sactions of the Maori people have had a bitter experi-
ence of the folly of war. They have seen the de-
struction, which it has brought down upon life and
property, even in such small matters as our New Zea-
land wars. They can form some idea of what waste
of blood and treasure is now about to take place in
Europe when we tell them that, even if the war be
confined to Russia and Turkey alone, the number of
armed men who will be arrayed against each other
will be much greater than the total population, men
women and children of both races, in those Islands.
Beneath the polish of our present civilization there
still can be discerned the same passions and instincts
which governed our barbaric ancestors. It is even
now as true in modern Europe as it is in New Zea-
land "that land and women are the causes of all
evils." The present contest is really a fight for
territory, and the Russian thinks that the time has
at last come when he makes himself master of Con-
stantinople, the capital of the Turkish Empire. Eng-
land and Austria will look on with jealous eye . If
the Turks are to be driven out of Europe. England is
the power which, in the interests of civilized nations. '••
should possess Constantinople. It is quite possible
that England and other European nations may be
drawn into the struggle, and if the other Mahomedan
people regard the war as a Holy war the Turks
will receive assistance from every part of Asia and
Africa, now occupied, by their co-religionists. For
the sake of the colonies, it is to be hoped that Eng-
land may be able to accomplish her ends without
becoming involved in war.
TE HOHIPERA KI WIAPUKURAU.
No TE Turei, no te 26, o Aperira nei i turia ai to hui
nui a nga rangatira o Waipukurau, kia mahia he Ho-
hipera mo nga turoro o te iwi ki reira. I turia tana
hui ki te whare huihui mo te iwi i reira, ko Henare
Hata te Tumuaki o taua hui. A i tae a Te Hapuku
ki tana hui a e mea ana matou. he pai kia puta te
whakaaro a nga iwi Maori ki taua Hohipera : a kia
homai moni nga iwi Maori mo taua Hohipera hei utu
mo te mahinga, a mo nga mea e ora ai nga turoro, he
mea hoki, ko nga turoro Maori o tae ki taua Hohipera.
kia ora ai a ratou mate. E kiia ana ko te wahi o
tana Hohipera e noho ai te Maori, ka meinga kia
motuhake ko i to te Pakeha taha o tana whare Hohi-
pera, kia pai ai, kia noho atahua ai te Maori i tona
wahi e noho ai. a kia tae tika ai, a kia pai ai te kai, o
tae ata ana ki aua turoro Maori. Kua tae nga moni
tini maha a nga Pakeha kai mahi o nga paamu, nae
nga kai mahi i te Taone mo taua Hohipera. A kua
tuku moni nui ano hoki nga rangatira Pakeha ki taua
Hohipera. A e ki ana nga Pakeha, koia na he tauira
ma te Maori, kia hoatu ai he mohi a te Maori ki tana
Hohipera, hei o, a hei pai mo a te Maori turoro e noho
ai i taua Hohipera.
Na Henare Rata i tuku nga eka whenua e 5 mo
taua Hohipera. He mea hoatu noa aua eka e 5 e
Henare Rata, kahore kau he utu kia Henare Rata mo
taua whenua. He mea hoki nana kia wawe ai te tu
he Hohipera ki taua takiwa hei pai, a hei ora mo nga
iwi Maori, me nga iwi Pakeha katoa.
WAIPUKURAU HOSPITAL.
Ax influential meeting of persons desirous of erecting
a hospital for the sick at Waipukurau was held in
the new Townhall, at Waipukurau, on Tuesday, the
26th April, the Hon. H. R. Russell in the chair.
Amongst the persons present we observed Te
Hapuku, and we hope to see the Natives coming
forward with liberal subscriptions to assist in
the building of the hospital, and also towards
defraying the expense of carrying it on. We
understand it is contemplated to erect a part
of the hospital expressly for Maori patients,
where they can receive medical attendance and proper
food when suffering from sickness or accident. The
working men among the European popular have
subscribed their money freely, as well as the more
wealthy settlers, and we hope to see the Maoris
imitate such a good example. A site of five acres of
ground has been presented gratuitously by the Hon.
H. R. Russell, and we hope are long to see such a
valuable institution in actual operation at Waipuku-
rau and accessible to the inhabitants of both races in
the surrounding districts.
TE MAHI POOTI MO TE TAKIWA KI
WAIPUKURAU.
HE MEA whakawa e Te Pitamu, Kai-whakawa Tuturu,
nga take i kiia, i mahia hetia te mahi Pooti mo te
takiwa ki Waipukurau. He mea hoki na Henare
Rata, kia kore e tu a Te Honiana i taua takiwa. A
he nui noa atu nga mahi i mahia pohehetia i taua
mahi Pooti i whaakina ki taua whakawa. A e kiia
ano pea kia mahi Pooti ano te iwi i te tangata mo
taua takiwa, a ma reira e raruraru ai ano nga mahi o
te iwi mahi, a e pau huahua kore ai nga moni o te iwi
i te mahi pohehe o aua Pooti. Ko Te Hiana te Roia,
a Henare Rata i taua whakawa.
WAIPUKURAU RIDING ELECTION FOR THE
WAIPAWA COUNTY COUNCIL.
AN enquiry was held before R. Beetham. Esq., R.M.,
into the alleged irregularities of this election, on the
appeal of the Hon. H. R. Russell, who sought to set
aside the return of Mr. Johnston. A most extraor-
dinary state of things was discussed by the evidence
taken during the enquiry, and there is every probability
that the election will ne for the second time declared
null and void, thereby causing much inconvenience
and expense to the County Council, as well as to the
candidates and electors. Mr. Sheehan conducted the
case for Mr. Russell.
NGA MEA E KIIA ANA KIA MAHIA E TE
KAWANATANGA A TE TUUNGA O TE
PAREMATA O TENEI TAU.
HE MEA pakiki o nga Pakeha o Taranaki kia korero a
Meiha Atikina, te Tumuaki o te Kawanatanga kia
korero aia i nga korero a te Kawanatanga. He mea
karanga aia e aua Pakeha kia kai aia i to Tina i

