TE WANANGA.
KOTAHI PUTANGA I TE WIKI.
HATAREI, 2 OKETOPA, l875.
I TEKA putanga o Te WANANGA, i korero matou i
etahi o nga mahi hoko whenua a te Pakeha o Haku
Pei ki nga Maori. A ko tenei, ka korero matou i te
mahi hoko whenua a Te Kawanatanga. Otiia he kore-
ro enei mo to hoko a Te Kawanatanga ki nga tangata
ke nua ata. Me atu korero o matou aua korero kia
tino marama ai. E kiia ana, ko nga mahi hoko, ara
ko nga korero ai a te hunga e mea an;i kia hoko whe-
nua i Nepia nei ; e korerotia ana aua kupu ki te iwi.
Koia nei etahi o nga tikanga, ki te mea ko Hare te
tangata i a ia tetahi whenua a Te Kawanatanga hei
haerenga Hipi maana, a he whenua utu tau taua whe-
nua a Hare. Ki te mea ka hiahia a Tame kia hokona
tetahi wahi o taua whenua maana, a mehemea he hoa
a Hare no te taha e paingia una e Te Kawanatanga,
penei ka korerotia ki a ia te kupu tono hoko mo taua
whenua e Tame, a ka tuhituhia ano hoki e ia e Hare
taana tono mo taua whenua, kia hokona e ia, kia raru
ai te tono a Hare, kia kore ai e riro te whenua i a
Hare. He mea hoki kia mahia taua whenua ki te
hoko makete (akihana.) Na reira i mahia, ai e etahi
Pakeha ki enei tikanga. Ara ki te hiahia ratou ki te
tahi whenua kia hokona e ratou, penei ka mea ratou
kia kaua ta ratou tono hoko e rangona e te iwi, kei
kawea taua whenua ki te hoko makete, ka tatari
ratou ki te wa e tata ai te kapi o te Tari hoko whenua,
a ka kawea e ratou nga moni utu mo ta ratou whenua
i minamina ai, a utua tonutia iho e ratou, kia rongo
rawa ake te iwi kua oti nga mahi, e kore e taea te
whakararu e tetahi tangata ana hiahia hoki ia ki taua
wahi ra ano. He pono ranei, he wawata kau ano ranei
pea na te tangata, i ki ai; e! e Whaakina ana nga
korero tono hoko a te iwi mo nga whenua Kawana-
tanga. Heoi ano ta matou he korero i te kupu e kiia
ana e te iwi mo taua tu hoko, e hara i a matou taua
whakaaro na te korero a te ngutu i rongo ai matou.
No te hokonga e nga Pakeha o Te Motu o Taraia i
Te Kawanatanga. Ka whakatete nga Pakeha a He-
nare Kata raua ka Keneroohi mo taua whenua. A ko
taua whakatete a raua kua Whakawakia, ara kua rapu
rapua e Te Paremata i Poneke. He mea ki e Te
Paremata kia rapu rapua aua tikanga o te hoko o taua
whenua e te Komiti a Te Paremata. A ko Te Kaati
te Hupereteni o Whakatu te Tumuaki o taua Komiti.
A no te kawenga o te korero a taua Komiti ki te
Paremata, koia nei nga kupu o te korero a Te Kaati
ki nga Mema o Te Paremata.
"Ko nga take i kitea i roto i nga kupu a nga kai korero
mo taua mea nei. Na Henare Hata, he Mema aia no te
Whare Ariki, a no Aperira o te tau 1873 aia i mea ai ki
te Tari o nga whenua o te Kawanatanga i Nepia, kia
hokona eia etahi eka kia ono kia whitu ranei mano. Ko taua
tono aana he mea ki eia i te rua o te taima o te Hatarei.
A ko taua ra ka kapi te Tari i te rua o te taima. I te
taenga atu o Henare Rata ki reira, e raruraru ana te
Komihana ki etahi mahi, na reira i kore ai e oti te mahi
tono a Henare Rata kia riro taua whenua i aia, a tae noa ki
nga meneti e whitu i tua o te ma o te taima. Ka kite a
Henare Rata i te Kai Tiaki moni o te Kawanatanga, ka
mea atu aia ki taua Komihana, kia kaua aia e haere i te
rua o te taima, no te mea ka roa pea, aia a Te Rata ki
taua mahi kia oti. Otiia kihai taua Komihana i rongo ki
te kupu a Henare Rata, a haere ana aia i te rua o te taima.
Ano ka oti te mahi a Henare Rata i te Tari hoko
whenua, haere ana aia ki te Komihana tiaki moni, a •
rokohanga atu kua kapi te Tari o taua Pakeha, ha reira
i takoto tarewa ai tana mahi hoko mo taua whenua. I
taua whare ano a Te Keneroohi, e tono whenua ana ano
inaana. A, no tana kitenga i a Henare Rata i whakaaro
ai aia, e, he hoko whenua pea ta Henare Rata. A no te
Ratapu a Te Keneroohi i tuhituhi ai ki te Kai Tiaki whenua
a te Kawanatanga, he ui taana, ko hea te whenua i tono
ai a Henare Rata. He mea whaaki e te Komihana ta
ingoa o te whenua kia Keneroohi. A no taua ra ranei, no
te Mane ranei, a Te Keneroohi i kite ai ano i te Komihana,
a mea atu ana te Komihana ki aia, ki ano i tino oti tika te
tono a Henare Rata mo te whenua mo te Motu a Taraia.
Na reira i mahia ai e Keneroohi taana tono ano mo taua
whenua i taua ra ano, i ta ata 6 te Mane. I wehi hoki te
Komihana kei mahia taua whenua e Henare Rata ki te
tikanga o te Ture, kia riro ai i aia taua whenua. A no te
mea he Apiha taua Komihana no te Kawanatanga, a no te
Kawanatanga ano hoki o te Porowini, a kihai aua Kawa-
natanga i awhina i aia kia kaha ai tana mahi, na reira
raua ko Te Keneroohi i korero ai, a mea atu ana a Kene-
rohi ki aia, ki te mea ka mahi whakawa a Henare Rata i
taua Komihana, penei roa Keneroohi e utu, ana he taua
Komihana. He mea tuhituhi aua kupu a Keneroohi, a kua
kite te Komiti i taua pukapuka. A no te Mano
i tae ai ano te pukapuka tono a Keneroohi mo te
whenua, mo te Motu a Taraia. A kiia ana e te
Komihana, ko te tono a Henare Rata mo taua
whenua ki ano i tino oti tika i te Hatarei, a, no te mea
kahore te kai tiaki moni i noho i te Tari i te Hatarei, hei
tango i nga moni a Henare Rata, koia aia, i mea ai ; no te
Mane ano aua moni i utua ai ki te Kai Tiaki moni. A na
reira aia i mea ai, ko to tono a Henare Rata, me te tono a
Te Keneroohi, he kotahi ano ra i tae u au» tono ki

