NATIVE LANDS COURT, WAIPAWA.
RE-HEARING OF THE MANGAORAPA CASE.
OUR, Native readers will remember that about six or
seven months ago an application for subdivision of
the above block was made by Atareta Taupe before
Judge Rogan and a Native Assessor at Porangahau.
A subdivision was ordered by which nearly one half
the block went to Atareta, the balance being left to
the other eight grantees. Henare Matua and others
appealed against this decision, and a rehearing was
ordered to take place. The case for second hearing
came before Judge Symonds and Hori Kukutai,
Native Assessor, yesterday, at Waipawa, when the
application for subdivision was refused. The Court
further recommended that a new grant should issue
with the name of Wi Matua added to those of the pre-
sent grantees. That being done the parties will be
at liberty to apply again for subdivision. We
understand that Atareta has leased to Mr. Canning
her interest in the block. If this be so the lease is
now probably void under the provisions of the 58th
section of the Native Lands Act, 1873.

KAKIRAOA AGAIN.
THE " Colonial" Journal and one or two other papers
are still greatly exercised over the settlement of
Messrs. Watt's Longlands title. and seem to find some i
mysterious pleasure and consolation in totting up the
money which has been paid to the Native owners. It
is a pity that the same disposition to pry into the
merits of Native land transactions in this province
had not been manifested some years ago. There
would not now be so many invalid titles, and the
whole of a tine agricultural district would not have
been mopped up by Mr. Sutton and his forty friends.
The " Colonial" Journal some few weeks ago ex-
pressed a very lively fear that the Native advisers
being now furnished with money would go in for a
rigorous prosecution of other cases. We regret to
state that our contemporary's prophetic alarm has been
more than justified. The owners of the money have
made the amplest provision for deciding their rights
in the Supreme Court of the Colony.

Aperira te 6. E mea ana te korero mai o te Wai-
pounamu kua kitea e te Pakeha i nga Ana o nga
maunga o te tua-whenua o te Waipounamu, nga tuhi
uhi, i mahia e nga Kahika ona mata, e mau ana i aua
Aua, a ko etahi o ana tuhi tuhi, i penei me te ahua o
te Kiwi, ko etahi i penei me te ahua tangata, ko etahi
penei me te ahua Tuna, a ko etahi i penei me te
uma Tohora Pakake. A i penei etahi me ahua kakahu
e kahuria ana e ona mata tangata. He kokowai te
tuhi i tuhia ai aua mea. A he awe no te ahi te tuhi a
etahi. E mea ana te Pakeha, e hara pea aua mea i te
mea tuhi tuhi e te Maori, engari poa he mahi na te
tahi iwi, na ratou i noho nga Motu nei i mua atu o
nga ra o te Maori ki ano i whiti mai i Hawaiki. He
tono atu tenei ki nga iwi Maori kia tuhi tuhia mai e te

matou e panui aua korero a nga Maori, hei ako i te
iwi Pakeha, ki o te Maori, mea i mohio ai. I rongo
ano matou, ki nga kaumatua, i to wa i u mai ai nga
Waka o Hawaiki ki nga Motu nei, i rokohanga mai

He korero mo tetahi whare takotoranga
hei Matakitaki ma te iwi mo nga mea
e mahia ana, a mo nga mau ano hoki o
te whenua, o nga Koroni katoa o Inga-
rangi.
Koia nei etahi o nga kupu o nga pukapuka i tukua
mai i Tawahi, i Ranana i te Pa o Kuiini. kia Karaiti-
ana Takamoana, te Mema Maori ki Te Paremata mo
te Tai Rawhiti o te Motu o Aotearoa. He mea hoki
na matou kia kite te iwi Maori, i te pai, me te kaha
o te hiahia o etahi o nga Rangatira o Ingarangi, kia
aro mai ta ratou mahi ki ta tatou mahi, kia moiri ai
te iwi Maori ki te mohio ki nga mea nui o te ao nei.
