NAPIER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1879.
NOTWITHSTANDING the crushing defeat which Sir
George Grey has sustained, he still clings to office
with the tenacity of an oyster to a rock. He has
been so long accustomed to hold the reins of power,
and possesses so exalted an idea of his own abilities
and merits, that he cannot by any means realise the
fact, which is patent to everyone else, that the people
oi this colony have entirely lost confidence in him.
He professes to believe that the House does not
represent the opinion of the people; talks about
wicked squatters and land jobbers robbing the people
of their inheritance; holds out to the "working
men" a tempting bait of liberal institutions, under
which every man is to become an independent land-

kai-mahi o te iwi ana tikanga poapoa; kii ana ma
aua tikanga e whiwhi katoa ai nga kai-mahi i te tahi
whenua ma ratou; kii ana hoki ka whakarite tikanga
ia e whai pooti katoa ai nga tangata o te motu—he
mea rapea kia pooti te katoa ki te taha ki ratou ko
ona tangata kia tu ai ano ratou, kia tika ai. He pena
tonu te tu o ana korero. Kua kore ia e pai kia mate
ia i te Whare; e kii ana ki te mea ka pa ia ki te
motu katoa, ma nga tangata rawakore ia e whakata
ano ki toua turanga whai mana; no kona ia i tono
ai ki te Kawana kia pakarua te Whare, whakaae ana
hoki te Kawana ki tana tono; engari nga kupu
tohutohu & te Kawana ki a ia i mea, kia pakaru te
Whare inaianei tata ano; kaua etahi tikanga noa e
hoatu e ia, e Kerei, ki roto ki te Whare i tenei wa
hei whakaroa, engari ko nga tikanga anake e ahei ai
te whakahaere i nga mahi o te motu i te wa e ngaro
ai te Paremete; kaua e hoatu he take tautohetohe
ki te Whare i tenei wa; tetahi, me hohoro rawa te
karanga i te Paremete hou kia huihui. He mea
whakakuare i nga tangata rawakore o te motu te
whakaaro e mea nei era e ware o ratou mahara ki
nga mahi whakawai a Ta Hori Kerei ratou ko ana
mokai tinitini e whai haere ana i muri i a ia. Ko
nga tangata kai-mahi o nga iwi e rua ano e tino
mohio katoa ana kaore rawa a Ta Hori Kerei, ratou
ko ona tangata matai kai, e tumanako ana ki te
oranga mo nga kai-mahi; engari ko nga pooti anake
a nga tangata kai-mahi ta ratou e tumanako ana hei
whakanui mo ratou, a hei te ra o te pootitanga te
kite ai a Ta Hori Kerei i te puku riri a aua kai-mahi
ki a ia nao ana tikanga whakawai i a ratou, kua
mohiotia nei hoki e ratou he hanga noaiho, he parau.
E ki ra ia, he atawhai, he manaaki tangata kei a Ta
Hori Kerei! Katahi te hanga e kata rawa ai te
tangata, no te mea ko ana tikanga o tona oranga
katoatanga o mua iho, he pehi i te tangata, he wha-
kakuare i te tangata. Ka haere te tangata i te motu
i enei ra, ka rongo ia ki nga kupu o te nuinga o te
tangata o whakahe ana ki a Ta Hori Kerei, e mea ana
ehara ia i te tangata tika hei whakahaere i nga mahi
o te motu. Ko nga Maori ia o te motu, e kino katoa
ana ki te ingoa o Ta Hori Kerei; na, he mea ata
whakapuaki marire tenei na matou. Tena oti; e ui
ki nga Maori o Haake Pei ki to ratou whakaaro mo
Kerei; akuanei penei ai he kupu ma ratou, " He hau
kau ana kupu; kaore ano i pono noa tetahi o ana
kupu ki a matou; tetahi, -no te hunga whakorekore
a Ta Hori Kerei, ko te mea hoki tena i mate ai
matou. "
Ki te mea ka waiho e nga iwi o Niu Tirani taua
tangata whakawai, a Ta Hori Kerei, me ona mokai
matai kai nei, kia tu tonu ana hei kai-whakahaere i
nga tikanga Kawanatanga, apopo ratou te kite ai
kua kore nga tikanga ahuareka e whakaaria aua
inaianei hei poapoa i a ratou, ara te whakamana i te

tanga o nga mahi. Kawanatanga; engari he tikanga
whakawehi te tikanga, he Kawanatanga tupua, he
whakaheke tupu tangata. E kore ano hoki e tika
kia riri rawa i te iwi noa atu o te motu te tino mana
mo nga tikanga Kawanatanga; tera e nui te raru-
owner; that indispensable condition of democracy,
universal suffrage, is offered—which, of course, for
the proper carrying put of the programme, is, to be
used support of Sir George Grey and his followers.