Karauria : E koreko ake ana au i tenei rarangi. Ko te
Atua o te Pakeha kei Poneke, ara, ko te Paremata, na reira
tatou whakamate, kua korerotia atu aua Ture ki reira, na
Karaitiana i pikau atu. Ko taku mahara kia maha he
Mema mo tatou, kei pera me Tareha raua ko Mete Kingi,
kei waiho hei amuamu. E pai ana kia noho tatou i roto o
tenei whare kia korero tatou i ia tau i ia tau, kaore au e
korero mo te moni ma nga Mema, kaati te moni ma ratou
ko nga mate o Aotearoa. I mua. i te mea o whai whenua
ana, he taunaha te mahi a te Kawanatanga i nga rangatira.
Inaianei, tahuri ke ana, kua oti noa atu a tatou korero mo

nga hoa, na, e mea ana hoki au me whakatu ano he Mema
hou kia tokomaha ai nga Mema, kia mohio atu ai tatou kei

ki Pakowhai, me whakahou ano. I to tatou taenga ki
Nepia i te matenga o Te Makarini, i korero atu tatou, kua
mate a Te Makarini, me mate hoki ana Ture, ara, ana Ture
i mate ai te Motu nei, ko tenei, kua mate ia, hunaia atu
ana Ture, me hanga he Ture hou, ma tatou nga Ture mo
tatou e hanga, ma te Pakeha nga Ture mo ratou e hanea,
ka kawe ai ki te Paremata, ko nga Ture katoa mo tatou ko
te Pakeha hei hanga, kia kuru haere i runga i a tatou. E
marama ana i ahau te whakahou atu ano i nga Ture mo
tatou; kua tukua ra e tatou ki te Paremata, he whaka
atu ano hoki tenei, ko nga korero mo nga mahi Pooti, he
mea oti noa atu.