Kahore ano pea to iwi Maori i tino mohio, ki te pai, a
ki te mana o te mahi nei, ara, ki te mea ka kawea
nga tauira o nga mea katoa e mahia ana, a e ngakia
ana, i enei whenua ki Tawahi whaka-kitekite ai ki o
reira iwi, ma reira e rangona ai, a e mohio ai nga iwi
O te ao nei ki a tatou nui e puta ana ia tatou o enei
whenua. Koia matou i mea ai, he tika kia panuitia
ana korero i tukua mai nei e nga Komihana o Tawahi
kia Karaitiana Takamoana. A he mea ano hoki na
matou, ka pai ano kia aro atu ano hoki tatou kia mahi
tahi tatou ki aua Komihana. Kia takoto tahi ai a
tatou mea, i nga mea o nga whenua katoa o te ao nei.
kia korerotia ai a tatou mahi me a tatou mea e mahi
ai, kia tino mohio ai nga iwi o nga whenua kia tatou.
A e mea ana te Wata, he Tiati aia no te mahi wha-
kitekite a nga iwi i mahia i Amerika. Koia nei etahi o
nga kupu a Te Wata, e ki ana aia " He mea pai kia tu
he whare ma nga Koroni i te Pa o Kuini i Ranana, i
A ma nga kai tiaki o taua whare e whaaki ki te iwi
katoa nga korero o nga mea o nga Koroni. E kiia
aua, kia mahia nga tauira o nga mea katoa e ngakia
ana, ranei, e mahia ana ranei e nga Koroni nei, a kia
kite te iwi i aua mea, a kia Matakitaki ano hoki te
iwi ki nga mea pera a etahi Koroni, ma reira ka kitea
ai te pai o a tatou mea e mahi ai. a e ngaki ai, e mina
mina ai te iwi ki a tatou mea. He mea hoki, ka ata
mahia etahi o a tatou mea i taua whare, a ka hokona
e te iwi i reira, ma reira e aro nui ai te iwi ki aua mea
a ka ahu mai ki nga Motu nei hoko ai. a ma reira, e
tupu nui ai tatou ki te mahi a nga iwi nui o to ao
nei.
He pono ia nei enei kupu a matou, a e rito ana ki
nga kupu a Te Wata, he Tiati aia no te whaka-kite-
kitenga o nga mea o to ao katoa i Pirirewhia i Ame-
rika ki te Hau-raro. A koia nei nga kupu a Te Wata.
He nui, a he tini no nga mea o nga Koroni o Ingara-
ngi i tukua kia kite te iwi i Amerika, te mea i tino
miharotia e te ao. A he tino nui te mihi a te iwi ki
nga mea i kawea atu i Atareria nei. He tini no aua
mea, he pai no aua mea, koia ahau i mea ai na aua
mea i kite ai te ao katoa, i te nui nae te kaha o nga
Motu nei, me nga Koroni ano hoki ki te aami i nga
pai mo te iwi. A i tae ake ano nga Komihaaa o nga
whenua ke, kia kite i nga mea i tukua atu i enei
Koroni. A na aua Komihana te take i kiia ai kia
tukua mai nga Tinaa uta taonga atu i enei Motu ki
Tawahi, he kite hoki na aua Komihana i te nui
taonga o enei Motu. E mea ana nga tino tangata o
te iwi. Kaua e waiho ma nga whenua ke atu e wha-
kaatu ki te iwi, nga mea o eaei Motu, engari me kawe
aua mea ki Ranana ki te pa a Kuini, ki reira takoto
ai, hei Matakitaki ma te ao katoa, a kia kitea ai e nga
tangata hoko taonga o te ao nei. He mea pai, kia
whai whare tatou i te Pa o Kuini,, hei whare e takoto
topuu ai nga mea o nga Koroni nei hei Matakitaki
ma te ao. A koia nei ano hoki etahi o nga kupu a
nga Komihana o te whare tiaki i nga mea a nga iwi
hei Matakitaki ma te ao katoa. A he kupu aua kupu
na aua Komihana, ki nga Kawanatanga, o nga Koroni
katoa o Ingarangi. Koia nei nga kupu a aua Komihana
He tini noa atu nga tau i rapu rapu ai matou nga
Komihana o te whare tiaki i nga mea hei Matakitaki
ma te iwi. i te tahi tikanga e oti ai he whakaaro, nao
te tahi whare takotoranga mo nga mea i nga koroni
hei matakitaki rua te iwi, a ko taua whare me matu i
to Pa o Kuini i Ranana." A koia nei te take i kiia
ai e aua Komihana, kia tu he whare mo nga Koroni
nei i Ranana. " No te mea he pai no taua whare
takotorangi mea hei titiro ma nga iwi, a e puta te pai
ki Ingarangi ki nga Koroni katoa ano hoki. Koia i
kiia ai, ma Ingaranga, a ma nga Koroni katoa ano
hoki e utu te hanganga me te tikanga e taua whare.
