KOTAHI PUTANGA I TE WIKI.
HATAREI, 9 OKETOPA, 1875.
I NGA ra ki ano enei korero i kitea e nga Maori, kua
rere mai te Piriniha o Wera, i te kainga o ana tupuna,
o te whenua i kiia ona Kingi. "He Kingi nui rawa
o ratou mana i ta te whakaaro e mohio ai." A ka ahu
tana haere ki Inia. E ono pea marama ona e noho ai
i reira. A ko nga utu mo tana haere, ara, ko nga
moni e pau £150,000, (kotahi rau e rima tekau mano,)
pauna. Ko nga iwi e kiia ana e ratou, e mana ana nga
Ture o Ingarangi i a ratou. E rua rau e iwa tekau
miriona, (29,000,000,) Ki te mea ka wehea nga
tangata o te ao nei, kia wha puninga, penei kotahi o
aua puni e kiia ana na Ingarangi aua tangata. A e
rua rau miriona (200,000,000,) o aua tangata e noho
ana i Inia. E hara tenei haere a te Piriniha o Wera i
te haere noa, he tikanga to taua haere. He whaka-
mana i nga tikanga Kingi. Ahakoa, haere etahi atu
o nga tamariki Kingi i taua haere, he haere noa ta
ratou, ko tenei haere a te Piriniha o Wera, he haere
taana, no te mea koia hoki te Kingi mo Ingarangi a
nga ra e mate ai a Kuini Wikitoria. He take nui te
tikanga i haere ai aia ki Inia. I nga tau o mua, i
kiia e nga Kingi kia nui he iwi ma ratou, a ko tenei
kua mea te whakaaro kia noho nga iwi i nga whenua
mamao atu i Ingarangi, a kia tupu kaha aua iwi, ka
tuku ai aua iwi kia mahi ratou i nga Ture e noho pai
ai, e tupu ai te ora ma ratou. A ko tenei, he iwi
kotahi te Pakeha, e whakatupu ana i te ora, i te noho
pai, i te atawhai ki te iwi, koia i kiia ai, no Ingarangi
nga iwi i tino noho marire i te ao nei. Whaihoki, kia
mau te mahi i nga tikanga i tupu nui ai aua iwi, a kia
mau tonu te tohu i te tangata, ki te kai, ki te ora, ki
te atawhai. A koia ra te take i haere ai te Piriniha
o Wera ki Inia. He mea kia kite te Iwi o reira i aia,
a kia mau ai te Ture aroha ki nga iwi o reira, hei tau-
ira ma te ao katoa, hei titiro ma tena iwi, ma tena iwi,
kia kore ai he kino, he mate, he kai kore. A i kiia
ano i etahi wa, kia kite Te Piriniha o Wera i Inia, ka
haere mai ai kia kite i nga i Iwi o enei Motu. Otiia
e kore pea aia e tae mai ki konei i tenei haerenga ona,
engari pea, hei a tetahi haerenga mai, ka tae mai ai ki
konei. A ki te mea ka ora tonu aia, tena aia e umeretia
e nga Iwi o konei ana haere mai kia kite ia tatou. A
e tino pai nga Rangatira Maori ana haere mai aia kia
kite pu tatou i aia. He mea enei korero i tuhi tuhia
ai, kia mohio ai nga Maori ki nga tikanga o Ingarangi
kia tatou, no te mea no Ingarangi hoki to tatou mana
e mau nei tatou, ia tatou e noho nei i enei whenua a
tatou.
ERE the following will be iu our readers hands His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the heir apparent
to an Empire greater than that of which "we know
anything " will have left the shores of Great Britain to
visit the possessions of the British Crown in the
Indian Continent. His visit will perhaps be of about
six months duration, entailing a cost to the Home
and Indian Governments of some £150,000. Great
Britain with her colonies and dependencies claims the
allegiance of 290,000,000 souls, nearly a fourth of the
population of the globe, of which vast number
.200,000,000 reside in her East Indian possessions.
It must be borne in mind that this visit is
not of an ordinary, but of a political nature.
The visit of other members of the Royal
Family, save Her who graciously and wisely
occupies the highest place in the realm, could not
have under any circumstances an equal significance as
that of the Heir apparent; but when it is remembered
that the visit is of a premeditated nature, having a
definite purpose to achieve, its importance cannot be
over-estimated. Within the last twenty years, it had
been the avowed policy of the Imperial Parliament to
avoid the acquisition of fresh territory, to weaken the
bonds which attached the Mother country to her
colonies and dependencies, to plant as it were sturdy
children in the far-off portions of the globe, protect
them until they arrived to manhood and years of dis-
cretion, and then allow them to run and prosper alone.
A different policy however has lately been inaugurated,
and the aim of the rulers of less than one fifth of the
population of the earth has been to consolidate the
Empire, " greater than any historical empire" of the
past, to preserve its unity, maintain its dignity, and
enhance its strength. With this • object in view, the
Prince of Wales goes to India. A well informed paper
published in London says:—"Its unity would be
worth maintaining for the mere sake of the lustre and
prestige which it must impart to every country and
community which will belong to it, but the peace and
security which it must insure them, if it be properly
organized, will be a blessing of incalculable value to
them all." With this object in view, it was at one time
considered probable His Royal Highness would, after
travelling through our Indian possessions, have ex-
tended his journey to Australia and New Zealand,
but this tour will probably be postponed for another
year, our African territories and peoples most probably •
occupying His attention on His homeward route.
Should His life however be preserved, at not a remote
date Australasia will welcome him to her shores, and
the chiefs of this island have the honor of being pre-
sented to the Heir to that Empire over the boundaries
of which the sun ever shines. These remarks have
been penned with the hope of our Native readers un-
derstanding the line of policy the Imperial authorities
have adopted, and of showing them of how mighty a
confederation they form a part.
I NGA ra i korerotia ai te Pitihana a te 14 5 Maori o
Hauraki, e Te Paremata i te 15 o Hepetema. Ko nga
Mema ko Karaitiana Takamoana, ko Wi Katene, ko
Taiaroa, me etahi Mema i korero. Koia nei a ratou
kupu
"Ka mea a KARAITIANA TAKAMOANA.
Kia korero aia i ana korero mo nga take e rua i roto i
taua Pitihana. Ko te hoko whenua. Ko te korero
mo nga Mema ma nga Maori ki te Paremata. E ki
ana aia, ko te hoko whenua i penei me nga Porowini.
I mua ko Kawana anake nana te tikanga ki te Pareina-