whaiti, kei te korara noa atu. kua tu o tatou Mema e wha,

mo te hipi, mo te aha, mo te aha atu.
Reihana Te Ikatahi : Mo nga Mema e korerotia nei,
mehemea pea i a tatou te maua mo te Pooti Mema, ka
Pooti noa atu ia iwi ia iwi ka tika ta Henare Matua e
korero nei.
Renata Pukututu : Ahakoa kua pau i a Henare aku
kupu te korero, ka ki ake ano au, kua tono tatou i te
hui, ahakoa rae tono ano tatou inaianei, kua tae ta Taiaroa
tono, rite tonu ki ta tatou, me tono ano tatou kia kapiti ai
ki ta Taiaroa, me te tono tonu tatou, a ia tau, a ia tau, kia

ake ko tenei rarangi e whakaatu tonu ana i te huarahi mo
tatou.

e mea nei, kia hangaa he Ture hou mo nga whenua
Maori, ka whakaae au kia tukua he tono, kia homai he
Ture hou.

Whenua, ko tenei e kore au e peehi i taku ki.

iwi ki tenei hui. E whakaae ana ahau ki tenei rarangi,
he mea naku kia tae ai enei ritenga ki tera Porowini, na
. konei au ka whakaae ki tenei take korero.
• Henare Matua : Kia marama, ko te Ture kia hangaa, ko
i tetahi Ture mo nga whenua, kua oti te whakawa mo nga
whenua porowhita, mo nga whenua papatupu, mau e kawe