A e kiia ana ma Ingarangi e homai te Wahi whenua e
tu ai taua whare, a ma nga Koroni e utu te hanganga
o te whare me te utu rua nga kai tiaki o taua
whare, ara ma nga Koroni e utu taua wahi utu,
tana wahi utu mo ana mea e takoto ai i taua
whare." A ko Tatou o Niu Tireni nei. ma tatou
ano te whakaaro mo ta tatou wahi o taua whare
me te mahara ki a tatou taonga e takoto ana i reira.
E ki ana hoki nga Komihana. " Me mahi he ture, a
ma aua Ture te tikanga ki nga Koroni e mahi i nga
Koroni i a ratou taonga ake." A koia nei nga
tikanga e tu ai, a e oti ai he whare pera ma nga
Koroni nei. E mea ana aua Komihana. " Me whaaki
mai e nga Koroni katoa, te wahi e takoto ai a ratou
taonga me nga moni a aua Koroni e ki ai kia homai
hei utu mo te mahinga i taua whare. A koia nei nga
kupu a Te Watihana, mo nga utu e oti ai te hanga o
taua whare, me nga utu tau o pau i nga kai tiaki o
taua whare. E mea aua a Te Witihana." Ko te utu
e pau i te tau mo taua whare kia £10,000 (kotahi te
kau mano pauna). E meatia ana. kia rima mano o
aua moni o utu e Ingarangi, a kia rima mano o aua
moni e utu e nga Koroni katoa. A o kiia ana ko te
utu e utu ai nga Koroni ki taua whare, kia kotahi
hawhe karaone moni mo te puutu kotahi ia tau ia tau,
e takoto ai nga taonga o aua Koroni i taua whare.
A ma tanu hawhe karaone e ea ai nga utu tau o aua
Koroni ki taua whare.

A ko nga mea tatou e tuku atu ai i nga motu nei, hei
matakitaki ma te ora. Koia nei te ingoa o etahi o

Pepuere, 1877.
THE PROPOSED IMPERIAL MUSEUM FOR
THE COLONIES AND INDIA.
WE make the following quotations from certain do-
cuments, which have been, forwarded from London to
Karaitiana Takamoana, Maori member of the New
Zealand Parliament for the East Coast electoral dis-
trict, to enable our readers to form some estimate of
the extent to which we may look for support and
assistance from those men in England who work for
the great object of helping the whole human race.
Our Maori readers are not aware, how by the exhibi-
tion of the works of art, industry, and farm produce,
in a country far from the locality from which, such
products are sent, does carry a loud and certain pro-
clamation of the power and wealth of that country
from which such exhibits are sent. Hence we feel it
a duty we owe to society to give the quotations below
in order that the inhabitant's of New Zealand may
awake to the reality of the great advantage we may
derive from accepting assistance from the Council of
the Royal Colonial Institute of London. That and
other Institutes have been for years endeavoring to
form a one general central exhibition for all the
Colonies, to which all the world may have access,
and where the exhibits of all our British, possessions
may be seen side by side with those of other Nations,
and when we in New Zealand will be spoken of, and
our land and its wealth will be better known.