ta, a muri iho ko nga Porowini. A i pera ano hoki te
whenua. Ko Te Kawanatanga, anake maana e hoko
te whenua. A muri iho, ka tu te Ture a tenei Pare-
mata, kia hoko ano hoki te tini o te Iwi Pakeha i te
whenua. I hoko ai te Pakeha, he mea na ratou kia
riro nga whenua a te Maori ia ratou, koia ra te take o
o taua kupu i kii ai mo nga Porowini, i te korerotanga
kia whakakahoretia, nga Porowini, koia ra tana mea
i tau ai tana kupu mo nga Porowini ki nga Maori.
Na ko tenei, ko te kupu mo nga Mema mo nga Maori
ki te Paremata nei. Ma tenei Paremata, tena e titiro.
A me mahi tonu e ratou tana whakaaro, kaua e waiho
ma te Minita ki te taha Maori anake ano e naahi taua
mea. E ngari ma te Paremata katoa nei e mahi, a
ma te Paremata nei e mea he Ture mo taua tikanga.
Ki te mea e kore e kiia kia nui ake he Mema Maori
ki te Paremata nei, heoi ra, me mutu te noho o te
Mema Maori i tenei Paremata. ' Ma te Paremata nei
e mahi nga whakaaro, a ma ratou e rapu he tikanga e
nui ai he Mema Maori mo tenei Paremata. Kaua e
waiho ma te Minita Maori anake. He hiahia tona
kia korero nga Mema katoa o te Paremata nei, kia
aia rongo ia i a ratou whakaaro, mehemea e pai ana ra-
tou kia noho nga Mema Maori i te Paremata nei. A
tetahi, kia rongo atu a ia i te whakaaro o te Paremata
nei, mehemea ka whakaitia rawatia ranei e ratou nga
Mema Maori mo te. Paremata nei. Kana enei whaka-
aro e mahia hunatia. E ngari korerotia i te awatea.
A kiia mai te kupu, mehemea he pai ranei kia peia
te iwi kino te iwi kuare, ki waho o te Paremata nei.
Ki te mea ka mahia hunatia, he mea kia mamingatia
patipatitia e ratou te Maori. Koia a ia i ki ai, me
korero nui nga mea katoa, kia tuhituhia ai aua kupu
kia panuiti ai ki nga Maori katoa o te whenua nei, ki
a mohio ai ratou nga Maori he iwi kotahi tatou, kia
rongo ai ano ranei ratou nga Maori, ki a koutou kupu,
he iwi ke matou i a koutou. A he Iwi ano koutou,
he Iwi ano matou.
Ka mea a WI KATENE, he kupu ano taana nao te
mea e korerotia ana e te Paremata nei. E kore e rere
ke taana kupu, ka aru tonu ano i te take e kiia nei e
te Paremata. I mea nga Mema o te Komiti rapura-
pu i nga tikanga o te Pitihana o nga tangata Maori o
Hauraki, me tuku taua Pitihana, kia mahia e Te
Kawanatanga, a ma Te Kawanatanga taua Pitihana e
titiro. Mehemea i mahara- aia ka turia he korero e
Te Hiana ki te aroaro o Te Paremata mo te kupu a
nga Maori o Hauraki e kiia nei, penei he tika ano kia
puta taua kupu ki te aroaro o taua Komiti. E wha-
kaae ana aia, kia noho te Maori i roto i nga Huuri,
nae nga mea katoa. I mahia ano e ratou te whakaaro
kia ta he Maori hei Mema nao nga Maori ki nga
Runanga Paremata Porowini, a kihai i pono. Ano
kua tae mai nei te Pitihana a etahi Maori kia noho te
Maori i roto i nga Huuri ka whakaae aia ki taua kupu,
mehemea i ki te kupu a Te Hiana ma Te Kawanatanga
e titiro te take e kiia nei e Te Paremata, penei maana
(ma Wi Katene) te kapu ki Te Kawanatanga, kia noho
nga Maori i roto i nga Huuri. E kore a ia e ki kupu mo
nga Mema Maori mo te Paermata. Ma te Paremata
taua kupu e kii. A mo nga tikanga e kiia nei e Te Ka-
wanatanga mo nga whenua Maori kia kaua e hokona, ki
taana whakaaro, ma nga Maori tana tikanga e mea.
Otiia ko etahi Mema Maori kou mo te Paremata nei,
ma te Paremata taua kupu e mahi.
Ka mea a TA HORI KEREI. He pai nga kupu
a Ta Tanara Makarini. A ka tono ano aia a Ta Hori
Kerei i tetahi tono ano, kia tatu te whakaaro o Te
Kawanatanga, a kia oti i a ratou te rapurapu nga
tikanga, e noho ai ranei, e kore ai ranei te Maori e
noho i te Huuri, me whakaatu mai taua kupu a Te
Kawanatanga kia rongo te Paremata nei. E kiia ana
kua tino nui haere te utu mo nga whenua, e mau ana
i nga Maori. A he nui ano hoki nga mahi Whakawa
a te Maori a te Pakeha kia ratou. A na nga Kooti o
te whenua nei i mahi aua tautohe. A e mohio ana te
Minita Maori, ko aua Whakawa, ma nga tikanga
Maori o mua, kia rangona ka marama ui ana Whaka-
wa, Whaihoki, me whakamarama ano ana korero e nga
Maori, ka ata kitea ai aua tikanga. Ki taana whakaaro,
ki ta Ta Hori Kerei, he tino tika pu ano kia tu nga
Maori i roto i nga Huuri, ki noho ai nga Maori ki te
whakawa i nga mea e pa tahi ai ratou ko te Pakeha.
A e mea atu ana aia kia Ta Tanara Makarini, ki te
mea ka oti te whakaaro a te Kawanatanga mo taua
mea nei, me whaaki mai e ratou ki te Paremata nei,
kia mahara ai ano tenei Paremata ki tetahi tikanga
mahi ano ma ratou mo taua mea.
Ka mea a TA TANARA MAKARINI, kia oti te
whakaaro a te Kawanatanga, ka whaakina ki te Pare-
mata nei ta ratou kupu.
Ka mea a TAIAROA he kupu ano aana mo te Piti-
hana a nga Maori o Hauraki. Tetahi take, a aua Maori,
he mea ha ratou, kia nui ake he Mema ma ratou i te
Paremata nei. I mea ano aia i mua kia whakamahaa
nga Mema Maori mo te Paremata nei. a kihai i
whakaaetia e te Runanga Ariki. I mea aia kia
whakanuia nga Mema Maori mo te Paremata, a, ki te
mea e kore taua whakaaro e whakaaetia: ka pena
ano tana kupu me ta Karaitiana Takamoana, me mutu
nga Mema Maori mo tenei Paremata. Heoi ano taana
i mohio ai i roto i tenei Paremata, e noho take kore
ana nga Mema Maori i konei, i roto i tenei Paremata.
He nui ana korero i whakapuaki ai i roto i tenei
Paremata, a kahore rawa aua kupu aana i whakara-
ngona e nga Mema Pakeha. I whakahe pea ratou ki
aua kupu, i whakahawea ranei pea ; a kihai ana tono
i tono ai, i whakaaetia. A ko nga Pitihana a nga
Maori e tukua mai ana ki te Paremata nei, e kore e
manaakitia e nga Mema Pakeha, a e kore e whakaaetia
aua mea e tonoa ana e aua Pitihana. Na reira aia i
kore ai o pai kia tino korero aia i ana whakaaro ki te
Paremata. Kahore hoki he pai kia korero kau nga
Mema Maori, i te mea hoki kahore he mea e riro mai
kia ratou mo a ratou korero, ko te mea tino pai, rue
mutu te haere mai o nga Mema Maori ki te Paremata
nei. Koia ko Taiaroa, ka puta aia i tenei tau i te
Paremata nei. A ki taana hiahia, kaua tetahi Mema
Maori mo tenei Motu e haere mai ki tenei Paremata ana
tu te Paremata hou, kahore he pai mo te Maori e puta
kia ratou nao nga Mema Maori e noho nei i tenei
Paremata. I mea a Wi Katene " waiho ma to Kawa-
natanga e tirotiro taua tikanga." A koia na tonu te
kupu a te Kawanatanga.
Ka mea a WEKATENE. E ui aua a ia, mehemea,
ma te Kawanatanga anake ano ranei te mea, kia wha-
kamahaa nga Mema Maori o te Paramata.
Ka mea a TAIAROA, mehemea kahore he tikanga a
te Kawanatanga e nui ai nga Mema Maori mo te Pare-
mata. He aha te take i kore ai e tukua mai taua whaka
aro e Te Kawanatanga kia mahia e te Paremata? Hei
tenei Paremata ka tuku mai ai he Pira e Te Kawana-