te Tari, a me mahi hoko taua whenua ki te hoko
makete Akihana. A e ono e whitu marama, i tatari 1
ai nga Pakeha kia mahia taua whenua ki te
hoko makete: kihai i mahia e te Komihana, ahakoa
i kiia atu ai e Henare Rata ma ; kia hokona taua whe ua.
A i korero ano raua ki nga Pakeha na ratou nga whenua
e tata ana ki Te Motu o Taraia kia hokona hoki tera, i
Ingarangi hoki aua Pakeha. A katahi ra ano tana Komi-
hana ka mea kia hokona eia te whenua e tautohea nei a
Henare Rata ma. I whakahe a Henare Rata ki tana
mahi, a kiia ana tana kupu ki to Kooti Hupirimi
kia whakakahoretia taua hoko a te Komihana. A
no te roa o nga mahi tautohe, kawea ana taua mahi
kia whakawakia e te Kooti Hupirimi. A, na taua
Koot te kupu. I tika pu ano te mahi o Henare Rata mo
tana whenua mo Te Motu o Taraia, a me tuku tana whenu-
a ki aia. Otiia kihai taua Kooti i mea kia utua nga moni
a Henare Kata i pau noa i taua mahi. No muri noa iho
nei ka riro taua whenua ia Henare Hata. A ko tana kupu
e tono nei ki tenei Paremata. He mea naana, kia utua aia
mo nga marama e rua te kau, i puritia hetia ai ete Komihana
taua whenua. A i utu ano aia i nga moni E £3,500 ki te
Kawanatanga i Aperira 1873, a no muri rawa nei i riro ai
te whenua i aia. A i mea a Henare Rata me utu aia, no
te mea i kii te Kooti Hupirimi, ko te ra e riro mai ai te
whenua i aia ko Aperira 1873. Otiia kihai i riro mai i
aia, no muri rawa nei i homai ai, koia aia i kii ai i he te
mahi, a te Kawanatanga ki aia, a me utu aia mo te roa o
ana moni i takoto kau ai. Ka mea a Te Kaati, e ki ana
te Komiti, he tika te tono utu a Henare Rata. A i mea
a Te Kaati me penei te utu e tukua kia Henare Rata, me
utu aia ki te waru paiheneti mo ana moni, mo nga mara-
ma e rua tekau, i takoto ai i roto i te Tari o te Porowini.
Me utu ano hoki nga moni a Henare Rata i pau i te
whakawa. I mea a Te Kaati, mei mohio te Kooti Hupi-
rimi ki nga tikanga katoa o taua mahi, penei kua mea
taua Kooti me utu enei moni kia Henare Rate. Kihai
hoki taua Kooti i kite i te pukapuka a Te Keneroohi ki te
Komihana. Otiia kua tino mea te Komiti me utu a
Henare Rata. A ko nga moni o te waru paiheneti me te
utu mo te whakawa. Ko aua moni ana huihuia
£616 13s. 4d. Ma te Paremata e whakaae enei moni kia
utua, Me tono aua moni e te Paremata kia tuhituhia e
Te Kawana ki roto ki nga moni e whakaaetia ana e te
Paramata ia tau, ia tau, o te turanga o nga Paremata
katoa, hei uta nao nga mahi ki te iwi. Kahore aana hiahia a
Te Kaati kia tino korero aia i nga katoa katoa. Otiia e penei
tana kupu. I ki te kupu a te Komiti, kahore i tino mara-
ma te mahi o nga whenua i te takiwa ki Haku Pei. I te
takiwa i tono ai a Te Keneroohi ki a whaakina e Te
Komihana ki aia te ingoa o te whenua i tono aia a Henare
Rata kia hokona eia. A i mohio ano taua Komihana i te
take a Te Keneroohi i ui ai i taua patai. He mea
hoki na Te Keneroohi, kia puta he kupu aana, kia tono ano
hoki aia i taua whenua maana, koia aia a Te Kaati i mea
ai kihai i tika kia whaakina te whenua a Henare Rata i
tono ai kia Te Keneroohi, i te wa o te Tari hoko whenua e
kapi ana. Mei waiho mo a Te Mane ka ui ai a Te Keneroohi
penei, e tika ano te tono a Te Keneroohi kia kite aia i nga
pukapuka a Henare Rata i tuku ai ki te Tari hoko Whenu-
a, a kua tika te korero whaaki a taua Komihana kia Te
Keneroohi i taua ra. Otiia ki ta Te Keneroohi i rapu ai, kihai
i tika kia tatari aia mo te mane. 1 mea a Te Kaati ki ta-
ana whakaaro i he te mahi o taua Komihana kia tango
aia i te pukapuka a Te Keneroohi. No reira aia a Te Kaati
i mea ai, e he ana te whakahaere o te mahi hoko o nga
whenua Kawanatanga o Haku Pei. A ko te whakaaro a
te Komiti i mea. ko aua moni £616, me utu kia Henare
Bate i nga moni utu whenua o te Porowini o Haku Pei.
Te take, no te mea ko te £3,500, moni a Henare Rata, i
taua Kawanatanga e pupuri ana i nga marama e rua te
kau. A i utu moni ano hoki a Te Keneroohi. A ko nua
moni i tae ki te rima paiheneti, i nga ra i hokona ai aua
moni. Na reira Te Komiti i mea ai ko nga paiheneti o
taua £7000, tae pea ki te £616, e kiia nei e Te Komiti
kia utua kia Henare Rata. Otiia ko taua mahi he mahi, i ma-
Ilia e te Porowiri o Haku Pei. A ki te mea ka mahi whakawa
i nga Porowini, ma te Porowini ano e utu aua mahi whakawa
A no te mea kua tae he moni ki te kai tiaki moni o Haku
Pei ; na reira i kiia ai, ma Haku Pei ano e utu taua £616
A i mea a Te Kaati, ki tana whakaaro, kaua taua tono e
whakakahoretia e Te Paremata. A me whakaae te tono a
Te Komiti."
Koia nei nga kupu o te pukapuka a Te Keneroohi ki-
a Te Hiiri :—" Maku e utu nga moni katoa, ana
whakawakia koe e Henare Rata, ki te mea ia, e pai
ana koe kia riro atu i a koe ano hoki taku pukapuka
tono (mo te whenua mo Te Mota o Taraia ) mo te whe-
nua i tono ai a Henare Rata i te Hatarei."
IN a previous issue our readers were given an illus-
tration how some land transactions between Natives
and Europeans were conducted in the Province of
Hawke's Bay. In the present one they will be shown
how transactions relating to the purchase of lands are
managed by the authorities when they concern those
who are outside of " the ring." A plain narration of
facts will best subserve the purpose in view, and to
render these facts as significant as possible, it will be
wise to identify each individual actor with the role he
has played. It must be borne in mind that an impres-
sion has long been prevalent in the minds of many
residents, that in the Province of Hawke's Bay, know-
ledge obtained in the land office leaks out in an ir-
regular manner. Thus, if A. held a piece of land for
pastoral purposes from the Crown which B. was de-
sirous of purchasing, if A. happened to be a friend or
a confere of the dominant party, he would obtain pos-
session of the knowledge of B. making an application
to purchase in time to put in a simultaneous applica-
tion, and to frustrate the purpose of A's purchase at
the upset price, by causing the land to be put up to»
auction. Hence the custom arose, that if most gen-
tlemen wished to purchase a block of land they would
put in their applications, and pay their purchase money
a few minutes before the time of the office closing:, to
preclude any competition by the acquisition of illicit
knowledge. It is not for us to say whether such an
impression was founded on actual facts or otherwise ;
we only state the existence of the conviction and the
habit. A dispute took place on the purchase of the
Motuotaraia lands between the Hon. EL R. Russell,
Mr. Kinross, and the Commissioner of Crown Lands,
which has been investigated by the Parliament in
Wellington. A Committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the matter, of which Mr. O. Curtis, the Super-
intendent of Nelson was appointed Chairman, who,
on the delivery of the report, made the following
statement:—
" The facts which were brought out in evidence were
shortly these : Mr. Russell, a member of the Legislative
Council, made application in the mouth of April, 1873, at
the Crown Lands Office in Napier, for six or seven thousand
acres of land. He made the application about ten minutes
before two o'clock on Saturday, on which day the office
closed at two o'clock. The Commissioner happened to be
engaged in taking some other application at the moment,
and was not able to attend to Mr. Russell for some few
minutes. The consequence was that the application was
not fully completed until seven minutes after the clock
struck the hour of two. Mr. Russell in the meantime,
finding that it might be somewhat late, saw the Receiver
of Land Revenue, and asked him not to leave the office

