ject of a Coroner's Inquest which is the first
stage of inquiry, in ail cases of violent death,
whether from accident or premeditated pur-
pose.
It is the duly of a Coroner to go to the
place where any person is slain or suddenly
dead, and, by his warrant to the constables
of the place, to summon a Jury out of the
neighbouring places to make inquiry upon
view of the body; and be and the Jury are
to enquire into the manner of killing and all
circumstances that occasioned the party's
death: who were present, whether the dead
person was known, where be lay the night
before, and to examine the body for signs of
violence. When the Jury have brought in
their verdict, the Coroner is to return the
inquisition to the next assizes, where the mur-
derer or murderers may be proceeded against.
If a body liable to an inquest has been
buried before the Coroner has notice of the
death he has authority to cause it to be
disinterred for the purpose of holding the
inquest, provided he does so within a rea-
sonable time. Such are the objects of a
Coroner's Inquest.
We have drawn the native attention thus
particularly to the functions of the Coroner,
to demonstrate the importance of the inquiries
instituted by that officer, and to show that
they are the primary means demanded for
the furtherance of justice. Of this fact, and
of the absolute necessity for the exhibition
of the body to a Coroner's Jury. Englishmen
of all classes are so fully aware that the du-
ties of the Coroner have ever commanded
their entire confidence and respect, inasmuch
as they afford the surest protection to their
lives and safeties. The native people have yet
to learn the great value of the Coroner's In-
quest. It is a system of judicature unknown
to them; and, although in the case of. Te
Kopi, they submitted to its operations, at the
urgent remonstrance of their best and truest
counsellors, still they did so with impatience;
whilst, in that of the unfortunate woman

osity which leads a Coroner's Jury to ex-
amine a corpse. They do so in order that
they may be aided in ascertaining the manner
of the death of the deceased, and in detect-
ing the person of  the murderer. That duly
done, the body is placed at the disposal of
its friends for the purpose of unobstructed
interment, according to their owa partica-
Iar customs.
The report of the trial of Marsden taken
from the " New Zealander" newspaper of
the 5th December. will be printed in the
next number of the Maori Messenger.
The trial was one of unusual interest. The
Court House was densely crowded; and in
addition to the common class of spectators,
the following native Chiefs were present, and
occupied seals in the Grand Jury Box:—
Te Puehu, Te Wiremu, Te Tonga, Hau-
kete, Te Hikamate, Hotere Te Rakau
Whakaware. Rameha, Tahatika, Tamati
Whareturere, Wiremu Maihi Rangikaheke,
Te Ao.
Many other natives were present in the
body of the Court. And several influential
Chiefs were made Special constables for the
occasion. Of these, the two principal were
Taiapo and Te Hura, and the manner in
which they superintended and preserved
order among their people was such as to en-
title them to the commendation of all clas-
ses. Indeed, upon this lamentable occasion,
whether outside or inside the  Court House,
or at their temporary encampments at Coo-
pers Bay, and other places adjoining the
town, nothing could exceed the decorum of
the native population. The same reliance
in the justice of the Queen's government so
conspicuous in the demeanour of the Waikato
tribes upon a former occasion, was no less
remarkable or honourable to the Rotorua
natives drawn together to learn the result of
the trial of the wretched man who had im-
brued his hands with the blood of one of their
people.
As a testimony of the high appreciation
in which  the native character is held in En-
gland, it affords us much pleasure to lay be-
fore our readers the following copy of a des-
patch addressed to his Excellency Governor
Gore Brown by Lord John Russell her
Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colo-
nies.

HIS HONOR'S ADDRESS TO THE MAORI
CHIEFS ATTENDING THE TRIAL OF
CHARLES MARSDEN.
You have had an opportunity to day of
witnessing the manner in which offenders
against the Law are brought to Trial in our
English Courts.
The person accused has a written charge
laid against him before a number of Gentle-
men brought together for the purpose (called
a Grand Jury) who hear the Evidence, and
if they see that there is sufficient proof of bis
guilt to justify bis being put upon his trial
before the Court they bring that written
charge into Court, and say, that "they find
a true Bill against the Prisoner." This
written charge is called an Indictment.
The Prisoner is then brought into Court
and the  written charge or Indictment is read
over to him and he is asked by the Registrar
of the Court, whether be is guilty or not
guilty,
If he says that he is not guilty, twelve
persons selected by lot from twenty four,
who have been summoned in their turn to
attend are called into the Jury Box, and they
are sworn, as in he presence of God, that
they-will return a true verdict, that is, that
they will speak the truth, when they say
that the Prisoner is guilty or not guilty.
But before they are sworn, he Prisoner may
object to any one of those Jurymen, because
he might be bis enemy and he might disre-
gard his oath, and say that the Prisoner was
guilty when perhaps be was innocent.
The places of the Jurymen so objected to
are supplied by lot till twelve remain against
whom there has been no objection.