He has refused to accept his defeat in the
House, he professes to believe that the "poor
man" will restore him to power if an appeal be made
to the country, and he has therefore applied to the
Governor for a dissolution, which has been granted
by His Excellency with the stipulations that the
Parliament shall be dissolved with the least possible
delay, that meanwhile no measure shall be proposed
that may not be imperatively required, that no con-
tested motion whatever shall be brought forward,
and that the new Parliament shall be called together
without any loss of time. It is an insult to the
" poor man, " and a reflection upon his understand-
ing, to suppose for a moment that he is gulled
by the liberal professions of Sir George
Grey and the host of political adventurers and
hangers-on in his train. The " working men" of
both races know well that Sir George Grey and his
hungry followers do not care a snap of the finger for
the welfare of the poor man; it is the "working
men's" votes they want for their own selfish purposes,
and Sir George Grey will find that, on the polling
day, they will resent his despicable attempt to gull
them by professions which they know to be delusive
and disingenuous. The idea of liberalism being
associated with the name of Sir George Grey is too
ridiculous; his whole life has been directly opposed
to such an idea. Let a man travel through the
country at the present time, and he will hear from
three-fourths of the people strong expressions of
condemnation against Sir George Grey as a man
totally unfit to be trusted with the government of
the colony. Among the Maories the name of Sir
George Grey, whether rightly or wrongly, is execrated
throughout the country; and we say this deliberately
and advisedly. Ask the Maories of Hawke's Bay
especially what they think of Grey, and they will
say, " His words are mere wind; he has never ful-
filled so much as a single one of his promises to us;
moreover, repudiation and the Grey party are identi-
cal, and repudiation has ruined us. "
If the people of New Zealand suffer the arch-
plotter, Sir George Grey, and his greedy followers,
to retain the reins of government, they will
find that, instead of a realisation of the happi-
ness held out to them in the fascinating
theory of a perfect democracy, the most absolute
despotism will follow, —we had almost said, they
will find themselves under a demonocracy. A per-
fect democracy is inconsistent with the imperfection
of human nature: the ungovernable passions of
mankind would soon make it degenerate either into
a tyrannical oligarchy or absolute anarchy.

Na, mo te tono a Ta Hori Kerei kia pakarua te
Paremete; no te whakaaetanga A te Kawana, katahi
ka ngakau kore ia kia pa ia ki nga " kai-mahi" o
Niu Tirani. Kua pawera ia ki te otinga e oti ai; no
kona ka mahi ia i etahi mahi maminga, koroiroi noa
nei; kia roa ai ia e tu ana i tona turanga. Kua taka-
hia e ia nga kupu tohutohu a te Kawana i ki ai ia
kaua e tuku tikanga noa ki te Whare hei whakaroa
i te Paremete, kaua hoki he take tautohetohe. Ko
tenei kua tu a hianga ia ki te Whare, kua tahuri ki
te tohutohu tikanga, kihai i whakaaro ki te kupu a
te Whare i kiia ra e kore ratou e whakapono ki a
ia; kua whakamatau ia ki te whakatu take i te
aroaro o te Whare e tautohetohe roa ai nga mema.
Otira kihai i pai te hunga turaki i te Kawanatanga,
kaore i tahuri ki aua mea; ki atu ana to ratou upoko,
a Ta Wiremu Pokiha, ka pai tonu ratou ki te awhi-
na i te Kawanatanga i runga i te whakaaetanga

With respect to Sir George Grey's application for
A dissolution, now that it has been granted he does
not appear to be so anxious to Appeal to the " work-
ing men" oi New Zealand. He seems to entertain
some misgiving as to the result; and consequently he
has been trying a variety of crafty and temporising
devices with the view of prolonging his tenure of
office. In contravention of the Governor's injunc-
tion that he should propose no measures not impera-
tively required, and introduce no debateable matter,
he has attempted to dictate terms to the House al-
though it has declared its utter want of confidence in
him, and, for the purpose of gaining time, he has
striven to bring forward several bills and ques-
tions calculated to produce long and, possibly, angry
discussions. The Opposition, however, very properly
declined to go into such matters, but stated, through
Sir W. Fox, that they were prepared to afford every
assistance to the Government in carrying out the Sup-
ply and Loan Bills. It was finally agreed that only
those measures should be brought forward. Sir
George Grey wanted four months supply, but the
Opposition would only agree to three. It is said the
elections will take place in the first week in Septem-
ber, and that Parliament will reassemble in the third
week in September. Meanwhile, we warn our
Native friends to be careful that they be not
deceived, and led ignorantly to vote for a supporter
of the Grey party. If they do, they will be helping
to bring into power the Repudiation party, which
has been the cause of so much suffering and misery
to them in the past.