Te Wananga.
immediately at two o'clock, as he (Mr. Russell) was afraid
he might be delayed some minutes afterwards. The Re-
ceiver of Land Revenue, however, declined to wait beyond
the regular official hour of two o'clock, and closed his
office at that tune. When Mr. Russell's business with the
Commissioner was concluded he took the " receive order "
and went to pay the purchase-money to the Receiver of
Laud Revenue. The Receiver's office was closed and
therefore the transaction could not be completed in the
usual way. A Mr Kinross happened to be in an adjoining
office at the time, making some application for land ou
his own account. He saw Mr. Russell, and suspected that
that gentleman was probably applying for certain land
which he was himself anxious to obtain. Mr. Kinross on
Sunday wrote to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, asking
him what land it was that Mr. Russell applied for. The
Commissioner replied, and specified the land for which
Mr. Russell had applied. Mr. Kinross on the same flav-
or on the Monday, saw the Commissioner, who told him
that he considered the application of Mr. Russell was not
completed, and he consequently put in a counter applica-
tion for the land on Monday morning. The Commissioner
was afraid that Mr. Russell would take legal proceedings
to secure the land to himself. Seeing the difficulty in
which the Commissioner of Crown Lands was placed be-
tween the General Government and Provincial Govern-
ment, neither of whom seemed disposed to maintain him
in hia official action, a conversation took place between
him and Mr. Kinross, and it was agreed between them
that Mr. Kinross should give him a guarantee against the
cost of any proceedings Mr. Russell might take. That
guarantee was given in writing, and was placed before
the Committee. On the Monday, Mr. Kinross put in an
application for the same land. The Commissioner decided
that Mr. Russell's application was not legally completed
on the Saturday ; that, in consequence of the absence of
the Receiver of Land Revenue, the money was only paid
on Monday ; that the two applications were placed on the
same footing as applications simultaneously made, neither
of which could be granted, and that the laud should be
put up to public auction. After a delay of some six or
Seven months, during which time the Commissioner ab-
stained from putting the land up to public auction, because
the parties requested him to do so while they were entering
into some negotiations with the owner of the remainder
of the land, who resided in England, he decided to put up
the land to auction. Mr Russell applied for an in junction
to restrain him from selling it. Some further legal pro-
ceedings took place. The result was that a special case
was submitted to the Supreme Court of Appeal, which
decided that Mr. Russell's application was legally com-
pleted on the Saturday, and that he was entitled to possesion
of the land. They did not however give Mr. Russell costs,
on the ground that the Commissioner was acting in his
official capacity, and conscientiously. Subsequently to
Mr. Russell obtaining possession of the land, he petitioned
this House for compensation for being kept out of the
land for a period of twenty months. He was kept out of
the land and his money, for he paid a sum of £3,500 into
the Land Office in the month of April, 1873, but he did
not get possession of the land for twenty months after-
wards. He therefore claimed compensation on the ground
that the Supreme Court of Appeal had decided that he
was entitled to the laud iu April, 1873, but he did not get
possession of the land for twenty mouths afterwards. He
therefore claimed compensation on the ground that the
Supreme Court of Appeal had decided that he was entitled
to the laud iu April, 1873, when he made the application,
and that, therefore, he had been wrongly dealt with. The
Committee were of opinion that Mr. Russell's claim was
certainly fully substantiated, and they proposed to the
House that he should have compensation in this shape :
Interest at the rate of 8 per cent for twenty months while
his money was lying idle in the office of the Provincial
Government, and also the costs of the suit. He (Mr.
Curtis) should state that, while the Supreme Court of
Appeal would not give costs against the Commissioner,
they were not aware of the whole circumstances of the
case. In the special case stated to the Supreme Court of
Appeal, there was no mention of the letter of guarantee
given by Mr. Kinross to the Commissioner of Crown
Lands, otherwise it was very possible the decision of the
Supreme Court of Appeal upon that point would have been
different. At all events, the Committee came to the con-
clusion that Mr. Russell was decidedly entitled to receive
the amount of the money he had expended in legal pro-
ceedings, and the interest on the money paid into the
Laud Office. Those two sums together came to the sum of
£616 13s. 4d., which he now asked the House to request
His Excellency to put upon the Supplementary Estimates.
He did not wish to go at any length into the question
raised in the first paragraph of the report of the Waste
Lauds Committee. They reported that the state of things
in connection with the administration of the waste lands
in Hawke's Bay appeared to them to be highly unsatis-
factory. When the Commissioner was applied to by Mr.
Kinross to know what land Mr. Russell had applied for,
deeming the application incomplete, and knowing that
the reason the information was asked was to enable Mr.
Kinross to put in a counter application, it appeared to him
(Mr. Curtis), that that officer was not justified in giving
such information out of office hours. On the Monday
morning, Mr. Kinross would have been at liberty to inspect
the official records, and see the nature of the application
put in by Mr. Russell. The Commissioner then could have
told him all about it. That, of course, did not answer Mr.
Kinross's purpose. He thought the Commissioner was
very much to blame in accepting a guarantee from Mr.
Kinross, and, in fact, espousing his cause, or, at all events,
supporting his view of the question. On those two points,
he thought, there was something unsatisfactory in the
administration of the Crown lands of Hawke's Bay. The
Committee were of opinion, and embodied that opinion in
their report, that the payment of this £616 should be
charged against the land revenue of the Province of
Hawke's Bay ; and one very good reason for that was that
the £3,500, having been paid by Mr. Russell, was in the
possession of the Provincial Government for a longtime—
for some twenty months. There was also a similar sum
paid by the other applicant, so that they had some £7,000
in their possession for twenty mouths, for which they re-
ceived 5 per cent, interest. That amount alone should would
very nearly reach the £616 which the Committee proposed
be given as compensation to Mr. Russell. But, quite apart
from that, the transaction was one which exclusively be-
longed to Hawke's Bay, the Government of which received
the money for the land ; and it was the custom in all pro-
vinces, when legal proceedings accrued, that the costs
should bo borne by the revenues of the Province. The
Province of Hawke's Bay had benefited to a certain extent
in the shape of interest from those deposits, which it was
proved were wrongly rettained, and therefore the provincial
revenue of Hawke's Bay was a proper fund against which
the sum of £616 should be charged. He hoped the House
would have no objection to pass the motion, and thus
carry out the recommendations made by the Waste Lands
Committee."
The words of the guarantee given by Mr. Kinross
to Mr. Sealy, were to this effect:—" I guarantee you
from all costs and expenses incurred through Mr.
Russell's application, if you will receive an application
for the same land, which Mr. Russell applied for on
the Saturday."

