TE WANANGA.
That is the reason we stated it to be only for three
months, so it will give each canoe time to send their
thoughts to us in November, dont wait till January
that will be behind the day we appoint, viz,, 25th
December which will give us time to look about. We
shall issue on the 25th December, and you will receive
the same on the 1st-January l875
i
And, if any person wishes to ask for a copy of this
paper to write his proper name, and residence, so that
we shall understand where to send them, and also
(Tainui) to send his proper name instead of (Tainui.)
Friend, the reason that each canoe (tribe) has to
state its price, is because the Press is for the whole
Island, and therefore we cannot best show these .reasons
to our canoes (tribe.)
When you vote, call together the tribe or persons
to see their votes, Magistrates, Policeman, or Chiefs
and also write their names so that we may approve of
them.
If any tribe, or hapu, do not know the meaning
of voting, and if any anxious for the Wananga, We
have elected a Committee tor the Wananga, and also a
Chairman who will have authority from the Committee,
Although they may be four or five Members, and also
write their names at the end of these, words.
Friends, If a canoe (tribe) or canoes (tribes,) are
anxious of voting that there should not be any price for
the paper, we will not accept it. There is the Post
Office it must have a stamp or else the Mail wont take
it, and also the persons who are working at the Press,
they must be paid so that will be difficulty, if you
rote that there should not be any pay for the paper.
The first voting will be for the Committee.
The second, will be for the Chairman.
Thirdly, and also a person under the Chairman,
and also others persons under them if you are anxious
for this work;
Fourly, the price for the paper, by the year or
by the month.
All the words to be looked into. And also state
your returns and the electing of the Committee, and
also send the principal word of different canoes (tribes)
and fix a proper method for us to see and think of
Friends, when you send letters to the Wananga
please direct it thus, Henry Tomoana, Pakowhai
Napier.
We have received a letter from Hori te Huki of
Wainuioru Wairarapa, stating to forward him a paper,
and also the Subscription for the paper per year.
Friend, Hori Huki your Newspaper has been
forwarded some time ago. The Subscription for the
paper per year is 10s.

To Henry Tomoana, give these words to the
Press* if you like.
DECEMBER 13th 1873.
This talk is for the letting of a portion of the big;
hush, (Pakiaka,) to Tareha to clear off his debt at
(Kotorewerohia,) I made two portions, one for sale, and
the other to clear of the debt, one portion I said to Mr.
Cashmore to be £200 for the trees which Mr. Cashmore
agreed to, afterwards I went to Mr. Cashmore for the
money which Mr. Cashmore did not give. This is the
beginning of money, and Peacocks bond viz, from
(Kotorewerohia) and goes to the (Akatarewa) from
the ( Akatarewa,) it bounds off to Tareha, for the
debt which finishes the part to Maney and Peacock.
I lined off a part for ourselves for the Maori
people. Afterwards Maney Peacock and Cashmore
went to Wellington after Tareha, when Mr. Cashmore
returned from Wellington, he gave me a letter the
contents, that the Maories will not enter the bush
(Pakiaka,) and including me also. That Tareha i
and his Europeans, (Pakeha) had let him have I
the whole of the bush, then I and my friends
went to open the line larger, This is the second.
Afterwards when Maney and Peacock's trees were
consumed, then Mr. Cashmore came to me several
times for the portion, I lined of for the Maori people,
this is the beginning of the difficulties with Mr.
Cashmore, the Europeans who were splitting shingles
for Mr. Cashmore were sent off, Mr. Cashmore went
to work again. Afterwards, 1 went to stop it, and told
Mr. Cashmore, also to cut no more of my trees, Mr.
Cashmore asked, if I would like to sell. I said I would
and payment that I liked would be an engine which
Mr. Cashmore agreed to, and Mr. Cashmore also said
to allow the men to work while he was away, and on
NO TE 26TH O NGA RA O HEPETEMA 1874.