THE NATIVE MEETING AT OMAHU.
———*———
OMAHU, March 10 1877.
Karauria said : I will speak to the motion before the
meeting. The god of the Europeans is at Wellington,
that is the Parliament, and it is by it that we are worsted.
Those laws have been spoken of there by Karaitiana. I
think that we ought to have many Maori members least
we be as we were in the time when Tareha and Mete
Kingi were members of that Parliament, so that we may
not have cause to murmur against the Maori members. I
say it is good that we should hold such meetings as this
year after year, and to speak our thoughts. 1 will not
speak in regard to the money for the members. Enough
for them is the money in the evils which have and are on
this North Island. In the days when the chiefs had land,
the Government mortgaged the obedience of the chiefs,
but now the Government turn another way. We are fully
agreed to the point which we are now discussing, and all
we have to do is to give our consent.
Hoani Tokotoko said : I rise to speak on the matters
which we discussed at the meeting at Pakowhai. The
matters in respect to the Maori members was there agreed
to by us, and sent to the Parliament: but the Parliament
did not agree to them. But that Parliament has been
dissolution, and that man (Sir Donald McLean) is
dead, and his Government has also expired. So ends that.
Now there is a new Government, hence, I say, let us have
many more new Maori members, so that we may see if
this new Government have any good intentions towards
us, and will consent to what we now ask. And we now
inake an attempt to find out how far they will act towards
us in kindness. Let Karaitiana and the present Maori
members be as they are, but let us have more Maori mem-
bers with them, so that Karaitiana and his friends may
have more assistance.
Petera Rangihiroa said : I again Pay in respect to the
fourth subject which is before this meeting, and which
speaks in regard to the power to vote, I say let us do as it
suggests, and let us again ask.
Tareha Te Moananui said : I again rise to speak on the
same subject as that on which I spoke yesterday. What
I wish to say is that there is not any difficulty in the
matter, and that we can renew our request in regard to
the various points which we sent from the Pakowhai
meeting, When we went to the town of Napier, at the
time of the death of Sir D. McLean, we said he was dead.
Even so let his laws die, that is the laws by which evil
has been brought on these islands. And as he is dead, so
let his laws be hid also. And let new laws be made, and
let us make new laws for ourselves?, and let the Europeans
make laws for themselves. We can then send ours to the
the Parliament tu be confirmed. All the laws which have
been enacted for us have been made by the Europeans,
and such laws grind us down. I am clear on this point.
that we renew our laws : these laws which we have
already sent to the Parliament, I propose that we send
them back. As to the matter in respect to the power to
vote, that can be done with little difficulty.
Henare Matua said : I say that we have not made any
one point very clear, which we have discussed. We
wander far from the matter under discussion. We have
four members in Parliament, and when our request to
have more Maori members is agreed to by the Parliament
we can then speak about sheep and any other matter.
Reihana Ikatahi said : In regard to that part of the
present discussion which refers to the members, if we had
all the power, and could vote as we like, that is if each
tribe had the power to vote, then what Henare Matua has
just now said might be done
Renata Pukututu said : Although the words I was going
to speak have been uttered by Henare Matua, still I will
say something. Though we have asked, still let us ask
again to-day. Taiaroa has made a request like ours. Let
us ask again, and let us join Taiaroa in his request. Let
us ask year after year till we have our request granted.
Karaitiana Takamoana said : I will explain the matter
in respect to the fourth subject, and then put it to the
meeting, which can pass it or not. The meeting agreed
that, a request should be sent to the Parliament.
The Chairman then read and put subject number five to
the meeting for discussion.
Petera Rangihiria said : I will speak about the fifth
subject. I say this subject shews us how we are to act.
Henare Matua said : I agree to the proposal contained
in the fifth subject for discussion, which says it is desir-
able that some new laws ought to be made for tha Native
lands. I agree that we send a request that some new
laws may be made for the Native lands.
Manaena Tini said : I also agree with the request con-
tained in the fifth subject. But do not send any request
from this meeting to the Parliament, rather send it to the
Honorable F. Whitaker, because he is the man who has
to take action in such matters in the first instance. Let
the matters which we spoke of at the meeting at Pako-
whai be sent to the Parliament.
Renata Pukututu said : I consent that we ask the Hon.
F. Whitaker that a new law be made for the Native
lands.
Horima Katene said : I agree that this should be sent
to the House, as I am quite clear on the subject.
Tuwhawhakia te Rangi said : I quite agree with these
words, and I say send them to that House (the Parlia-
ment). I aru not certain which way would be best, to
send them to the House, or to the Europeans, who may
send them to the House.
Moroati said : I have said let the Native Lands Court
cease to act. I shall not, therefore, now stultify my own
word.
Te Oti Takarangi said : I do not agree with the Native
Lands Court. Nor shall I contradict what I have before
said on this subject.
Ngaihi said : There is not anything in the fifth subject
i to contradict. As it does nut refer to the land not yet
acted on by the law.
Hanita te Aweawe : I was sent here by our tribe. I
agree to the proposals contained in this subject, and that
the action proposed may be acted on in this province.
Hence I agree with it.
Henare Matua said : Let us be clear on this subject.
The law that is to be made, let it be for the lands
which have passed the Native Lands Court. For reserve»,
and for lands which have not passed the Native Lands
Court, such lauds if taken into the Native Lands Court
and acted on, then and not till then will the law act on
such. These tribes condemn the acts of the present Na-
tive Lauds Court These tribes condemn the acts of
the present Native Lands Court, as the Court in these
days acts in regard to the lands which have not
passed the Court.
Anatipa said : I agree to the subject now before this
meeting, as it intends to correct the evils of the present
laws in regard to Native lands.
The Chairman put the question to the meeting in regard
to the subject number five. And it was unanimously
agreed to send it to the Parliament.
Subject number six was then read, and put to the meet-
ing by the Chairman for discussion.
This subject was not discussed, but the meeting gave
three cheers for Karaitiana, which the meeting intended
as an expression of their pleasure of his being their Maori
member in Parliament.
The seventh subject was then read by the Chairman,
and put to the meeting for discussion.
Henare Matua said : There is not any point in this sub-
ject about which we can have two opinions. I propose
hat the Chairman put it to the meeting.