Maori i te ngaro a te Moa, i taria ai.
Ka mea a Te HIANA. E hara tana whakaaro, i
turia ai e ia tenei korero e ia, me te Pitihana a nga 1
Maori o Hauraki, i te mea, he whakahe taana i nga ti-
kanga o te Paremata, a o te Komiti ano hoki. Mei kore
o korerotia e ia ki te Paremata nei, penei e kore rawa i
e tae mai i Te Kawanatanga. He mea atu taana ki te
Minita Maori, (a e hara taana i te korero kupu take
kore,) ki taana titiro e pai ana te nuinga o nga Maori,
ma Te Kawanatanga anake e hoko nga whenua o nga
Maori. A ko ono whakaaro mo nga Kura whakaako i
te Iwi. E kore a ia e pai kia kore he kupu mo tera e
puta i a ia. E whakaae ana a ia ki nga kupu a te
Minita Maori mo ana korero mo te ako i te Maori. E
whakaae a ia, ko te mahi o tenei Kawanatanga, he
ako i te Maori kia tino mohio i a ratou nga tikanga o
e reo Pakeha, a kia tino rite pu ai ratou ki te Pakeha.
A he nui nga tikanga o taua tu ako, kua puta i nga
mahinga ako. A e mea ana a ia, he pai ano, mehemea
e tono ana te Minita Maori i etahi moni kia nui i tenei
tau, hei mahi i aua tikanga. Ina hoki he moni, e
utua tikatia ana aua moni hei ako i nga
mo te kupu mo nga Maori, kia noho hei mahi
E kore a ia e whakaae kia kiia me mata nga Maori
katoa i taua mahi. Otiia me pera me nga tikanga
Pakeha mo nga Huuri e whiriwhiri ana i roto i ie
Iwi. Ko nga tangata o aua Huuri, hei te hunga
whai taonga, tangata tika. Whaihoki kia mohio ki
nga tikanga Pakeha; ara hei nga tangata kua roa te
nohoanga i roto i nga Pakeha. E pai ana a ia ki
nga kupu a Ta Tanara Makarini. A e mea
ana a ia, ka pai ano kia korerotia mai e ia te whaka-
aro a Te Kawanatanga mo aua mea nei, i nga ra ki
ano tenei Paremata i mutu noa. A whakaaetia aua
te kupu i turia ai taua korero.
WHEN the report of the Native Affairs Committee on
the petition of 145 Natives of Hauraki came on for
discussion in the House on the 15th of September,
Messrs. Takamoana, Katene, Taiaroa, and others, made
the following speeches :—
" Mr. Takamoana wished to refer to two matters in
the petition;—the sale of land and Native representa-
tion. The question of the sale of land was, in his
opinion, the same as the Provinces. Formerly it was
only the Governor that had to deal with the House; sub-
sequently the Provinces. It was the same with the
land—the Government alone were the purchasers.
Subsequently the House passed an Act enabling the
the people to buy the land. The Europeans had done
that in order that they might get possession of the
lands of the Natives. That was the reason why he
said, with reference to the abolition of the Provinces,
that it had reference to the Natives. With reference
to the representation, let the House consider it. Let
the House go on considering it, and let them not leave
it to the Minister for Native Affairs alone to consider
it. Let the whole House go into that question, and
say what the law should be on that point. It would
be better to let the Natives go out of the House alto-
gether if their number were not increased. Let them
go into the matter, and consider the increase of repre-
sentation of the Native race. Do not leave it to the
Minister alone. He should like to hear all members
speak, and say whether they approved of Maoris sitting
here or not, or whether they were going to make the
Maoris fewer than they were. Do not let these things
be done secretly, but let them talk openly on the
subject, and say whether it was right to send these
ignorant and evil people out of the House. If they
acted in that secret way, it would be merely to wheedle
the Maoris. He would therefore say, let all things
be expressed so that they may be written down and
published to the Natives of this island ; so that we
may be able to ascertain that we are one people, or,
ou the contrary, that we may know by what you say
that we are two separate people—that you are one
people, and that we are another."
" Mr. Katene had something to say on the motion
of the member fur Rodney. He would not go away
from the subject, but would speak on the question
before the House. The members of the Native Affairs
Committee agreed to refer the petition of the Natives
of Hauraki to the Government for their consideration,
and it would be for them to do so. Had he thought
the honorable member for Rodney would have brought
forward a motion in the House on the question, he
should have referred to
to the Maoris being members of juries and other
things. They tried to get a Maori member into the
Provincial Council in former years, but they could not.
do it. Now that the Maoris had petitioned that
certain Maoris should be made jurors, he would agree
to that. If the honorable member for Rodney had
given notice that the question should bo refered to
to the Government, he (Mr. Katene) would have
spoken to the Government and recommended that the
Maoris should be members of juries. He would not
speak now ou the question of Maori representation.
That rested with the House. With reference to the
restrictions placed on the sale of land by the Govern-
ment, that was a thing which he thought should be
left to the Natives to consider. But the increase of
representation was a matter for the whole House.
"Sir G. Grey, while thanking the Native Minister
for the interesting statement he had made to the
House ou this subject, would venture to make one
request—namely, that when the Government had
made up their minds with, regard to the course they
intended to pursue in reference to the question raised
that the Native should be placed on the jury list,
the honorable member would be so good as to commu-
nicate the decision of the Government to the House.
It was well known that recently the property of the
Natives had increased enormously in value, and that
many questions with regard to property had arisen
between themselves and Europeans which were being
considered by the Courts of the country. The Native
Minister was aware that those questions sometimes
depended entirely on Native custom and on the Native
interpretation of documents. He would submit that,
in justice to the Natives, steps should be taken to
place them on the jury list, so that they might sit as
jurors on cases of such kind where their interests were
so enormously at stake. He trusted the honorable
member would assure the House that when the Go-
vernment had come to a decision on the matter they
|