TIHEMA 13 1873.
He korero tenei no te taenga, o Tatana raua ko te

ona kainga, ma te Pirihi ia e hopu, Muri iho ka haere
his return he would bring the engine with him, so I
allowed the men to cut the trees untill the engine came,
and Mr. Cashmore went to England.. The overseer of"
the men at work was Thomas White. I summond the-
said Europeans I gave Mr. Carlyon £3, and the case
was never heard, and Mr. Cashmores' men still at
work, there was a great deal of difficulty at the time.
I also stated to the Europeans that it was mine, from
one place to another it was mine, and this is also mine
which you are working at, and the Europeans told me
that it was all Maney's, and not the Natives, but the
Europeans still worked., Then 1 went and broke the
European's tramway up, when Maney heard of this he
came and brought £20 that money was to stoften me
down and to allow Mr. Cashmores' men to work, there
was great difficulty and I did not take the money. I
went to Napier afterwards Martin Hamlin came also
with £30 to soften me, and to allow Mr. Cashmore's
men to work at the trees, I did not like the said money.
When Mr. Cashmore returned from England he found
his mill standing idle He cut the trees down, so now
I was much agrived at Mr. Cashmore's doings. I
went and got an Injunction to stop the bush, and then
Mr. Cashmore said to me that I had nothing at all to
do with it, that the bush was Sutton's, which I said no,,
it was mine, and Sutton bad nothing to do with it
whatever, and the land was mine, Mr. Cashmore
persisting to cut the trees, then I put it in Mr. Carlyon's
hands and have these difficulties settled. The Lawyer
had all to do with it from then to the breaking of the
tramways, and to when Mr. Cashmore knocked off
work, and also to the. time the Supreme Court can see.
to fix. payment.
DECEMBER 13th 1873.
This talk is when Sutton and Worgan came to my
house, They came for my Crown Grant of Mangatere-
tere, and they also spoke of another thing for me to
take, Mr. Sutton has a backer and summons, Mr.
Tanner akout (Heretaunga) which I asked if Mr.
Sutton was a Magistrate to which Mr. Worgan replied,
I would not be strong, that he was very • intelligent,
Thirdly, that I and (Ahere) should give our Crown
Grants to Mr. Sutton, as a guard, I told him that we
had a guard for our Crown Grants that was Mr.
Williams and Worgan said no give it to Mr. Sutton,
and lease it for .0 years at £500, per year. And divide
it 5 for you, and 5 for (Ahere,,) To this I replied that
there could not be two leases, Mr. Williams and yours,
Sutton and Worgan replied what is the good of Mr.
Williams, that Mr. Williams was a bad person, a
robber. It is two years and a half and. you have
received no money for your land from Mr. Williams,
but you assent and I will write a note to Mr. Williams
to give me the money and I will give it to you, I said
to them that I did not alike what they said, and that
Mr. Williams also would not assent, Mr. Sutton then
said if Mr. Williams would not assent, that his place
will be seized and a policeman will catch him. After-
wards I went to Napier, Mr. Sutton. caught me, and:
(Ahere,) to go to his office, I asked him where that

house was, Mr. Sutton said here, to the house of the
Law, I asked him what was the talking about, he said
anything, so I went to the house, they wrote a paper,
we did not know what it was for, when the paper was
finished he. gave me a pen, and I said to him that I
did not know the contents of the paper, and also the
giving of the pen to me, but read the contents of the
paper so that I could hear what was in the paper,
These was the statement in the paper," five hundred for
you and five hundred for (Ahere,) I ask him, you
arranged that money, Worgan said that him and
Sutton made it, and it was a right arrangement of
theirs, I said who arranged it, it was not me, this work
of yours is a fraud, I went out to the town, Worgan
followed me and pulled me into Simon's public house
and made me drink spirits, which they gave me three
glasses of rum, BO I was totally intoxicated, I did not
know that I signed a paper, they perhaps wrote it, and
took it to the Commissioner, some days afterwards I
heard of it by another European who stated that I was
in a large paper, then I and (Raihania) went to Napier
when we got to the Court house, 1 asked the European
to give me the paper that my name was into which the
European replied it, if I payed, he would give it, I gave
the shilling, and ke gave me the paper when mv hand
reached the sheet that my name was in, I asked him if
he would allow me to rub my name out of the paper,
that my name was fraudly put in the paper, I also said
will you give me the paper and tear it, which he did
not grant, Mr. Wilson came and said no I said to him

SEPTEMBER 30th 1874.
To Henry Tomoana, and also all the Chiefs and
tribes, Friend, Greeting to yon, under the shadow of
our Saviour who saved us from being beguiled, I
thought by his goodness he would save us by our
custom, but he can save us by our continuing praying
to him. This is my Greeting to the great knowledge
which you have received at this time of dark, and
pain that press us, namely the abundance of Laws of
(Pakeha) friends. But our darkness and pain
is born to the world, the Wananga whom you
have sent fruit so that these tribes can see, but it is
right a proverb ako says, that your ancestor the
(Whakatatare) be at this point, and (Ngarangi-wha-
kaupoko) at that point. The stakes of his net, but
it is pulled only at that end, and the fish is caught
and put on shore, which is called a (Atihakono) his
child is the Wananga, The fish at this end, and the
middle that we are now catching are sharks, sting-rays,
(Kopuatotara, Punga's,) bad fishes, their children are
Liquor, adultery, theft, when the sun sets, these
fishes are caught. Bat these fishes are caught also
in the day time, the likeness of them that catch, these
fish is like the (Koura maraa) to look at. Friends,
enough, of these weak words. I feel ashamed oi
your great work, and also that wealth for us, the
burthen, for our canoe which, you tell us to send a
load, let it be left until we seek for some presently.
From your friend,
Kerehona Piwaka.

To BISHOP WILLIAMS,
Friend, Greeting to you and also Mrs. Williams.
Friend, here is my letter to you, to tell.to all the
Maori tribes of your District when you see them,
there is no other person, that I can. write to, but you.
My dear Friends, who are staying at the South end
of our Island. Salutation to you, there is perhaps
some old people of that end that remembers the
great -works of our Father the Rev. Williams had
done in former days, when be was travelling from
oue place to another, amongst Armys, (Ope taua) to
press down the evils and revealing, also the direct
course how to be saved. However, this is a though
from our hearts and to his great works in controling
God's rules, and good roles which saved us, and by
which we quietly cast a side our former rules, but
it is not only that point we think of, but we look a
the 50 years which has passed over. When this
Island was covered with, great clouds of evils, but he
never preserved MB body, and worked with the
raruraru o tenei Motu, Mehemea pea ka rite te whaka-
haere a te Motu katoa nei, tena ano e puta he oranga
mo tatou, Otira kei te mahi te tikanga.
Heoi, ona kupu, na to, hoa.
Na Perenara te Tewe.