On Monday, the 4th instant, nine Natives were
charged at the R. M. Court at Gisborne with unlaw-
fully assembling with others, to the number of fifteen,
at Matawhero, to disturb the peace, and with assault-
ing Philip Bond and expelling him with strong force
and arms from a farm which he had occupied for a
number of years. The Natives stated they had been
instigated by Wi Pere to test the title to the land,
which had been leased by Bond from the late Captain
Read, and which the Natives say was never paid for
by Captain Read. The prisoners were remanded.
Wi Pere is well known to the people of Gisborne
as a captious and troublesome half-caste of Hau-Hau
antecedents and proclivities, and his connection will
evil advisers belonging to the Repudiation party has
by no means improved him. If the Natives of Gis-
borne have been wronged in any way they can obtain
redress in the courts of justice, but they cannot be
allowed to resort the club law; they must learn to
obey the law as the Pakehas have to do or take the
consequences, The deluded followers of te Whiti
are about to be tried in the Supreme Court for the
commission of acts less criminal than those of Wi
Pere's followers appear to have been. With that
example before their eyes the Natives of Gisborne
should be careful how they allow themselves to be led
by such an ill-conditioned and perverse fellow as Wi
Pere, He sends them into trouble while, like the Whiti,

raua ai kia " tupato" ia, a ko ta matou kupu ano
tena ki a ia inaianei ano hoki.
NGA HEREHERE MAORI.
—————•—————
Kua mea mai a Wi Parata kia panuitia e matou
enei korero kei raro nei no roto i te Iwiningi Pohi
nupepa o Werengitana: —I kii matou i tetahi rangi
kua taha ake nei kua puta te tono a Takuta Pura kia
tukua mai i te whareherehere a Wiremu Kingi
Matakatea i runga i te tikanga o te " Peira" (he
pukapuka whakaae kia utu moni te " Peira" ki te
kore ia e hoki mai kia whakawakia ia i te wa e tu ai
te whakawa). Kihai te Kawanatanga i whakahe
ki tenei, a whakaae ana te Kai-whakawa. I
penatia ano hoki he tikanga mo Winara,
te tama matamua a Wi Parata. I haere a Takuta
Pura inanahi, raua ko tetahi Kai-whakawa, ki te
paraki o te whareherehere ki te whakarite i taua
tikanga " peira" nei. I hui katoa nga herehere ki te
whakarongo ki nga kupu a to ratou roia; tokorua
tonu i mahue atu, i tetahi rumu hoki raua e noho
moke aua (he tutu hoki no raua). I ki atu ki a
ratou kua puta te kupu a te Hihana kia whakakorea
te whakapae mo Winara, ara kia kore he whakawa
mona, otira kaore i pai tona papa (a Wi Parata) kia
tukua mai tona tama i tena ara; no te mea kotahi
ano te take i herea ai ratou katoa ko ona hoa, kaore
he rerenga-ketanga o tetahi o tetahi. Engari he tono
tana kia tukua mai tona tama i runga ano o te ara o
ia mahi, ara me " peira. " Ko Hemi Katera raua ko
Wi Tako nga hoa whakakapi mona, ara nga tangata
hei homai moni ki te kore ia e hoki mai kia whaka-
wakia ia. Ka mutu tena, ka korerotia ki aua here-
here kua pai te Kawanatanga kia " peiratia " a Wi
Kingi Matakatea, no te mea kaore i ngaro tona mahi
pai i te matenga o te tima i mua ai; a kua whakaae
te Kai-whakawa ko Meiha Keepa raua ko Wi
Parata hei tangata whakakapi mona. Katahi ka
whakatika taua kaumatua ka ki: —" E pai ana kia
whakaaro te Pakeha ki a au; otira e kore au e haere
atu i te whareherehere nei. Ki te mea ka mate aku
tamariki, me mate tahi matou. Ka haere au, me
haere tahi matou. Kaore i pokea o matou ringa i
te hara, no konei kaore matou e pouri ana mo to
matou nohoanga ki roto ki te whareherehere. Ko
taku tiakanga i nga Pakeha o te tima i pae ki uta,
he mea noa tena. Ka noho tonu au i konei. " Ka-
tahi ka karangatia a Winara Parata, a whakaritea
ana te "peira" mona kotahi rau pauna.