would communicate it to the House, in order that the
House might determine what further steps should be
taken with regard to it."
" Sir D. M'Lean said that when the Government
had come to a decision upon the matter, he would be
happy to make it known to the House."
" Mr. Taiaroa had a few words to say oh the petition
of the Natives of Hauraki. One point was that they
were trying for an increased representation in this
House. He formerly applied for an increased repre-
sentation in this House, but the other branch of the
Legislature did not agree to it. He thought the
Native representation should be increased in that
House, otherwise he should agree with what his honor-
able friend the member for the Eastern Maori district
had said, that there should be no members at all. He
knew from his experience in this House that they were
now here in a false position. ' He had said many things
in this House which the European members did not
pay attention to. They objected or did not pay atten-
tion to what he had said, and did not carry out his
wishes. The petitions sent by the people of this
island to this House did not appear to be agreed to or
entertained. Therefore it was that he did not care to
speak very much in this House. It was not worth
while speaking; there was nothing to be gained by
the Natives. The best thing for the Maoris was to go
out altogether. He intended himself to go out this
year. He hoped that no member of the island would
come forward next Parliament. There was no good
to be gained by it. The honorable member for the
Northern Maori district said, " Let the matter be con-
sidered by the Government." But that was what the
Government always said."
" Mr. Katene wanted to know whether it rested
with the Government alone to increase the Maori
representation."
" Mr. Taiaroa said, if the Government had nothing
to do with it, why did they not bring the matter before
the House, and let the House decide? Let the Go-
vernment bring down the Bill now, and not hold it
over until next year. If the Government left it over
until next year, he would consider that they were
waiting for the extinction of the Native race."
"Mr. Sheehan, in reply, desired to explain, iu the
first place, that in moving this motion he was not
acting against the rules of the House or the Com
mittee. If he had not taken this step, the matter
would not hare come before the Government. He
desired to assure the Native Minister—and he did not
speak without book—that he believed the great bulk
of the Native people would prefer to see the pre-
emptive right of the Crown established. With regard
to the education question, he desired to say that he
would be sorry to allow his position on that side of the
House to prevent him expressing his opinion on the
matter. He quite agreed with what han been said by
the Native Minister as to the education of the Maoris.
He admittee that under the present Administration
an earnest attempt had been made to lead the Natives
not to talk Maori, but to speak English, and to become
English people. He knew that that attempt was very
successful; and he would be very glad to see the
honorable gentleman asking for more public money
this year than last for this purpose. He knew no
money that was better spent, or would produce more
beneficial results in the future. With regard to the
question of jurors, he would be sorry that the whole
of the Native race should be eligible ; and in the se-
lection of jurors the same rules' could be observed as
in the selection of special jurors amongst Europeans,
They should be men of some property, character, and
knowledge of European customs, acquired through.
long contact with the Europeans. He was glad to
have the assurance of the honorable gentleman ; and
he hoped that before the termination of the session he
would be able to give the House some details as to
the course the Government intended to pursue."
Motion agreed to.
E kiia ana ko a te 20 o te marama nei, (Oketopa,) ka
whakamutua te mahi o tenei Paremata.
Parliament it is affirmed, is to be prorogued and dis-
solved on the 20th instant.
E korerotia ana, kua kitea te koura i Whangarei, i te
takiwa ki Ngapuhi, i ko mai o Tokerau (Pewhairangi.)
It is reported throughout the colony that a new goldfield
has been discovered at Whangarei, in the Province of
Auckland. .
Ko a te 21 o te Marama nei te tu ai te korero a te Kooti
Whakawa Whenua Maori i te Taone o Taranaki. A ko
te 4 o nga ra o Noema te tu ai ano he Whakawa Whenua
a taua Kooti ano i Patea.
A sitting of the Native Lands' Court will be held at
New Plymouth on the 21st instant, and at Patea on the
4th of November.
E mea ana te Nupepa Te Waikato Taima. I tuhi tuhi
ta ratou kai tuhi tuhi kia ratou, a e mea ana, ko a tenei
tau te tino mahi nui ai nga Maori o roto o Waikato i te
whenua. I te Kopua, e rua te kau nga Parau kei te
parau i o reira whenua.
The " Waikato Times" says :—" We learn from a well
informed correspondent at Alexandra, that during the
coming season the Waikato Natives will double the extent
of cultivation. At Kopua alone, upwards of twenty teams
are engaged in ploughing alone."
Kotahi Pakeha ko Reweti te ingoa. I Waikato te
wahi i noho ai taua Pakeha, a naana te kaha ki te haere i
nga maero 112. A ko nga haora ona i haerea ai aua mae-
ro e 48. Ko tana pikaunga e 56 pauna taima i tana tuara
e mau ana. A ko te maero mutunga o tana haere i haerea
ai eia i nga meneti 16.
A man called Danvers, at Hamilton, Waikato, walked
112 miles in 48 hours, carrying a swag 561bs. in weight.
He walked the last mile in a little more than sixteen
minutes.
E mea ana te Nupepa Te Papati Pei Herara, he kino te
mahi a etahi Pakeha me etahi Maori, i te takiwa ki Keneti
Pei. Otiia he pai kia rangona, he kupu tito aua korero :
koia hei nga kii o taua Nupepa. '' He mahi he ta etahi o
nga Pakeha me nga Maori o Keneti Pei i enei ra. He
rarahu kino na ratou i etahi o te iwi. A i etahi ra i ru-
makina e ratou tetahi wahine ki te wai. A he mea moto
e ratou taua wahine, muri iho he mea whakangau ki te
kuri. A na te tangata haere i ora ai taua wahine. Kahore
ano matou i rongo noa, kua kiia taua inaha ki nga kai
tiaki o Te Iwi."
The " Poverty Bay Herald " has the following, which,
it is to be hoped, may prove untrue :—" Some of the Eu-
ropean and Native inhabitants of the Kennedy's Bay
district have been distinguishing themselves lately, in the
way of assault and outrage. One of their latest victims
was a Maori woman. After beating, lacerating, and other-
wise illusing their victim, they threw her into the water
and set dogs at her. The animals after tasting her blood,
became furious, and would have worried her to death, but
for the assistance of some passers-by. We have not yet
heard that the authorities have inquired into the case."