TE WANANGA.
It was put to the meeting by the Chairman, and passed
without one desentent voice.
The eight subject was then read and put to the meeting
by the Chairman.
Henare Matua said : I fully endorse the proposal con-
tained in this subject, and the reason for my consenting
to it is this. There are two men who are being tried, the
Maori and the European. The Maori is being tried by a
jury composed entirely of Europeans. There is not a
Maori in any jury. Hence I fully concur in the proposal
contained in this eight subject.
HUPIRIMI KOOTI.
Akarana 10 Aperira 1877
He Whakawa mo te Kohuru.
No te I0 o te haora o te ata i turia ai te whakawa.

tamaiti Maori ko Kapara te ingoa, a kotahi whare o raua
ko Te Patui i noho ai i aua ra, i te mea heoi ra ano te
whare e noho ai raua. No te 9, no te 10 ranei o nga haora
i tae ake ai te Pirihimana ki aia kia Te Honihana. a haere
ana aia ki te whare herehere, a rokohanga atu eia kua
mate a Te Mokena A ka rongo aia kua oma a Te Patui. A
nana na Te Honihana i mea kia mahia te korero ki te Waea,
kia rongo ai te iwi katoa. E ahua mahanahana ana te tinana
a Te Mokena i reira, a i poke katoa nga kakahu i te toto,
kahore i ahatia te tinana o te tupapaku eia. No te aonga
ake o te ra, ka haere tahi raua ko Takuta Waritanga ki te
titiro i te tupapaku, ko te takoto o te tupapaku i takoto ki
te taha maui, ko te upoko i tu a wharawa, a ko te ringa
maui i takoto ki runga ki te tinana o te tupapaku, kotahi