To show how this may be obtained we quote from
J. Watts, Esq., who says:—"There is yet another
most important feature in the plans to be mentioned
viz. the utilization of the museum in London as a
kind of depot, from which information should be sup-
plied to the whole country. It is proposed to make
use of the accumulated resources for the purpose of

sets of trade collections, in which the
according to their trade classification, side by side
with similar products from other countries, competing
with them in the markets of the world. These sets
would then be available for general distribution. The
collection of Indian textile fabrics prepared at the
India Museum and which have been subscribed for by
most of the principal seats of commerce and manufac-
ture in this country, afford an illustration of what is
intended. By this means the institution, instead of
being merely local, would become national in the
widest sense. Every place of importance throughout
the empire would thus become directly interested
and would in an important degree participate in the
advantages resulting from its establishment."
To show this we quote the words of J. Watts, Esq.,
one of the judges for Great Britain at the Philadelphia
Exhibition. He says:—"The extent and the sur-
prising nature of the collections furnished by the
British, colonies in the Centennial Exhibition at Phil-
adelphia form one of its most striking features, as an
evidence which I need only refer to the universal ad-
miration excited by the unexpected display of manu-
factures and machinery from Canada. Equally
remarkable was the amount of interest shown in the
Exhibition on the part of the Australian colonies.
although the collection forwarded from Victoria were
partly damaged on the voage to America. To find so
complete a representation of the products of our Colo-
nial Empire we must go back to the Exhibition of
1862, the annual Exhibitions at South Kensington in
the years 1871-4 being too fragmentary in their
scope and too exclusively artistic in their tendency to
call forth on the part of the colonies anything like the
same degree of effort as that witnessed at previous
exhibitions, and now again manifested steel at Philadel-
phia. The display there is full of interest to the
colonists themselves as shaving them the vast re-
sources as contained within the British Empire itself.
As a consequence of the display made at this exhibi-
tion several of the Australian Commissioners visited
Canada, and were surprised to discover how numerous
are the articles suited to the Australian market which
are there produced, and as the result we learn that
ventures of a direct trade between Canada and Aus-
tralia are about to be made. It is not a little morti-
fying that it should be necessary to go to Philadel-
phia to make such a discovery, and that even in Lon-
don, the capital of the whole empire, it is still impos-
sible to find any public institution in which the pro -
ductions of Canada, Australia, or any of the other
British, colonies are permanently exhibited and ren-
dered accessible to men of business. The only British
possession represented by a museum in London is
India., and even the Indian collections have never
since the abolition of the East India Company had
any special building suited to their purpose appro-
priated to them, but have been shifted about from
place to place, stowed away in attics and corners, and
even now, in their temporary resting place at South
Kensington, they are far removed from the centres of
business and political life. The neglect of England
in this matter is the more astonishing, as the only
other two powers with any colonial pretensions—
France and the Netherlands—have both comparatively
perfect colonial museums—- It is also remarkable that
this neglect prevails where it might have been least
expected, in England itself, the very seat of the cen-
tral power. India and most of the colonies are,
within their own limits very fairly provided for in
this respect, although they are inadequately or not at
all represented at head quarters."
We also quote the following, which, are the intro-
ductory words of the Council of the Royal Colonial
Institute, which were addressed to the various Colo-
nial Governments :-" The Council of the Royal
Colonial Institute have for many years been endea-
vouring to form a Colonial Museum in London in
connection with the Institute, the formation of such a
Museum being one of the objects contemplated by the
regulations of the Institute."
And the reasons for proposing to form a Colonial
Institute are these :—" That as the Colonial Museum
is an Institution which will be of great benefit both.
to England and the Colonies, the expenditure required
for establishing it, as also the cost of its maintenance,
should be shared between them. To this end it is
proposed that England should provide the site and
present it to the Colonies, whilst the Colonies should
among them bear the cost of the buildings in propor-
tion to their respective requirements." And that we
of New Zealand should act for ourselves, and have
the control of our own department in such. Institute,
the Council say :—" That, subject to general regula-
tions, the Colonies should retain the management of
their respective sections." And to show by what
means such Institute may be brought into existence,
they say—"For the accomplishment of this purpose
it is necessary to be able to show the extent to which
the Colonies will join in the erection of the Colonial
Museum, in the event of the site being obtained."