TE KARERE MAORI.
When the Jury are sworn, which is on
the gospels of God, which they hold in their
right band. he Registrar reads over to them
the Indictment and the trial begins.
Some Barrister, who conducts the Prose-
cution, then states to he Jury, what he can
prove against the Prisoner, and he calls a
Witness, who goes into he Witness Box,
when he is sworn on the Holy Gospels to
speak he truth, and nothing but the truth.
When he has answered all he questions
put to him by he Counsel for he Prosecution
the Prisoner asks him any questions, which
he thinks will prove that he is not guilty.
The Prisoner may ask these questions him-
self, or he may employ some Counsel to put
them Tor him. This is wisely and humanely
permitted by our Laws, because when a
Prisoner is on his Trial. he may be too much
confounded and embarrassed to know what
questions he ought to ask.
In this manner the trial proceeds, the
Counsel for the Prosecution, who is here
called he Attorney General, first examining
all bis witnesses, and he Prisoner or his
Counsel cross examining them. During all
this time the Judge is employed in writing
down every word that he witnesses say, and
in taking care that the trial is conducted
with propriety and according to Law.
When he Attorney General has called
and examined all his witnesses, the Prisoner
is asked by the Registrar, if he has any de-
fence to make, or any witness to call; and
be then makes bis remarks upon what  the
witnesses for the Prosecution have said, and
he states his own case, and calls witnesses to
prove it. These witnesses are cross ex-
amined by he Attorney General.
When the Prisoner has finished making
his defence the Judge addresses the Jury;
he reminds them shortly what the charge
against the Prisoner is, and points out to
them what he law requires should be proved
in the case under consideration. He then
alludes to he evidence and makes his remarks
upon it, shewing how far that evidence
proves the guilt of the Prisoner, and in
what respects the evidence seems in his fa-
vour.
ki te ringa matau,  ka korerotia ki a ratou
te Iniraimene e te Rehita; ko reira timata ai
te whakawa.
Ko te Parita mana e whakahaere nga ti-
kanga o te whakawa, ka tu ki runga i konei,
ka korero atu ia ki te tekau ma rua nga
kupu mo te hara o te herehere, ka mutu
tera, ka karangatia e ia te kai korero tua-
tahi. Ka tae te kai korero ki te turanga i
whakaritea mona, ka oatitia ia ki runga ki
nga Rongo Pai Tapu, kia whakapuakina e
ia, te pono, a, ko te pono anake.
Ka oti te whakahoki mai e te kai-korero
nga utu mo nga patai a te  kaunihera rapu i
te hara e te herehere; ka tika kia patai te
herehere ki te kai-korero. He mea ano ma
te herehere ake e uiui te kai-korero, he mea
ano, ma te kaunehera o te herehere e maka
nga kupu patai ki te kai-korero.
He tikanga pai tenei, no runga i te aroha
tenei wahi o te Ture, no te mea hoki, ka tu-
ria te tangata ki te whakawakanga ka poau-
au nga whakaaro, a, ekore e ata tika ana
kupu patai.
Ka haere whenei nga tikanga o te whaka-
wakanga, ko te Kaunehera, ko ia nei hei ti ti-
ro i nga he o te herehere, e karanga ana i
ana kai korero, muri iho, ka pataia aua kai
korero e te herehere, e tana Kaunehera ra
nei; ko te ingoa mo te rangatira mana e hapai
nga tikanga e kitea ai te he o te herehere
ko te Atone Henera. I roto i te whakahae-
erenga o enei mea, e tuhituhi ana te tino kai-
whakawa i nga kupu katoa e whakapuakina
ana e nga kai-korero; a, be titiro tana kia
haere te whakawakanga i runga i te tika, i
runga i te Ture.
Ka oti te karanga e te Atone Henera nga
kai korero katoa, ka karanga te Rehita ki te
herehere, kia whakapuakina tana kupu, me
he kupu tana, kia ka ranga ra nei i ona tan-
gata i pai ai hei korero mo te wahi ki a ia.
Ko konei puta ai te kupu o te herehere ki
nga kai korero i whakapuaki ra i o ra tou mea
i kite ai, a, ka whakatakoto i tana tikanga,
ka karanga i ona kai korero hei whakatika i

ro e te Atone Henera.

