
pakanga hei whakararuraru i te rangimarietanga e tu
nei i nga iwi e rua. Ko te Make e ki ana, kai te

We clip the following from the Wellington Times
and other papers: —
April 19th.
Mr. Sheehan when interviewing the Natives OB
his visit to the coast last week, devoted his attention
to examining those alleged promises made by the late
Sir Donald M'Lean, and he states that he found
that every promise made either by Sir Donald Mc-
Lean or other Native Ministers has been faithfully
fulfilled to the letter. As to the promises which Te
Whiti alleged to have been made to himself, the
closest investigation failed to show that he had the
slightest grounds for his claims. He was given
plainly to understand this. Two telegrams have
been received by the Government relative to the
meeting now being held at Parihaka. The Native
Commissioner of the District telegraphs that Te
Whiti has explicitly and publicly declared that on no
account will he allow any disturbance or breach of
the peace now existing between the two races. Mr.
Mackay reports that he is engaged with Te Whiti in
discussing the whole question, and with every hope
of a speedy solution of the difficulty, as the Maori
prophet has entirely dropped his mystical and pro-
phetical style, and talks of matters in a business-
like manner.
Nothing has yet been done regarding the Wai-
mate difficulty in the way of coming to a final decision.
Sheehan, Mackay, Brown, and Parris have spent
a good deal of time in consultation, but the result
of their deliberations has not been disclosed.
April 20th.
The Parihaka meeting is over, and Mr. Mackay
has returned. No definite settlement was come to,
but large numbers of the Natives approve of the
proposal of a commission.
CAPE NEWS.

The following is the latest news from the Cape by

April 8.
News from the Cape states that Col. Wood met
and defeated the Zulus.
The loss of life was very heavy.
The British lost 400, and the Zulus 3, 000.
News from Cape Town of April 8th states that
Lord Chelmsford's camp at Gingolara was repeatedly
attacked by 11, 000 Zulus at daybreak on the 3rd,
and repulsed with heavy loss to the Zulus.
Lord Chelmsford relieved Ekowe on the night of
the 4th. The total British loss was 220.

CORRESPONDENCE.
—————»*—————
To the Editor of the WAKA MAORI.
Hikurangi, March, 1879.
FRIEND, —Greeting. Here are a few words for
our Waka, that all may hear how Grey and his minis-
ter (Sheehan) are working to the detriment and in-
jury of Pakehas and Maories everywhere by their
system of monopolising Native lands. They are
desirous of obtaining large blocks of land at a small
price, for the purpose of selling them to Pakeha
capitalists at a high figure. Herein you Pakehas
make a mistake. You encourage this unrighteous
proceeding, and unnecessarily spend all your money.
This is the reason why the government must purchase
the lands, and the Pakehas are not allowed to pur-
chase land from Maories; that those two (Grey and
Sheehan) by their subtle arts may acquire the Maori
lands at a shilling an acre and then sell them to Pa-
kehas of means for a large price, for the purpose of
replenishing the funds of the colony which have been
squandered by them in * * *. Why is this
Government allowed to remain in office so long ? We
the Hau-Haus have not brought on evil for those two
(Grey & Sheehan), they have of their own accord
rushed heedlessly on their downward course, vainly
supposing that the people would admire and praise
their Government. The government of Sir Donald
McLean was never like the present one. I have
heard the lands promised to Tawhiao by the old man
Grey are to be sold, viz: Harapepe at Waipau, and
Pirongia mountain. These lands were promised to
Tawhiao at Hikurangi. And this is the honour of
the man who said, " Let there be but one course of
proceedure, one rule, for both races. " How can this
be, when Grey is preparing trouble for the people. ?
This is the sort of thing which keeps the two races
apart.
From your
INTELLIGENT MAORI CORRESPONDENT,
[We have been obliged to expunge several para-
graphs from the above letter, the expressions used
being very strong. ]
We learn from Taupo that Major Kemp and a
large party of Wanganui and Napier Natives passed
through there yesterday to attend a meeting of King
Natives at Puniu. —A petition to the Government.
to allow a subsidy to the steamer Victoria has been
signed by the European residents, and by most of
the influential Maori chiefs in the Taupo district. —
Hawke's Bay Herald.
A letter written from Taranaki to Auckland bays
the attitude of the Waimate Natives is extremely
vicious, and the writer predicts mischief.
We are very sorry to hear that Mr. G. S. Cooper
Under Secretary, is confined to his bed very ill. His
illness will be deeply regretted by a large circle of
friends. His general urbanity, kindness of heart,
and consideration for the feelings of those under his
direction, deservedly secured for him the esteem of
every officer in the service who knew him, We
sincerely hope he may soon. be restored to health.

[The following letters, being of no interest whatever to
Europeans, are published in Maori only. Our Native sub-
scribers complain very bitterly if we do not give insertion to
their letters, many of which are upon subjects so trivial and un-
important that making translations of them would be an en-

the exclusion of more useful matter. We propose therefore, as a