tetahi whakawa ano mo taua mea i te mea hoki, kihai
taua whakawa i tika ki taana titiro. He nui nga Maori
i reira o whitu pea te kau, i haere kia kite i taua whakawa.
The case of Mete Kingi, of Whanganui, against the toll
Collector of the bridge for false imprisonment was decided
in his favor, Mr. Davis being fined £10, and the costs of
the suit. The Solicitor for the defence gave notice of
appeal against the decision. Some seventy Natives were
present during the hearing.
E ki ana te Kai tuhituhi korero o Te Wairoa ki te
Haku Pei Herara. "He nui te mate turoro o nga Maori o
konei. He Mitara, me te tini noa atu o te mate. A ka-
nui ta ratou whakahawea ki nga Takuta Pakeha, hei
rongoa ia ratou. He aha ra te Maori te pera ai me te Iwi
i Whiti, i rapurapu ratou i nga kai mahi rongoa tino mohio.
He iwi mohio ano te Maori, a ko tenei mea ko te mate
turoro ka mahi kuare ai ratou. '
The Wairoa correspondent of the " Hawke's Bay Herald"
says there is a " great mortality among the Maoris here-
about lately ; they apparently have measles and a variety
of cutaneous disorders, but they appear to disdain Euro-
pean assistance." Will not our readers take a lesson from
the Fijians, and obtain the best medical advice they can ?
They will show little of their reputed sagacity if they fail
ia «o doing.