Ka mutu taua mahi ka korero a te Rangi Puahoa-
ho; ngawari ana, pai ana, ana korero. I ki ia, he
kai mahi kau ratou nga herehere ki te whakahaere
i te whakaaro a te Whiti i mahi ai ratou ki te parau
i te whenua; kaore hoki ratou i mahi kino ki te
patu tangata, ki te aha ranei. Kaore ia e mohio
aua ka ora i te Hupirimi Kooti nga mate o nga
Maori; e taea hoki te aha, u a te mate. E ahua
manahau, ana aua herehere, a i korero a Takuta
Pura kia noho pai tonu ratou, kia rite tonu i a ratou
nga ture o taua whare, ahakoa kei nga mea iti noa
he takes good care to keep in the background him-
self. The great fault of the Maori people in New
Zealand, and it is one which always leads them into
difficulty and trouble, is their gullibility and prone-
ness to submit to the guidance of democratical
schemers and adventurers, whether Pakeha or Maori.
We should not be surprised if our respectable friend
Wi Pere should take it into his head some day to set
up for a prophet and promise his simple followers all
manner of good things. We have beforetime cau-
tioned him to "beware, " and we now repeat that
caution.
THE MAORI PRISONERS.
—————+—————
The Hon Wi Parata has requested us to insert the
following from the Wellington Evening Post —
As we stated a day or two ago, an application was
made by Dr. Buller for the liberation of Wiremu
Kingi Matakatea on bail, and not being opposed by
the Government, was at once granted by the Resi-
dent Magistrate. A similar application was agreed
to on behalf of Winara, the eldest son of Wi Parata.
Yesterday Dr. Buller accompanied by another Jus-
tice of the Peace, attended at the prison barracks,
for the purpose oi taking the recognizances of these
two men. The whole of the prisoners except two
who are in solitary confinement, assembled them-
selves in the main building to hear what their coun-
sel had to say. It was explained to them that the
Hon. Mr Sheehan had proposed a nolle prosequi in
the case of young Parata, but that his father had
absolutely refused to accept his liberation on any
such terms, his offence being in no respect different
from that of his co-prisoners. He had applied however
to have him liberated on bail, in the ordinary way,
Mr James Cattell and Wi Tako being the sureties
for his appearance at the trial. It was then further
explained that the Government had offered no oppo-
sition to the granting of bail to Wi Kingi Matakatea,
whose good services at the time of the Lord Worsley
had not been forgotten, and that the Magistrate had
accepted Major Kemp and Wi Parata as sureties.
The old man thereupon rose and said: —" It is good
of the Pakeha to think of me, but I will not leave
the prison. If my children are to suffer we will suf-
together. If I may go, let them go also. Our hands
are not soiled with crime, and we are therefore not
I pouri about being imprisoned. As to my care of
the Pakehas who were wrecked, that is nothing. I
remain here. " Winara Parata was then called for-
ward, and entered into his recognizance in the sum
of £100.
After these formalities were completed, Te Rangi
puahoaho made a temperate speech, in the course of
which he said that he and his co-prisoners were the
mere instruments of Te Whiti's will in ploughing up
the land, and that they had committed no act of vio-
lence. He said that he had no hope of the Maori
wrongs being redressed by the Supreme Court, and
it mattered very little now what happened to them.
The prisoners, as a whole, seemed cheerful and con-
tented, and Dr. Buller urged them to observe order
and discipline even in the smallest matters, lest the

nei, me whakarongo tonu ratou, kei whakarangona e
te iwi nui o te Pakeha nga korero whakaohooho e
puta ana i roto i nga nupepa mo ratou, ara nga
korero e kiia ana he mahi tutu he mahi whakararu-
raru ta ratou e noho nei, a ka ngakau kino ai te
Pakeha ki a ratou, I te hokinga mai o Takuta Pura,
ka tuhia e ia i roto i te pukapuka o te Wharehere-
here tana kupu whakapai mo te ahua o aua here-
here. Pa ana to ratou umere i tona hokinga mai,
ngahau ana.
Kua rongo matou e tuku pitihana ana a Wi Parata
ki nga Whare e rua mo te taha ki aua herehere, kia
kaua ratou e whakawakia e te Tino Kai-whakawa o
te Hupirimi Kooti: no te mea ki tana whakaaro,
kua hohoro taua Kai-whakawa te whakaputa kupu
whakahe mo ratou: a he inoi ta aua pitihana kia
whakawakia ratou i te aroaro o etahi o nga Kai-
whakawa o te Hupirimi Kooti kaore nei e piri ana ki
tetahi taha ki tetahi taha; e mea ana hoki a Wi
Parata kia motu ke he nohoanga o te Hupirimi
Kooti hei whakawa i aua herehere.