SUPREME COURT, AUCKLAND.
April 10.
His Honor took his seat at ten o'clock.
Wilful Murder.
Te Patui (18), a native, described as a labourer, was
arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with folon-
iously and wilfully murdering Samuel Morgan, on the
20th February last.
The prisoner, through Mr. Brown, the Native Interpre-
ter, pleaded not guilty.
The jury were then empannelled, consisting of Messrs.
C. Goodwyn, John Ryan, Thomas Gedge, Benj. McKerras,
Viva. F. Jones, Thos. Howell, Wm. Nichols, jun., Wm.
Rosser, Alfred Payne, Sam Brown, Sam Mead, Foreman,
James Soppet.
Mr. Hesketh defended the prisoner.
Mr. Brookfield, Crown Prosecutor, detailed the circum-
stances of the crime as will appear in the following evi-
dence.
Richard Sanderson, sergeant in the Armed Constabu-
lary, in the month of February, he was gaoler of the New-
castle gaol, and in that month had in his custody the
prisoner at the bar, and a Maori boy, named Kapara. The
prisoner and the boy at that time occupied one cell. It
was the only cell to keep prisoners in, excepting the lock-
up. Between 9 and 10, the constable came to him, and
a few minutes after he returned, and from what he re-
ported he accompanied him back to the gaol, and found
Morgan dead, and learned that the prisoner, Patui, had
escaped. He immediately set the wires at work. He
found the body still warm, and nearly covered with blood
He did not move the body. On the next morning, with
Dr. Waddington, he made a full examination. The body
was in the same position—on the left side, the head
slightly fallen back, the left arm was partly on the body,
There was one wound over the right ear, as though a
tomahawk had been buried iu the skull. There were two
wounds in the neck and one in the breast. There was no
evidence of a struggle. A tomahawk such as that pro-
duced would, in his opinion, cause such wounds. The
clothes were partly over the body of deceased. He found
the tomahawk at the back of the gaol, by a rope with
which prisoner had escaped from the gaol. He also found
prisoner's trousers in the cell (produced, stained with
blood). The tomahawk was kept with other tools, in the
kitchen outside the gaol. These tools are used by priso-
ners at their work. It is the duty of the warder to see
that the prisoners leave their tools in the kitchen on re-
turning from their labor. The window was broken out-
wards where prisoner escaped (plan of gaol put in, drawn
by Sergeant Sanderson).
Cross-examined by Mr. Hesketh : He did not under-
stand Maori. The prisoner and Morgan used the kitchen.
He locked the prisoners up that night at half-past seven :
o'clock. ;
To his Honor : The prisoners had been at work that ,
day, and did not use the tomahawk. They were using it
in cutting ti-tree a few days before, and that was the last
time it was in use. The prisoner frequently used it in
chopping firewood outside the kitchen.
Abraham Hobson, constable and warder of the gaol,
deposed : Oa the 20th February be had the prisoner and
Samuel Morgan in charge. Morgan was brought in on
the 13th February ; the lad Kapara was in gaol up to the
17th. He never heard any quarrelling between Kapara
and Morgan. On the evening of the 20th the prisoner
and Morgan returned from work together at half-past five
o'clock, and subsequently had tea together. He did not
hear anything to lead him to suppose that there was ill-
feeling between them. The gaol was locked up at half-
past seven, and Sergeant Sanderson took the keys. At
9.50 he returned to the gaol and found it still locked. He
went into the yard, and stepped on a piece of glass, and
on looking up at prisoner's window saw that it was
broken. Went into prisoners cell, and found Morgan
lying dead on his bed. He then locked tbe door and
went and informed Sergeant Sanderson. He did not touch
the body. Saw the wounds as described by last witness.
Found that prisoner had escaped. Got a horse and went
in pursuit of him. He last saw the tomahawk in the
kitchen, and was not aware that it had been taken out of
the kitchen. On the evening of the murder, prisoner
asked if Morgan might sleep in the small cell that night.
He said no, he could not. The trousers and boots (pro-
duced) belonged to Samuel Morgan. He had worn them
during the day. He missed a double-barrelled gun from
the store, but did not miss it until his return from pursu-
ing the prisoner. Found Morgan's clothes in the yard
under the store window. Saw a rope tied from the top or
the chimney, which prisoner had used in making bis
escape. The Crimean shirt found upon the prisoner was
Morgan's shirt. (Witness here minutely described the
building and premises, at the request of Mr. Brookfield).
To Mr. Hesketh : Morgan and prisoner had slept to-
gether, but at Morgan's special request he allowed him on
the previous nght to sleep in the adjoining little cell, as
the prisoner was sick, and caused a most offensive smell.
Ke had known Morgan previourly to being admitted to
the prison. He could not speak Maori, but often heard
Morgan and prisoner talking together; they seemed very
friendly.
To the Foreman : It was the custom for prisoners to
leave their tools in the kitchen on leaving work.
Kapara, a Maori lad, was sworn, and deposed that he
was a prisoner in the gaol up to the 17th. He heard of
Morgan being killed after he left. Morgan was in gaol
with him. One day, while at work with prisoner and
other Europeans, prisoner proposed that the policeman
(Hobson) should be killed. He said : Friend, if we kill
the constable we shall surely die. He said we can rua
away, and shall not be caught. He (Kapara) said : How
shall we not be caught? Prisoner replied: We can
escape to the mountains. Morgan was not then in gaol.
Morgan came in the next day, and joined them in their
work in cutting ti-tree. When Morgan was taking
blankets in, prisoner said, " Friend, let us kill these Euro-
peans, and escape." He refused.
To Mr. Hesketh : The Europeans were Morgan and the
warder. He did not say how they were to be killed. He
appeared serious. He did seem as if he were jesting. He
could not read his feelings. Prisoner's friends live in the
King country.
Edward Waddington, duly-qualified medical practi-
tioner, of Hamilton, deposed to being called to view the
body of the murdered man. He then described the
wounds and position of the body. Found four wounds;
one on the temple, three inches and half in length. He
could not tell the depth, as the instrument had been
buried in the skull. Voluntary motion would be destroyed
at once, and immediate death caused by such a blow. Dr.
Waddington went on to describe the other wounds, which
would also have a fatal effect, with the exception of the
wound in the chest. He believed that the would over
the ear was the first wound given. He should say that
tae man was asleep when the blow was given, from the
appearance of the features, and position of the body. Had
death not been immediate, traces of pain would have been
found upon the features. Had made a post-mortem ex-
amination, and found no indication of an internal disease
likely to cause death. Had do doubt but death resulted
from the injuries received, and that these injuries were
caused by the tomahawk.
To Mr. Hesketh : He had known Morgan for twelve
years, and had often conversed with him. He was a man
of education, and fond of talking.
Thomas Kirk, constable in the Armed Constabulary, at
Alexandra. On the night of the 20th he was informed of