We have received a letter from Ngawiki Hauriki, of
Te Aute, notifying the death of Atareta Tetapu, dated the
19th of September. It was sent, although directed to our
office, to Wairoa, where it reached on the 19th instant,
instant, and resent to us on the 27th, with the fol-
lowing notice, written in red ink on the envelope :—" This
letter was opened by a Maori at Wairoa." The letter had
no right to be sent to Wairoa but we should much like to
know the name of the Native at Wairoa who is sufficiently
interested in our business to open our letters. Did we
possess the knowledge of the culprits' name, we would
publish it as a punishment for his impertinent curiosity.
E mea ana te kai tuhituhi korero atu ki te Herara o
Whanganui, koia nei ana kupu. "He mea ui o matou, a
e korerotia ana, ka taiepatia e nga Maori te whenua, e tata
ana, a tae noa ki te Pereti i Orua, ma reira e arai te ara
atu ki Piritanga, e tae ai te kaata ki to tino ara nui.
He mea ui o au ki nga Maori o Awahuri, a i rongo ahau,
kua tino kiia taua wahi kia taiepatia, no te mea kihai i
pono nga kupu i kiia ki taua iwi. E kiia, ana na Te
Minita Maori ranei, na tetahi ranei o ana hoa i kii kia
mahia he ara atu ano i Te Awahuri, atae noa Ui Piritanga.
A ka rua tau o muri mai o taua kupu i kiia ai, a ki ano i