OAKURA WAHI WHENUA.
—————+—————
Ko tena wahi whenua ko Oakura, ara ko te
whenua ia i hopukia ai etahi o nga Maori parau
whenua, i tangohia i runga i te rau patu i te 13 o
Hanuere, 1865. Na Ngamahanga taua whenua;
nga eka o roto e 27, 500. I mohiotia ano i te wa i
tangohia ai taua whenua i piri pono ki a te Kuini
etahi tangata o taua hapu, i pikitia e ratou te turanga
o te Pakeha i roto i te whawhai. No kona ka wha-
katuria he Kooti Komihana hei titiro i nga tangata o
taua hapu i pai me nga tangata i tutu. Ko te Pene-
tana, ko te Rokena, ko te Manaro, nga Komihana o
taua Kooti; i noho, ki Taranaki i te 1 o Hune tae
noa ki te 12 o Hurae, 1866. Kitea ana e ratou e
waru mano eka o taua whenua i kino noa iho, heoi
nga eka i pai hei nohoanga tangata, kotahi te kau
ma iwa mano e rima rau eka. E 285 nga tangata i
noho i runga i taua wahi, kitea ana e te Kooti 115 o
aua tangata i noho pai. Na, i kiia i roto i te panui-
tanga a Ta Hori Kerei i te tau 1864, ko nga wahi
whenua a nga Maori i piri tonu ki a te Kuini ka
whakatuturutia ki a ratou. Ko nga tangata
noho pai i muri iho ka whakamutua te wha-
whai ki a ratou, ka waiho kia noho ana i
runga i o ratou wahi whenua. Mea ana te Kooti me
rite tahi te rahi o te whenua ki ia tangata ki ia
tangata, a tauria ana nga tangata noho tika kitea
ana, hui katoa ratou, he tika kia riro i a ratou e 7400
eka o nga wahi pai o taua whenua. Heoi, ka ori
tena whakaaro i te Kooti; muri iho, e ai ki ta te
Penetana, kitea ana e te Kooti 2500 tonu eka o nga
wahi tika o taua whenua e toe ana, kaore i hoatu ki
nga Pakeha hoia; kaore ranei i rahuitia hei whenua
Kawanatanga, hei whenua hoko ranei. Tera tetahi
Ture o te. tau 1865 e tuku mana ana ki te Kooti kia
hoatu he whenua ki nga Maori hei ritenga mo te
moni utu mo to ratou matenga; a i hiahia te Kooti
kia pera he tikanga mana. Kitea ana e taua Kooti
kaore ona kaha ki te pana i nga hoia Pakeha i runga
taua whenua, ki te tango ranei i nga wahi rahui a
te Kawanatanga, nga wahi ranei kua panuitia mo te
hoko. Katahi ka unga te Rokena, Tiati, kia haere
mai ia ki Werengitana korero ai raua ko te Minita
Maori, a Kanara Rata, kimi tikanga ai mo tana mea
Katahi ka haere a Kanara Rata ki Taranaki, ka ki
atu ki te tangata a te Kawanatanga ki reira, a te
Atikihana (kaua te Atikihana minita nei), kia hoatu
ki nga Maori te 2500 eka e toe ana, nga wahi rahu
katoa a te Kawanatanga, me nga toenga katoa o te
whenua kaore i riro i nga hoia Pakeha, hei otinga
rawatanga mo te taha ki a ratou, ki nga Maori
sensational stories that found their way into the
newspapers about "mutinies" and "threatened
revolts " should create a prejudice against them in
the public mind. On signing the visitors' hook Dr.
Buller added, " no complaints " and from the man-
ner in which the prisoners cheered him on leaving,
they appeared to be happy enough.
We are informed that the Hon Wi Parata is pe-
titioning both Houses on behalf of the prisoners,
protesting against their being tried before the Chief
Justice, who in his opinion has prejudged the whole
case, and praying that they may be tried for their
alleged crimes before impartial and independent
Judges at a special sitting of the Supreme '
Court,
THE OAKURA BLOCK.
—————»—————
The Oakura block, on which some of the plough-
men were arrested, was confiscated on the 13th Jan-
uary, 1865. It belonged to the Ngamahanga people,
and contained some 27, 500 acres. It was known at
the time of the confiscation that a section of the
hapu, had remained loyal, and fought on the Euro-
pean side during the war. Consequently a commis-
sion was appointed to decide who were loyal. among
the hapu and who had been rebellious. The Court
consisted of Messrs Fenton, Rogan, and Munro, and
sat in New Plymouth from June 1 to July 12, 1866.