E mea ana te kai tuhituhi atu ki te Koronikana o
Whanganui, kanui te ata marire o te whakaaro o te Maori .
i enei ra. A kanui ano hoki ta ratou aro ki te ngaki
whenua. E aru ana i to te Pakeha mahi ngaki, he nui
nga wahi whenua kua taiepatia e ratou. A he nui ano
hoki ratou ngaki riwai. He mea pea, he nui no te
hiahia a te tini, ki taua kai i te tau kua pahure nei.
The Waitotara correspondent of the " Wanganui
Chronicle says :—" The disposition of the Native element
is unusually pacific and satisfactory at present. They are
showing a praiseworthy inclination to emulate their pakeha
brethren in agricultural pursuits, and they almost daily
may be seen engaged in farming operations of one kind
and another. A good deal of ploughing and fencing has
been, and is being undertaken, and a large quantity of
potatoes have been planted, of which commodity the sales
during the season have exceeded that of any previous
year."
E mea ana te kai tuhituhi ki te Nupepa Atariria, ki nga
ahua o tenei whenua. A ko ana kupu mo Ahuriri, koia
nei ana whakaaro. " He iwi kakama nga tangata o
Ahuriri, a e 3000 o nga tangata o reira. Otiia he tini nga
mea o te Pakeha e mahia ana e aua 3000 tangata. Ahakoa
e hara a Nepia i te Taone tawhito : e hohoro ana te nui o
nga mea o reira. A e toru Nupepa o reira. Kotahi o aua
. Nupepa, na nga Maori o taua whenua. A ko nga korero
o taua Nupepa : he mea reo Maori tetahi taha o nga kupu
o roto. He mea hoki i peneitia ai hei ako i nga Maori, ki
ano i mohio ki te reo Pakeha. A ki ano nga pakeka o
ratou i mohio noa ki te reo Pakeha. Ko nga taitamariki
anake, ko nga mea e akona ana ki nga Kura Maori nga
mea kua mohio. Ki te taha ki te Tonga o Nepia te papaku
e rangona ana ko Ahuriri, a e 80,000 (e waru tekau mano
eka). He whenua tino pai pu taua whenua. I te mea
hoki kia rima, a he mea ano e whitu hipi mo te eka kotahi.
He whenua pai ano hoki, hei ngakinga i nga mea katoa a
te Pakeha, a kahore he hoha a te kai ngaki ki te mahi
mea hei whakamomona mo taua whenua nei, ara, ko te
wahi rahi na nga Maori." He nui noa atu nga kupu tito-
tito a taua kai tuhituhi.
A writer in the " Australasian" of some sketchy
articles called " New Zealand as it is," has the following-
in the last issue to hand concerning this Province. Speak-
ing of Napier it says :—" It has a busy population of
some 3000, souls, and even more than the average number
of those social and useful institutions which every young
community endeavors to establish. Napier has also three
newspapers, in one of which some Maori chiefs in the
neighborhood have an interest^ if not the sole ownership ;
and they print a portion of their newspaper in the ancient
tongue, for the information and instruction of those among
them who have not become acquainted with English an
accomplishment which only the young children in the
schools intended for the Native race have acquired. South
from Napier lie the Ahuriri plains, some 80,000 acres in
extent, of the finest land possible. One acre of pasture
land there maintains from five to seven long-woolled sheep
all the year round, while crops of all kinds can be grown
to the greatest perfection without manure. These plains
are chiefly or wholly in the hands of the Natives." Many
of his sketches are full of similar inaccuracies.
E mea ana te kai tuhituhi ki te Nupepa Rangitikei
Apoketa " Kua Mutu to tautohe a nga Maori, me te
Kawanatanga atu ano i Pokitaone tae noa ki Pamutana, ko
Puutu te tangata i kiia mo te taha Kawanatanga, a ko Te
Piira mo te taha kia Peeti Te Awe ma, a he mea korero a
ratou korero i te whare a Te Pura, i te Hatarei nei. Roa
noa te korero, oti ana nga korero. A ko tenei, ko te
mutunga ko a ratou ingoa kia tuhituhia ki te pukapuka.
Heoi ra ko te tino otinga, kia titiro tatou, me kore ranei e
mahia aua Rerewei nei e te Kawanatanga, kia wawe ai te
tino oti, kia haerea o to iwi, me nga kai kia utaina ki taua
ara hei kawe ki whenua ke.
The Foxton correspondent of the " Rangitikei Advocate"
says :—The disputes between the Natives and the Govern-
ment concerning the laying of the iron rails, and also the
extension of the telegraph from here to Palmerston have
terminated. Mr. Booth, as agent for the Government,
and Mr. Butler, on behalf of the obstructor, the aboriginal
Lord of the Manor, Peeti ;Te Awe, Esq., met at the resi-
dence of the latter gentleman on Saturday last, when, at
a meeting which lasted till after midnight, the preliminaries
of peace were agreed on, arid this morning the necessary
documents were to be signed, so that now it only remains
to be seen whether of not the Government will prosecute
the works earnestly."
E mea ana te Panui a Te Kawanatanga, ko a te 21, o