e Taramana. A i timataria ano hoki taua ara. A he aha
ranei te take i kore ai e mahia taua ara kia tae ki te
otinga. He tino pai te whakaaro a nga Maori, no te mea,
kihai ratou i kaiponu i ta ratou whenua, he mea tuku hei

Maori i te mahinga ki te kaata te takatakahi. He mea

Awahuri. Ara kia puta ai te kupu a Te Kawanatanga
kia mahia taua ara, kei roa te pouri o te ngakau, a hoha
noa ake te mahi.
The own correspondent of the " Whanganui Herald"
writes in this manner respecting the Oroua trouble :—" On
enquiry we learned that the Maoris intend to enclose the
land up to the Oroua bridge with a substantial fence, and
thereby shut off the only outlet from Feilding, by which
vehicles can be got upon the main road. On enquiry into
this matter of the fencing, from some of the Native chiefs
at Awahuri, I found that the tribe bad determined to
prevent further trespass upon their property by those en-
gaged in traffic to and from Feilding, as faith had
not been kept with them. The Native Minister, or some .
one on his part promised that a road should be made from
the Awahuri pa direct to Feilding. This promise was
made more than two years since, and how has it been ful
tiled? The line of road was laid out by Mr. T. M. Drum-
mond, surveyor, the levels put in, and the work com-
menced ; but from some unexplained cause, they ceased
to be carried out, after two small contracts had been com-
pleted, or rather, partly finished. The Natives, on the
contrary, did their part nobly, and throw open their laud
for the ingress and egress of the public, who repaid their
generosity by destroying hundreds of acres of pasture
with wheel tracks. I must now ask your good offices on
behalf of this community, and also on that of our good
neighbors the Awahuri Natives, so that the Government
may be urged to take immediate steps to have this much
needed road completed at once, or we must put over the
entrance to the township, ' All hope abondon, ye who
enter here.'"

We are glad to learn from a reliable authority (says !
the " Waikato Times," that the Kingites are displaying
most unusual activity in bringing down produce for the
market. We are informed that the quantity brought in
during the last fortnight alone exceeds that of all last
season. The Natives are carefully saving the proceeds of
their sales for the purchase of agricultural implements,
and appear to meditate agricultural operations on a scale
of considerable magnitude, hop culture being one of the
matters to which they are devoting special attention. We
trust the Waikato is rapidly approaching a state of things
similar to that which existed prior to the war, when the
Natives cultivated extensive crops, and fleets of produce-
laden canoes periodically visited Auckland, bringing back
in exchange clothing, tools, and other necessaries.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
SIR.—Will you insert the following in the WANANGA.
in Maori and English. We left Omahu on the 17th of August
for Whanganui. The weather was bad. We had a pig to
tu travel in. Tho first flay we got to Kaikanohi, the following
to Tahoraiti, the next we arrived at Palmerston ; and the
day after at Whanganui. For the first time we have seen how
short is the distance between Omahu and Whanganui. Why
should \\ve not express our wonder at the work of our elder
people—in knowledge—the European, who are now making
good and straight roads, roads for us. The distance we
travelled in these days was about 160 miles. We stayed at
Whanganui two weeks, and on the 7th of September returned,
and were again at Omahu. Iu the days of our an-
cestors this road was very long, it took a long time to go over
it, but now it is short, and we wish to express our gratification
of the fact. In respect to the railway, which we hope may
soon go to and fro over all the land ; I utter this proverb in
respect to this canoe (the railway train). "It is the fleet god
of the forest?" It gives one jump from Napier' to Paki Paki,
and in one leap, it is back again to Napier.