They found from the evidence of experts that 8000
acres of the block was valueless, reducing the land
fit for occupation to 19, 500 acres. There were 285
resident claimants, of which number the Court found
115 loyal. According to a proclamation issued by
Sir George Grey in 1864, all loyal Natives should
have their lands secured to them, All those who re-
mained quiet were promised that no further attack
should be made upon them, and such as thenceforth
remained quiet were assured the full benefit and
peaceful enjoyment of their land. For purposes of
adjustment, the Court regarded all adults as having
claims to an equal acreage, and by an easy computa-
tion. found that the loyal Natives were entitled to
7400 acres of the available land. Having made this
tentative award the Court, according to memorandum
of F. D Fenton, found only 2500 acres of available
land were left that had not been either given to mili-
tary settlers or made Government reserves, or open
for sale. Under clause IT, of the New Zealand
Settlement Amendment Act 1865 power is given to
the Compensation Court to give compensation to
Natives in land instead of in money, and the Court
doubtless desired to do so. It found it had no power
to eject military settlers or deal with Government
reserves, or land advertised for sale. One of the
judges, Mr Rogan, was then sent to Wellington to
confer with the Native Minister, Colonel Russell, as
to what course should be adopted. Colonel Russell
came to New Plymouth, and instructed the Crown
Agent, Mr W. S. Atkinson, to offer the Natives in
final compensation of their claims the 2500 acres un-
alienated, all the Government reserves and the whole
of the land not allotted to military settlers. This
was done, and Mr. Atkinson informed Mr Parris
that the offer had been accepted. Mr Parris, in a
letter dated June 29th, 1866, informed the Govern-
ment that this offer had been accepted, and estimated
the land accepted by the Natives in lieu of their

Heoi, peratia ana; korero ana hoki te Atikihana ki
a Parete kua whakaae nga Maori ki taua tikanga.
Muri iho ka tuhi reta a te Parete ki te Kawanatanga
i te 29 o Hune, 1866, he whakaatu i te whakaae-
tanga a nga Maori ki taua tikanga, kiia ana hui
katoa nga whenua hei riro i nga Maori i runga i taua
tikanga ka kotahi te kau mano eka. I kiia kia hoatu
he Karauna karaati ki aua Maori o Oakura mo nga
whenua e hoatu ana ki a ratou, otira kaore ano kia
hoatu aua karaati tae noa mai ki tenei ra. Kaore
he whenua i tangohia i runga i te rau patu i muri
mai o te tau 1865, ara i raro i te mana o te Ture
Whakanoho Kainga o Niu Tirani; engari i te tau
1871 i panuitia i roto i nga pukapuka Kawanatanga
nga whenua i riro i te Kawanatanga i runga i te rau
patu; a i whakaurua ki roto ki taua panuitanga nga
whenua i whakaaetia kia hoatu, kia rahuitia ranei,
ma nga Maori o te takiwa ki Taranaki. Koia nei te
tuhinga o aua wahi rahui: —" Oakura, 12, 338 eka;
Waitara ki te taha Tonga, 10, 673 eka; Takutai o

Waitotara, kitea ana te nui 1335. heoi ano. Na, ki
te mea ka riro i a ratou enei wahi rahui kua nui rawa
te oranga mo ratou.
HE RONGO PAI MO NGA KAI-HOKO. —E korerotia
ana mea ake ka tae mai ki Nepia nei etahi Maori,
rua rau, toru, ranei, no Whanganui me te Tai Hau-
auru, a HE MONI KEI ROTO I O RATOU PAKETE. I oti
te whakaaro i nga tangata na ratou tetahi whenua
rahi kei te takiwa ki Patea kia whakawakia taua
whenua i roto i te Kooti Whenua; ko a Otmakapua
te ingoa o taua wahi. Otira kaore i rite te whakaaro
ki te wahi hei tuunga mo te Kooti; tohe ana etahi
hei tetahi kainga, tohe ana etahi hei tetahi kainga.