kawa Whenua Maori, i te Taone o Taranaki. A koia nei
nga ingoa o nga tangata, me nga ingoa o ta whenua e

TE KORERO A NGA MEMA O TE PAREMATA,
MO NGA WHENUA I HERETAUNGA.
I mea atu a Hiana ki te Paremata, kia rapurapua e nga
Mema o te Paremata nga tikanga o nga kupu a nga Maori
o Heretaunga, mo a ratou whenua i riro i te Pakeha. Ke
tino nui no ana tikanga koia aia te Hiana i mea ai, ki te
mea ka noho kupu kore aia, ka tino herawa tana mahi no-
ho hangu. I korero a Te Riana i nga kupu a Te Tapata i ki
ki te Paremata i mua kia turia te tahi komihana hei whaka-
wa mo aua whenua. A no te tini o nga mea. e ko-
rerotia ana i roto i nga Paremata, koia pea i kore
ai ano e korerotia taua mea o te tau 1873, a tae noa mai
nei ki tenei tau 1875. A he kino ki te mea e kore ano o
korerotia i te turanga o tenei Paremata. Ka tekau ma
ono pea nga tau o te Porowini o Hoku Pei, i kiia ai he
Porowini. A ko nga mahi ki te taha Maori i roto i
nga tau tekau ma tahi he mea mahi na To Minita Maori
(Ta Tanara Makarini) raua ko te Mema mo Karaewe (Te
Omana). I aua ra na te Maori te nuinga o nga whenua i
i Heretaunga. A no te mea. he Maori aua Maori kihai i
i tino noho i te taha Pakeha. Koia ratou i kuare ai ki o
te Pakeha mahi, me o te Pakeha tikanga. Na reira aua
Maori i kuare ai ki nga tikanga o nga Ture o te
Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori. A oho rawa ake te
mohio o aua Maori noho taute ana ratou i te Pakeha.
Na reira i ahua pau more more ai nga whenua o.
reira i te Pakeha. A ko nga take i riro ai, tena pea e kete-
kete te Paremata ana rongo ki aua take. E tino mea pu ana
tawa whakaaro, na Te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori ana
he, i te mea hoki kihai taua Kooti i ata mahi marire i aua
mea. Na Te Kooti Whakawa Whenua. Maori te take i
pangia ai nga Maori o Heretaunga e te kino, a i rangona
kinotia ai ano hoki te Porowini o Haku Pei. A ko tana ku-
pu whakahe hei korero mana ki tenei Paremata: he kupu
whakahe maana mo aua Kooti. A korero ana a te Hiana i

i mokete ai nga Maori i a ratou whenua, a muri iho i te
mokete ko te tino hoko, i riro ai nga whenua a te Maori i

nga o tenei mea o te mokete. Ko nga ra o enei ta mahi

A i roto i aua ra, he mea ano e haurangi tonu ana nga
Maori, kahore he mauri i oho ki te mahara. A he riro
opa mai to taonga me te waipiro i aua ra te homai e te Pa-

ko nga Maori kitia i mokete i hoko ranei, ko nga whenua
a aua Maori i riro i te mahi maminga a etahi Pakeha te

riro taua whenua i te hoko. Ahakoa kua kiia, kaua tetahi o
ratou e hoko, i nga ra o te katoa ki ano i rongo noa, a i wha-
kaae ki te hoko. A korero ana a Te Hiana i te mea a Tareha
a te Pakeha a Paaki, a Te Tuati Pakeha, nana nei te mea kia
hokona e ia a Heretaunga, ako Te Hemara, ko Kirinara, ko
Te Wokena nga kai whakamaori. I korerotia ano hoki e Te
Hiana tetahi reta a Te Hemara kia Ta Tanara Makarini,
mo nga mahi a Te Wokena, i whakahangia e Te Hemara.
A he nui nga kupu whakahe mo Te Wokena, ki ano nei i