Omahu, September 27, l875.
We are glad that Tiopira has looked at the roads and the
railways in the light he has. How can any sensible land-
owner look at them in any other 1 A road or a railway run-
ning through or close to a block of land doubles and trebles
its value. Railways are the canoes which will bring gold to
all the Maori land-owners in this island. What use is the
produce grown for sale if there are no roads to bring it to the
market? Tiopira should use his experience to enlighten
others. Telegraphic communication i» now as great a neces-
sity of the age as railroads.

Friend,—Salutations to you. I herewith send you informa-
tion for your paper. Do not think lightly of it. But give it
a place in the WANANGA, go that the relations of this
woman whose death I record may see it. I send you
the notice of the death of four children, and three adults.
My wife Betty Haimona died on the 4th of November, 1874.
Great is my sorrow at her departing from me, and her relatives
who were living near us. She was a woman of rank, of the
Ngaitahu tribe. I did not know, or had not any warning of
the day when she would depart. But she did on a previous
day, give me certain instructions. She was not a sickly
person, though she had been afflicted for the last six years.
but God lengthened out her days. Suffice for that, this is my
song for her :—
Descend oh son to thy cave,
While here I weep my tears,
Like streams from mine eyes.
Also Another song—
Sing, O sing the song
To the beloved. O where
Is the flint that I may cut my self.
There are also the following who have died in the year 1875 :
—Kapene o Ngatiawa, who died on the 12th January, l875,
and Hariata Arapata, on the 12th May, aged 12 years ; Uruti
Inia, a child 6 months old, who died on the 12th June ; Horo-
mona Arapata, on the 11th July, a child ; also Mere Henere, a
child, who died on the 1st of August; and Arapata Horau,
an old man about 56 years of age, died on the 21st of August.

LETTER 3.—PART 2.

\_f ••\_\_•••«—M
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
SIR,—I have shown in my last letters how the Maori occu-
pied this country in trapping, snaring, and catching birds. Î
will now show how he occupied other parts of the laud by
cultivations. The oral traditions say the Maori brought the
kumara with him to New Zealand, and being a delicate plant
required great care iu ita cultivation, especially in the early
stage oi growth. The flat alluvial land on the banks of rivers
were selected as the most suitable for this plant, and to secure
it from the cold sea, or frost air, the Maori made a screen.
with the growing flax plant, or manuka bushes, set up in lines
on the windward side of the growing crop. The ceremonies
connected with the planting and taking up of this crop, were
many, and demanded certain penalties from anyone who
might transg-ess the rules contained in those ceremonies.
Some days previous to, and all the time of setting this crop.
the people o£ the tribe who were setting the kumara, or taking
it up, were strictly prohibited from travelling or voyaging.
Nor were people of other tribes or districts allowed to pass up
or down a river. Or in traveling on land, on the sea side of a
settlement, while the kumara crop 'was being planted or taken
up. The Taro was also much cultivated in olden times, and the
localities selected for this plant was a swampy, or wet gravely
soil. If a swamp was selected, this was drained, and pits of
two feet by two feet, and about three feet deep were dug.
These were each abaut four feet from each other, and into
these pits was gravel put. In these the Taro was planted.
If the locality selected was not of a gravely nature, the people
of the tribe acted in a body, and iu maori baskets carried
gravel from long distances oa their backs for the use required.
The Uhikaho (or yam), was cultivated like the kumara, but
in most instances the locality selected was the slope of a hill
facing the north-cast. On this were made long terraces, in
which the yam were set. In most instances this plant was
cultivated oa the slope of the hill, on which the ancient Maori
Pa was built. The Hue (a calabash), was cultivated in the
rich soil on the banks of the small streams, and was carefully
kept, sheltered by the scrub of the surrounding country, being
kept from destruction. The Maiori "Turnip (Nani, or Keha),
was cultivated on the borders of the forest. The bush or
forest was cleared by fire, and the seed thrown ou the land
after the first heavy rain subsequent to the fire. This plant
was not unlike the sweed turnip, and just before the plant
came into flower, it was taken up and dried in the son, and