And in a document drawn up by J. P. Watson, the
cost, or annual expense of meeting such an Institute,
is stated by him thus :—" The cost of the annual
maintenance of the Colonial Museum has been
roughly calculated at about £10,000, of this sum one
half should be provided by the mother country, and
the other half by the colonies jointly. It is sug-
gested that the colonial share should be raised by a
charge to each, colony, in lieu of ground rent, of half-
a-crawn for each square foot of ground occupied, pay-
able annually to the proposed board of management
as the colonial contribution to the general charges of
maintenance, such, as heating, lighting, police, &c.
This would amount to an annual charge equal to
about 2 1/4 per cent, on the total outlay of each colony
for its share in the museum.''
Then as to what we may send from New Zealand,
which we are to shew to the world as that which we
can add to the mass of materials which man requires,
Dr. Hector has given the following list, which will,
in itself, shew what we of New Zealand can do. and
what we can produce for the wants of man. The
Doctor makes the following statement in a
MEMORANDUM FOR AGENT GENERAL (FOR NEW ZEALAND)
re COLONIAL MUSEUM IN LONDON.
A permanent museum intended to illustrate the colonial
produce, manufactures, and arts will require a much larger
space for its proper display than a more temporary exhibition.
as visitors will expect greater perfection of arrangement,

and provision must be made for the expansion of the collec-
tions to keep pace with the development of the Colony. The
estimate I now submit is, therefore, greatly in excess of the

It thus appears that a hall 60x100 feet, with gallery all
round, and a few screens so as to bring up the proportion of
wall space required, will be sufficient, but in this estimate no
space has been included for giving effect to the display.
(Signed) JAMES HECTOR M.D., F.RS.
J. Watts. Esq., in his paper read in Liverpool to the
; Congress of Trades says that the working population
of Great Britain want to see and know what the
colonies produce, and he adds, "They would only add
that great numbers of their class also seek for infor-
mation in regard to the production of the colonies
with a view to emigration : and that the establish-
ment of a Colonial Museum on an accessible site
would to such persons prove a boon. " It will be
seen that if we as a people in New Zealand take
advantage of the offer of assistance thus preffered we
shall be known not only as a land that exists, not as
a coIony only of Great Britain, but we shall tell all
the world what we can make, and thus offer our quota
to the production asked for by the wants of man, and
thereby obtain a market for all that we can export
from our shores. To urge us to exertion, and to inform
us of the time when the English gentlemen intend to
take action in this matter, and thereby prompt our
proceedings. The letter from London to Karaitiana Ta-
kamoana states :—" It is understood that the question
is now under the consideration of the Government,
and it is expected that the approaching session of
Parliament will not terminate without its being
brought to a practical issue. To this end, however,
it is desirable that the various colonies, favourable to
i the proposed scheme, should take the earliest practi-
cable opportunity of intimating to the Government
here what they are prepared to do should the mother
] country undertake to provide the site and take a share
of the cost of maintaining the Museum.—London,
February, 1877."

THE NATIVE MEETING AT OMAHU.
———*———
OMAHU, March 10 1877.
(Continuation).
Takarangi said : Do not let us be weary. Yesterday
we were engaged in concluding the work begun at Pako-
whai. The member I will vote for is Karaitiana, also. I
will maintain the newspaper TE WANANGA. And I will
rely in Mr. Sheehan as my lawyer. I, this man, there-
fore, have three members to do my work. And as Sir P.