the murder. He immediately went to Livingstone's farm,
at Stoney Creek, in company with Henry Norgrove.
Shortly after, he heard a dog bark at a distance of 500 '
yards. He presently heard the feet of a horse on the
stones of the creek ; it was a very dark hight. He and
Norgrove were concealed near the old Maori track. We
next went to a point where the horse would come along
through a gap. They seized the horse and the prisoner
who was riding. Immediately something like a stick fell
upon his head. He struck a light and saw that his pris-
oner was Patui. They took him to Livingstone's house.
In the morning he went to the spot where they had seized
the Maori and found the fowling-piece, which had been
identified by Constable Hobson. He found a shawl upon
prisoner, also boots and trousers belonging to Morgan. He
noticed spots of blood upon prisoner's shirt. On the 21st
he took the prisoner to the lock-up at Alexandra, where
he was interviewed by Major Mair in his presence. The
Major cautioned the prisoner.
Henry Norgrove, settler at Alexandra, assisted in cap-
turing the prisoner, who was left in his charge while the
constable went to the spot of the arrest. He asked the
prisoner if he killed Morgan : he said yes, because Morgan
had cursed him. He killed him with "the tomahawk. He
said he had stolen the horse from a stable. Heard
prisoner tell Major Mair that he had killed Morgan be-
cause of the curse upokokohua, meaning " I'll put your
head in a pot and boil it," which the Maoris consider a
great curse.
This was the evidence. Mr. Hesketh then addressed
the jury for the defence.
His Honor, in summing up the evidence, told the jury
that they were bound to consider the case in accordance
with law, with English law, and not according to Maori
law or Maori customs or ideas. Wilful murder in law
implied malice aforethought, and the question as to what
was lawful provocation, was clearly laid down. The
prisoner admitted that he killed the man, Morgan, with
the tomahawk : the defence set up was that the sur-
rounding circumstances were of such a character as to
warrant the reduction of the crime of murder to one of
manslaughter. His Honor also shewed that no language,
however strong, was sufficient to justiiy murder. His
Honor then proceeded very carefully to invertigate and
remark upon the facts of the case, and said that the jury
were bound to administer the law as it is. hut if they saw
any reason for reducing the crime to one of manslaughter
they were bound to give the prisoner the benefit of that
doubt.
The jury retired at 2.50 to consider their verdict, and
returned at 3.15 with a verdict of " Wilful Murder."
On being asked if he bad anything to say why the sen-
tence of the Court should not be passed upon him. pris-
oner said " No.''
SENTENCE OF DEATH.
His Honor, addressing the prisoner, said after a patient
trial and an able defence by counsel, the jury had found
him guilty of wilful murder. Such a treacherous killing
in cold blood is, according to English as well as Maori
law, murder, and he must know according to these laws.
the punishment of the crime of murder is death. The
sentence of law which he should now pass (here His
Honor put on the black cap), was that he be taken to the
gaol from whence he came, and there to be hung by the
neck until he was dead.
The prisoner evidenced no emotion, and was then re-
moved.

CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Give a place in TE WANANGA for the following :—
This is a notice so that all may know it. Gold has been
found by an European. It was found in the Porangahau dis-
trict. That money (the gold) was like the gravel in size. He
(the finder) also had a bag of stones, which were white,
which he said was quartz. That .European said it was found
twenty miles from Porangahau. That European said that he
has surveyed a piece of land for himself, 100 feet long by 100
feet broad. When the Maoris said to him that he must show
the place where the gold was found, he answered that he
would not show it. The Maori said it was good, we did
think you would show it so that we the two people (Maori
and European) might have property in it. The European
ran (or went) away with his money (gold). If that European
comes, do not give him the Government reward. That man
has a red head, is six feet high, and his name is Teene ? (Mr.
Tierney, or Kane). If you see that he really has gold keep
it, and take care of it in your possession. That European
went on to our land without authority. He also took our
spade, dish, and an American axe, and some of our food, and
then he ran away into the forest, where he could dig secretly
on our land. If that European comes with his gold, if it ia
really gold, take charge of him, so that we may hear where
he has obtained, the gold.—Enough, from