Katahi ka tukua te tikanga ki a Renata Kawepo,

claims at about 10, 000 acres. The Oakura Natives
were promised Crown grants for what land was ar-
ranged, to be given, them, hut such grants have not
been issued to the present day. There has been no
confiscations under the New Zealand Settlements
Act since 1865, but in Appendix c., 1871, a return
of the land confiscated to the General Government
was published, and included in this return the quan-
tity of land given or agreed to be given or reserved
for Natives whether friendly or not is published un-
der the heading Taranaki. The following reserves
are given; —" Oakura, 12, 338 acres; Waitara South
10, 673 acres; Ngatiawa Coast, 55, 044 acres; Patea
21, 233 acres; Ngatiruanui Coast, 47, 954 acres. —
(Signed), G. S. COOPER, September 9, 1871. " Ac-
cording to a recent return, all the male Maories over
fifteen years of age living in the Taranaki district
from Mokau to Waitotara only number 1335; if,
therefore, they received these reserves, they would
be amply provided for. —" New Zealand Times. "
GOOD NEWS FOR THE SHOPKEEPERS. —Napier, we
are informed, will shortly be visited by a few hun-
dred Natives from Whanganui and the West Coast,
WITH MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS. It was determined
by the parties interested to have the titles to a large
block oi land in the Patea district, called Otamaka-
pua, investigated in the Land Court; but a dispute
arose as to where the Court should sit, one party
being in favor of one place and the other of another
place. As neither would give way, the matter was
referred to Renata Kawepo, who decided that the
investigation should take place in the Court at
Napier. Accordingly the claims were advertised in
the Kahiti to be heard at the present sittings of the
Court at this place. Owing to some inaccuracy,
however, in the advertisement, the hearing has been
adjourned till September next, when it is expected
that some 3 or 4 hundred Natives from the West
Coast will put in an appearance. A payment of
some thousands of pounds, we believe, has lately
been made to them on account of land, a consider-
able proportion of which we have no doubt will be
spent in Napier. ' We therefore suggest that the in-
telligent traders of this town advertise their goods
by distributing: largely among these visitors neat
Maori handbills PRINTED AT THE OFFICE OR THE
WAKA MAORI. The man who distributes the great-
est number of handbills will assuredly take the
greatest amount of cash. We make no charge for
translation. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
That most horrible of sea-monsters, the "devil-
fish" is apparently becoming unpleasantly common
on our coasts. A few days ago an enormous speci-
men was found dead in Lyell Bay, Wellington, and
we now read that a fishing party caught an octopus
8ft in length near the lighthouse at Nelson, a day or
two ago. They cut off the creature's arms and then
let it go. A monster of that size can draw a good
sized boat down into the depths. In the deadly grasp
of its arms a man is absolutely powerless; and the
creature is provided with a powerful beak. with.
which he rends his prey to pieces. —Rangitikei Advo-
cate.

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI,
E ki ana a Ta Hori Kerei he " tikanga atawhai
nui " tana mo te motu, engari he tikanga raruraru
nui ia mo te motu. Heoi te mea e whakaaroa ana e
Ta Hori Kerei ko te nui mona ake ano; he takahi
noa tana mahi i nga apiha Kawanatanga katoa e arai
ana i a ia e kore ai ia e tae ki tetahi turanga mana
nui rawa ki runga ake o te katoa. E kata ana tatou
ki nga akonga e whakawaia ana e te porangi e te
Whiti; engari te mea tika, me kata tatou ki nga hipi
kanohi pura e whai noa ana ki muri i a Ta Hori
Kerei, ahakoa he huanui pikopiko, ururua, kore noa
he tutukitanga, whai kuare tonu ratou.
I mua ai e mau ana te ingoa o te Riihi i te Rouru
tangata pooti o Waitemata mo te tau 1877, engari i
horoia atu tona ingoa i muri nei, kaore hoki i tuhia
ki etahi atu rouru o te takiwa ki Akarana katoa.
Na ki te mea kaore tona ingoa i tetahi o nga rouru
o te taha ki te tonga, penei e kore ia e ahei kia poo-
titia hei mema Paremete i te pootitanga e takoto ake
nei.
Ko Ta Hori Kerei raua ko te Hihana kua kii kia
tu raua hei mema mo Hauraki. -
E korerotia ana i tu a riri te korero a te Kawana
raua ko Ta Hori Kerei i te Hatarei kua taha ake
nei. I whakahe te Kawana ki te mahi a Kerei ki te
hoatu i etahi Pire ki roto ki te Paremete e tautohe-
tohe ai te Whare i tenei wa; i mea ia he mea takahi
taua mahi i aua kupu i tohutohu ai ki a Kerei, ara
" kia kaua etahi take tautohe, whakaroa i te Whare, e
korerotia inaianei i te mea e pakaru ana te Pare-
mete.