McLean is dead, let his policy also expire. And let him
and his policy be both buried. I now wish to speak on
the matter of Sir J. Vogel, and see what he has accom-
plished for New Zealand. I wish to sec what he has done
for me and my Maori rights. The mana of the Governor,
and the Queen have ceased to exist. Let The name
Governor and Queen be cast off me, there is not any por-
tion of it on me. My Government is the Maori, and my
Queen is the same, that is, that I am to think and act
justly. I have not any money to give to the Maori mem-
ber which has been proposed at this meeting. But if it
is conceded to me that I am a Maori. I shall then know
how to act in one with them, as the Queen has consented
to what I asked. Why. I say what I am now saying is.
because the Maori members Mete Kingi and Tareha Te
Moananui were eIected. And in accordance with the
' desire of the European, money was borrowed from the
the Europeans across the sea, in England, and the Govern-
ment told that which is not correct when they blamed i
Mete Kingi and Tareha for having borrowed the money
from England. The name " member " was given to Mete
Kingi and Tareha so that the Government might push
on the railway and roads through the country. But now
that we have put Karaitiana and Henare Koura, up we
have obtained TE WANANGA and Mr. Sheehan's assistance
with that of Sir George Grey, and many of the ablest
lawyers.
Horima Katene said : I am of opinion that we ought to
have more Maori members. We have at present one
Maori member for each of the two provinces of this
North Island. That is Karaitiana and Hoani Naho.
What I said yesterday was prompted by the thought that
we are now discussing matters, so that we may find how
laws may bo framed for the Maori people, and it was on
that supposition that I expressed my wish that we should
have more Maori members. As Karaitiana and Hoani are
still members, I say let us be one people with the Euro-
peans. in the one Gospel Christ. Let us be one in
body. And let the laws be framed in justice to all. Let
the younger brother and the elder brother be fostered
equally. The Maori being the elder brother and the
European being the younger. Hence, I say, Iet us be one
in one body, and those laws which bear heavily on us let
them be made lighter. And those laws which are so very
heavy on the Maori people let the House (the Parliament)
cast them aside.
Temuera said : I wish to say that I am much pleased
with the Chairma-.i and Clerk of this meeting. We say
that we have four Maori members in the Parliament. We
also wish to nave more, but we shall not be saved (derive
more benefit), if we have many Maori members. I say
this as we have no life, but we may gain life if we aid the
tribes of Taupo to put sheep on our lands, by this we shall
have all that we need, but by the members of Parliament
we shall not gain anything. I also say let the balance of
justice be kept even between us and the European, as the
law is now over us.
The meeting adjourned for an hour.
The meeting was opened at 2 p.m.
Henare Tamaonoa in the chair.
Tuwhawhakia Te Rangi said : I will speak on the
words which have been spoken. Some Bay, let us have
more members. " Some say let us keep to those we have.
I am agreeable that we have more Maori members. Per-
haps because we have so few Maori members we do not
derive any good from their being in Parliament. But if
we were to have more members, we may expect; that what
they might propose, they being many in the House they
could carry some of the matters proposed by them. Hence
I say we ought all to agree to have more members. We
are 40,000 Maori people. I also recollect that the Euro-
peans are a great people, and are many. But they come
from many lands. But we the 40.000 are all of these
Islands of New Zealand, and I say let us have more Maori
members. If we have 100 members it will be good, as we
are a people who are many in number. And if we have
many members they can help the Maori people of the
South Island, which is ready to sink. I say that because
of the few Maori members in the Parliament, they being
so few causes the other members to look on them as of no
value or beneath their notice. Mete Kingi and Tareha
were put in on the power which in those days was
wealded by Sir Donald McLean. And all the laws which
so oppress the Maori were proposed and agreed to by Sir
Donald McLean, and since then evil has come. He has
died this year, even so let his laws cease to be laws. Let
new laws ne made. It was that there were only two men
in the Parliament to represent the Maori people, that is
Mete Kingi and Tareha, that the evil laws by Sir Donald
McLean were passed. Hence I say let there be many
Maori members for us in the Parliament, so that if we do
not obtain good we shall knew that we had many to act
for us.