£ 3500 i homai kia Henare Tomoana raua ko Karaitiana,
hei utu kia mahi ai raua kia riro ai tana whenua i te hoko.
A kihai hoki etahi o nga tangata na ratou nga ingoa i te
Karauna Karaati nao tana whenua ; i rongo ki aua moni
£3600, i kiia nei e te Pakeha kia hoatu kia Henare
Tomoana raua ko Karaitiana. He mea hoki aua moni,
kia riro ai a Heretaunga mo nga mohi £ 13, 500, mo nga

He roa noa atu nga korero a Te Hiana, mo te hoko he a
te Pakeha i nga whenua o te Maori i Haku Pei, a i korero
ano aia i nga korero i tuhi tuhia e Tiati Retimana raua ko
Te Manene i nga korero i korerotia i te whakawa i te
Komihana i Heretaunga. He mea hoki na Te Hiana i
korero ai i aua korero kia kitea ai te he o nga mahi i
mamingatia ai nga Maori o Heretaunga kia hokona a rato-
u whenua e ratou ki te Pakeha. He mea ano i tuhi tuhia
nga ingoa o nga tamariki ki nga Ruri o te hoko mo te
whenua. He mea ano ko nga ingoa o te hunga e takoto
mate ana. I mea aia a Te Hiana e hara te Ture Whenua
Maori o te tau 1870 i te Ture tiaki i te Maori, engari he
Ture tiaki kore taua Tare. E mea ana aia ko nga Kai
Whakamaori o wha e noho nei i Nepia, e tu take kore ana
ratou i a ratou turanga Kai Whakamaori. A e pouri ana aia
a Te Hiana, no te mea, kahore he mea a Te Minita mo
nga Maori, me Te Omana, i mahi i tetahi mea e riro ai te
tika ki nga Maori. He mea hoki pea, e he ana raua, i a
rana hoko whenua i nga Maori. Kua riro i To Minita Maori
nga mano eka e rua te kau, a ko aua whenua mei tika te
mahi, penei kaa riro i te Kawanatanga. A mea ata ana a
Te Hiana ki Te Paremata, me penei he kupa ma te Pare-
mata nei. E ki ana te kupu a Te Paremata nei, e pouri
ana tenei Paremata mo nga mahi tahae a te Pakeha i a
ratou mahi Whenua.
Ka mea a Ta Tanara Makarini, Ka he te whenua katoa
nei i nga korero a Te Hiana, ara, te Koroni katoa. He

ratou mahi hoko katoa. Kahore kau he take o nga kupu
a Te Hiana, mo nga hoko whenua a aana a Ta Tanara
Makarini. No te mea i hokona aua whenua i nga ra o
Kawaua Kerei e Kawana ana. A kahore kau he kupu

Kawanatanga anake e hoko nga whenua a te Maori. I te

Maori, a he aha te he ona o Ta Tanara Makarini i tana hoko-
nga i nga whenua maana. A ko nga kupu a Te Hiana mo te

korero a Te Tiati Retimana raua ko Te Manene, i a raua

kupu i takea ai taua uiui mo te hokonga o Heretaunga,
ko aua kupu whakapae, kihai i pono, ranei kihai i kitea te
tika o aua kupu whakapae. ' Ko te take a Te Hiana e mahi
nei, e hara i te rapu kia mahia nga mahi he kia tika,
engari, he ako i te tikanga whakakahore i nga mahi hoko
a te Maori ki te Pakeha. Kei roto i nga kupu a aua
Komihana, nga kupu utu mo nga korero katoa, o te korero
e whakapaea nei e Te Hiana, he kupu era hei tautoko i nga

Ka korero hoki a Ta Hori Kerei. A i tino whakaae aia
ki te tika o nga korero a Te Hiana.
Ka mea a Te Omana, he kupu whakahe nga korero a Te

DEBATE ON NATIVE LANDS IN HAWKE'S BAY.
Mr. Sheehan called the attention of the House to com-
plaints of Natives of Hawke's Bay as to the manner ia
which they have been treated by certain Europeans in
reference to their lands. The matter was of such great
importance that it would be criminal in him to remain