kept for winter use. I have not seen any of this plant for the
last thirty years. The Maori also used the berry of the Karaka,
a tree which grows in groves on rich black soil in the sheltered
rallies of the interior. These groves had each a distinct name
given to them by the tribe who owned them, and to gather
the fruit was death to any intruding people of other tribes.
This tree it subject to a blight, or a moss collects on the trunk
which prevents its bearing fruit. This the Maori carefully
kept from growing on the tree, so that at certain times of the
year, the men of the tribe had their set time to clean these
trees from moss. The female part of the tribe were not al-
lowed to do any work in connexion with the karaka tree or
its berry. The Hinau (a forest tree) berry, was also used by
the Maori. The fruit is like a light blue plum, and about the
size of a cherry, or half an inch in diameter ; it has a very
hard stone, covered by a blue flowery pulp. These berries are
knocked off the trees by the men with switch sticks, and are
collected by the women and children. The Maori by certain
sifting and cooking make a kind of bread of this, which is said
to be very nutritious, and half a pound of it will feed one
person for two days. The Hinau tree is found on the ridges of
the forest land, and each tribe hart its name for the localities,
and trees in their own district. The Koroi (white pine), Rimu
(red pine), and Matai berry was eaten by the Maori. These
trees have an abundant crop every seven years, and the fruit
season was looked forward to by the Maori as a great treat.
The fruit liked most of the various sorts was the Wairarana,
the best kind of koroi berry. The koroi has many and various
names given to it by the Maori, from the appearance, taste,
and size of the fruit. The Wairarapa being that thought most
of. Such trees were distinguished from the rest by a name
given to each tree of that kind. A Maori would travel for
miles in the forest to obtain this berry, and to take this fruit
was followed by (death to the thief.
In these letters I merely give the grounds on which the
Maori takes his stand point, and the origin of all his claims
to land. I am forced to pass over the ceremonies, incanta-
tions, and rights connected with the procuring of these various
sorts of food.

Tenei tetahi korero purakau, hei titiro ma te Iwi, ma kou-

Otiia he tikanga ano i mea ai te Maori ma ratou ano ta

A PLAIN UNVARNISHED TALE.
It came to pass that when the people were allowed to depart
from the tower of Babel, many of them went to a far off land
which stood in the middle of a great water, and this water
was called the Pacific Ocean, and the land was called New
And these people were rude, and did know nothing of the
arts which the Romans and the Egyptians did ; and the color
of their skin was brown, and they were called Maoris
And at this time there were no white people in this land.
But after many generations there came a man called Cook
who was the captain of a great ship, and he brought with him,
many white men. And Io ! he departed, and told the white
men iu other countries of the beautiful land he had found, and
they came there in ships.
And after many days there were a great number or them
there, and the Maoris were the owners of the land.

Te Wananga.
And the white men said, " let us get this land for ourselves,
for these Maoris want it not." Bat the Maoris did want it,
and they fought many battles with the white men. But at .
length there was peace in the land, and there waa a Governor
appointed to govern the people, and he had great chiefs with
him, who advised him.
And these chiefs were men of great cunning ; and they were
leagued together with a set of men who lived at a place
called Akarana, and who were called the "Ring." And this
Ring bought great pieces of land from the Maoris for copper,
and sold again to the Governor's chiefs for gold and silver.
And the chiefs bought it so that the Ring might become rich,
and they did so. And the people were wrath because the
Ring were allowed to do these things.
And there were two places in Akarana, which were called
Peke and Cambridge, and between these places there was a
large block of land of four hundred thousand acres. And the
Ring wanted this land because they knew they would make
great profits by selling it to the chiefs of the Governor.
And it happened that about this time there lived two men
who were called Sun and Straw, and they were men who
measured the ground for money, with which they bought
bread.
And Sun began to talk to the Maoris, and said, "You do
not want this land. I will sell it for you unto the white men."
He did this because he and Straw wanted to get gold where-
with to buy bread.
And Straw and Sun gathered together men to the number
of six, and said unto them. "We shall get you this land for
little money, but you must give us a share in it."
And five of these men belonged to the King, but the sixth
was only their slave. He was called the Barber, for in a
Sandy-place be had been wont to shave the people, and had
also got his bread by making clothes, and whipping horses to
make them run round in a circle. And these six men found
one thousand and six hundred, pounds wherewith to buy the
land, and they bought it.
And about this time the people of Akarana were wrath, be-
cause the ring had been allowed to get sixty and four thousand
acres of very fine land, to which they had no more right than
other men, and the chiefs of the Governor thought it right, as
the people were wrath, to call out against this, and they did
so.
And the Chiefs arose and said to the six men, yon will have
to give up these four hundred thousand acres unto us—we
want it for the good of the multitude. And the six men said.
we will give it unto you. but they had only given one thousand '
and six hundred pounds.
And they further said, we must get a per centage on this
land, and the man (the Barber), stopped there while the others
went away.
And the Chiefs of the Governor pave the six thousand
pounds in gold to the men after five of them had set their
names unto what was called a transfer, but the sixth man
(the Barber), whose sharpness resembles the sharpness of a
razor, had not signed his name.
And he said he would not write his name upon the paper
unless he was made a great officer by the chiefs. And the
Rlng said, he must be a great officer, and immediately he was
one. I
And they all did well except Sun and Straw, who were dis-
appointed, for they got nothing. This is the way that the !
Barber became great. Selah.—Post.