Kua takoto te tikanga a nga mema Maori o nga
Whare taua rua kia whakaritea etahi roia hoa mo
nga Maori i hereherea mo ta ratou mahi parau whe-
nua; tetahi he kimi i te tika, te hee ranei, o te riro-
nga o nga whenua i tangohia i runga i te rau o te
patu. Ko Taiaroa te upoko o ta ratou runanga, ko
Wi Parata te Hekeretari. Ko Tukuta Pura raua ko
te Tarawera nga roia kua whakaritea e ratou hei hoa
mo nga herehere. Ka tonoa kia kohikohi moni nga
iwi katoa o Niu Tirana mo taua mahi.
Kotahi te Maori ko Hirini te ingoa i hopukia i te
Mahia i mua tata ake nei, e tahu whare he tahae tona
hee. I whakaae ia ki tona hee, whakahokia ana e
waru pauna o nga moni i tahaetia e ia. Na nga
Maori i awhina i te Katipa ki te hopu i taua koroke.
I kawea ki te aroaro o tetahi Kai-whakawa I
kia puritia marire taua tangata, kia waru nga ra ka
whakahoki mai ai, he ngaro no te Kai-whakawa tu-
turu. No muri nei ka whakataua e te Kooti kia rua
tau moua i te whareherehere, kuru kohatu ai.
Ko te nupepa o Piitii e ki ana; —" Kua puta mai
ki a matou te rongo o te matenga o nga tangata e rua
te kau, o te taha ki runga hau. Tera tetahi waka i
rere atu i Roma Roma, e rua te kau ma rima nga
tangata Maori o Piiti i runga, e rere ana ki Totoia. I
1 te hurihanga o te heera ka paangia e te ropu hau,
ka whakahokia te heera ki runga ki te rewa, he ta-
huri anake. Ka pupuri nga tangata ki te waka, a tera
ano e ora, ko te matao anake pea te mate mo ratou
me i kore nga nanakia o te moana, ara nga mango.
Katahi ka rere mai aua taniwha ra ka kainga takita-
hitia nga tangata e pupuri aua ki te waka; ka pau
tetahi ka tikina mai tetahi, nawai a ka pau e rua te
kau ma toru, toe iho tokorua tonu. He wahine
tetahi o aua morehu, engari tera e mate taua wahine,
ko nga kiko katoa hoki o tetahi o ona waewae i pau
katoa.
" A great liberal policy" is Sir George Grey's
high sounding title for what in reality is a great
liberal muddle. All Sir George Grey thinks about
is his own importance, and how to usurp the func-
tions of every constitutional officer who stands
between him and supreme power. We laugh at the
deluded disciples of such a fanatic as Te Whiti, but
we might save our mirth for the more blind set of
political sheep who follow Sir George Grey blindly,
no matter how devious the path or useless the direc-
tion he chooses to lead them to —Whanganui Chron-
icle.
Mr Rees' name which was on the Waitemata roll
as a householder qualification for 1877, was struck
off, and does not appear on any other Auckland roll.
Unless qualified for some southern electorate, he
will be disqualified as a candidate at the elections.
Sir George Grey and Mr Sheehan have decided to
stand for the Thames.
It is reported on apparently good authority that
the Premier had a somewhat warm interview with the
Governor on Saturday last, his Excellency complain-
ing of the Ministry trying to pass the Representa-
tion, Electoral, and Chinese Bills as being contrary
to his stipulation about contested measures.
The Native members of both Houses have
formed an association to defend the Native plough-
men, and to test the legality of the confiscation on
the West Coast. The Hon. Mr Taiaroa is president
I and Wi Parata secretary, Dr. Buller has been
engaged to get up the case, and Mr Travers has been
retained as counsel. Subscriptions, are to be soli-
cited from every tribe in New Zealand.
A Native named Hirini, was lately arrested at
Mahia, charged with arson and burglary. The pri-
soner offered no opposition, and made a confession
of the crime, restoring £8, part of the money stolen.
I The Natives gave the constable every assistance.
Hirini was brought up before Mr. H. Duff, J. P. and
remanded for eight days. Subsequently he was
sentenced to two years imprisonment, with hard
labour.
The Fiji Times of a recent date states: —" News
has reached us from Windward of a sad accident
which has resulted in the death of upwards of twenty
I people. It appears that a canoe left Loma Loma
with 25 natives on board bound for Totoya. They
were going about when a sudden squall sent the sail
against the mast, capsizing the canoe. The unfortu-
nate passengers clung to the canoe, and might have
escaped with consequences no worse than those which
would have attended discomfort and exposure, but
for the horrible fact that the accident occurred in a
locality infested with sharks. These ravenous mon-
sters seized their victims one by one, devouring 23
out of the 25 unfortunates whose lives were thus
exposed to their rapacity. Out of the two who
escaped one is a woman; but her situation is very
critical, the whole of the flesh having been taken off
I one leg.