silent. The hon. gentleman referred to the Bill introduced
by the member for Timaru for appointing a commission
to enquire into certain land transactions in Hawke's Bay.
Owing to various causes the question had been shelved
since 1873, but he thought it would be a great pity if this
Parliament dissolved without re-considering the matter.
Some sixteen years ago Hawke's Bay had been created
under the New Province Act, and for the next eleven years
the whole control of the affairs of that Province had been in
the hands of the gentlemen, now Native Minister, and the
present member for Clive. At that time the bulk of land
around Napier belonged to the Natives, who, from their
previous isolation from civilising influences, were about
the most ignorant of all the Natives in the colony, and
they consequently never had that correct appreciation of
the operation of the Native Lands Act until it was too I
late. The result was that the Native title there was I
almost completely extinguished, and the land had passed
away from them to Europeans under circumstances which
the House must deplore. He was perfectly satisfied the
Native Lands Courts were to a great extent answerable
for this, through not having done their duty. It was these
Courts that were answerable for inflicting great evils upon
the Natives, and giving Hawke's Bay such an unenviable
notoriety. It was of these Courts he wished to complain
to the House. The hon. gentleman went into details to
show how the Natives parted with their lands. How they
first got into debt to the publican and storekeepers, and
how mortgages and conveyances rapidly followed, and
the Natives became dispossessed of their land without
ever once having a glimmering idea of the incidence of
mortgages. This state of things continued from 1867 to
1872, certain periods of the time being one continuous
drunk amongst the Natives, who could obtain stores, pro-
visions, and liquor with fatal facility. The worst feature
of these transactions was that a great many Natives, who
were no parties to giving these mortgages, were deprived
of their lands for ever through the machinations of a few
designing Europeans, who were known as " The Ring.'*
There was one glaring instance, where a Mr. Williams,
who outwardly was supposed to be acting in the interest
of the Natives in one of these transactions, yet was per-
sonally interested in the transaction, while he, instead
of being a disinterested person, who was instructing the
Maoris, and looking after their interests, was really making
the bargain for himself and Samuel Williams. Ormond (the
member for Clive), Tanner, Russell, and, he believed, a
gentleman named Gordon, were all interested in the land
speculations. In order to induce one of the grantees to
sign, and to get the other grantees to sign, he was secretly
paid £500 as a bribe to get his co-grantees to sign, which
he did. In about twelve months after, an attempt was
made to secure the freehold, though it had been agreed
that none of the grantees could sell without consent of
the other. The hon. gentleman then related at length the
history of the cases of Tareha and of Parker ; of the
transaction of Stewart, who endeavored to purchase the
freehold of the Heretaunga block through Messrs. Hamlin,
Grindell, and Worgan. He read a letter from Mr. Hamlin
to the Native Minister condemning the doings of Worgan,
and making a grave charge against him, which had never
yet been investigated. The hon. gentleman referred to
the attempts to affect a purchase of the Heretaunga block,
and mentioned that £3,500 had been paid to Henare
Tomoana and Karaitiana (his brother), as a bribe, unknown
to the rest of the grantees, to cause the sale of the block
to be effected for a sum of £13,500 for about 16,000 acres.
To show what the sellers of the block had out of their
own transaction, ne mentioned that, as only about £1,500
remained out of £13,500, after debts for grog and stores
were paid, the Natives, who were dissatisfied at not
having received any of the money, had to be silenced by
being paid £700 hush money. He continued for about
an hour on the abuses in Native lands purchases in
Hawke's Bay, quoting largely from the evidence taken
before Judges Richmond and Manning, regarding the
Heretaunga block, to show that the Natives had been in-
duced to part with their land in a most improper manner;
that sometimes the signatures of children ana bed-ridden
Natives being obtained. He considered the Native Land
Act of 1870, instead of protecting the Natives, had the
very opposite effect. He maintained that, of the four
interpreters then at Hawke's Bay, not one was worthy of
his position, and expressed great regret that the Native
Minister and Mr. Ormond had not done anything to obtain
redress for the Natives, but that their arms were palsied
by their own transactions in Native lands. The Native
Minister had acquired, some twenty thousand acres, which
should have been public property. The hon. gentleman
concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the
House expressed regret at the dishonest dealings of Euro-
peans respecting these lands.
Sir Donald M'Lean said the assertions of Mr. Sheehan
were injurious to the whole colony, and an encouragement
to Natives to repudiate all their engagements. There
was no foundation for Mr. Sheehan's assertions regarding
his land purchases, which were effected during Sir George
Grey's term of office, and left no feeling of discontent on
either side. Ho did not approve of the Native Lands
Court, and believed it would be better for the Natives if
the Government had continued to exercise the right of
pre-emption under the Native Lands Act. Any private
individual could purchase lands, and he failed to see why
there should be considered anything improper in availing
oneself of the provisions of the Act. Regarding Mr.
Sheehan's assertions with respect to the Heretaunga block,
the hon. gentleman quoted from the report by Judges
Richmond and Manning, and the Commissioners appointed
to enquire into the question, to show that they bad no
doubt as to the fairness of the transaction. The charges
which formed the subject of inquiry had been either not
proved, or were discovered to be entirely unfounded. The
action of the Natives, as instigated by Mr. Sheehan, was
founded on a desire to repudiate their action generally,
rather than seek for redress for any particular grievance.
The Commissioner's report was the most complete answer
to the imputation of Mr. Sheehan, who, there was no doubt,
had been speaking in the interests of his clients.
Sir George Grey spoke strongly in favor of Mr. Sheehan's
motion.
Mr. Ormond characterised Mr. Sheehan's statements as
a discreditable attempt to damage the reputation of po-
litical opponents. It was a new thing, and derogatory for a
member of that House to appeal as a paid advocate of persons,
for the hon. gentleman received a yearly salary to conduct
the proceedings of those people known as the " Repudia-
tion Party." Mr. Sheehan denied this, but Mr. Ormond
cited an instance in which a friend of his offered a fee to Mr.
Sheehan for certain legal advice, but that Mr. Sheehan
was forbidden by his " Master," the Hon. H. R. Russell,
to take it, au he was the paid legal adviser on the other
side.
Mr. Sheehan also denied this.
Mr. Ormond continued, saying the Repudiation Office in
Hawkes Day was regularly organised and had brought
many cases into Court, but never yet gained a single one.
He asked the House if they would accept the special
pleadings of Mr. Sheehan against the decisions of such
men as Judges Richmond and Manning, who, for five
weeks, examined into all these charges, and who decided
that no good ground of complaint had been sustained
against the purchasers, and that the proceedings had been
commenced rather from a desire to repudiate than from
any just cause of complaint. The hon. gentleman gave
the whole history of the purchase of the block, and said
that, instead of Natives receiving only about £1,500 for
seventeen thousand acres, the sworn evidence before the
Commissioners showed that they had received £21,000
hard cash. The hon. gentleman, after repeling all the
accusations and insinuations of Mr. Sheehan, concluding

by saying that he failed in every attempt, made by
him in the Supreme Court, so had he failed in this attempt
to blacken the character of members of that House. The
motion was negatived on the voices. -" H. B. Herald."