The Jury then consider the case, and if
they cannot soon agree they retire out of
Court to discuss he matter, and when they,
(the whole twelve Jurymen) have agreed on
their verdict, (he whole twelve must be locked
up till they do agree,) they come into he
Court, and pronounce aloud in the hearing
of the Judge and the whole Court that they
find the Prisoner " guilty," or that they find
him "not guilty."
If ine Prisoner is found " not guilty," he
is discharged at once, and cannot be tried
again for the same offence, but if the Jury
find him " guilty." the Prisoner is asked by I
the Registrar, what he has to say, why the
sentence of the Court should not be passed
upon him.
Having been found guilty by the Jury, the
Prisoner has generally nothing to say, why
the sentence of the Court should not be
passed. But if he has, or if he wishes to say
any thing, he is heard, and the Judge takes
the matter into his consideration.
If the  Judge does not see that the Prisoner
has slated any sufficient reason for his not
passing sentence, he addresses the Prisoner
and remarks upon the nature of his offence,
and tells him what punishment the Law
awards for such an offence; and he passes
sentence accordingly.
The Law has affixed particular punish-
ments for particular offences, and the Judge
ki te whare whakawa, ka karanga nui ratou
kia rongo ai te Tino Kai-Whakawa me nga
tangata katoa, to ratou kitenga i te "hara"
o te herehere, i te " hara kore" ra nei.
Me he mea ka kitea te " kore hara" o
te herehere, ka tukua tonutia ki waho ekore
hoki e tikai reira kia turia he whakawa
mona mo taua hara a muri atu; otiia, me
he mea, ka kitea te "hara" o te herehere, ko
reira te Rehita ki atu ai ki a ia, kia whaka-
puakina mai tana kupu arai ta te herehere
mo te ki-tuku moua a te whare whakawa.
Ka kitea te hara o te herehere e te te kau ma
rua, he noho puku tana hanga i roto i te
whakawakanga, kahore ana kupu arai.
Engari me he hiahia whakapuaki kupu ano
tana, ka whakarangona ano, a ka ata wha-
kaaroaro hia ano e te kai whakawa tana
korero.
Ki te mea, kahore te Kai Whakawa nui i
kite i roto i nga kupu i whakapuakina e te
herehere, tetahi take e kore ai e puta ta te
whare whakawa ki tuku mona, mo te here-
here, ko reira anga nui ai te korero o te
Tino kai whakawa ki te herehere. Ka ki
atu ki a ia, ki nga tikanga o tana, hara, ki
te panga whiu hoki mo taua hard, ki to

Kai Whakawa nui i te whiu mo taua hara.
Kua oti te whakarite e te ture ngu whiu,—

When a; case has been so fully and carefully
considered, as every  case must and ought to
be, justice may be expected to be done: the
innocent saved and the guilty punished.
And is not this more desirable than that
from hasty passion or revenge, from igno-
rance of the real facts, or from any other
cause, an innocent person should be sacri-
ficed? In such a case whilst the innocent
would be made to suffer, the guilty would
escape punishment. Is this rational? Is it
desirable? Is it in accordance with the dic-
tates of humanity, or with the spirit of our
holy religion? As Englishmen we readily
obey these laws, Tor they secure to us our
property, our liberty, and our lives. The
Maories of New Zealand have on due de-
liberation wisely placed themselves under the
same: protection. Therefore as they and we
alike acknowledge the advantages of having
those Laws to regulate our intercourse with
each other, we should learn to regard  the
man who would obstruct, those laws or en-
deavour to undermine or lessen their power
and authority as a Traitor to the best inter-
ests of his country.

lan now sailed North West. For four months
he sailed on without seeing any land or
coming to any of the many Islands of that
sea. They began to be very miserable, their
 food and water was nearly all gone and the
sailors fell sick. The sea however all the
time was exceedingly calm. For this reason 
Magellan gave it the name of the Pacific
Ocean. After a very long voyage they at
last drew near to the islands lying on this
side of India and landed at Borneo. They
found some Europeans living there who had
come by the usual way round the South of
Africa. These people were greatly surprised
to see ships from Europe coming there from
the East. Magellan and his men rested there
awhile and then returned to Spain to the
I port from whence they had sailed by way of
E Africa. They had been three years and one
month away.  From this time men became
convinced that the earth is round. It was
proved by the voyage these ships made.
For they sailed on continually towards the
West and yet returned to the place from
which they started.
For awhile other ships followed the course
which Magellan discovered. But it was
found before long to be inconvenient, for a
Westerly wind generally blows there and so
they bad the wind foul and against them.
The settled course to India now is round the
Cape of Good Hope.
When ships return to Europe from New
Zealand they go round Cape Horn, for the
Westerly wind is fair for them and carries
them on homeward.
After a while another ship was sent to ex-
plore the newly discovered Oceans The
Captain was a Dutchman. He first dis-
covered these Islands in which we live. His
name was Tasman. It was in the year 1642.
He anchored off Massacre Bay, but he was
not able to land. The Maori people were
very fierce in those days and would not let
him. A large double" war canoe put off to
the vessel to attack the strangers. This
 Dutchman gave our Island the name of New
 Zealand. He named it after his own native
town in Holland. He then tried to get
through Cook's Straits but he could not find
the right passage and thought it only a Bay.
He next sailed to Taranaki and along the
Coast up to the North Cape. And from
tangata kei pakaru nga kaipuke, he nui hoki
no te ngaru Hoki ana nga kaipuke eto-
ru. Toe iho erua anake. Erua tekau o
ratou ra e tohe ana, na ka puta ki te moana
nui o tua. Ko te ingoa o taua ara i puta ai
a Magellan ma ko the Straits of Magellan.
Ko te tikanga o tenei kupu Straits ko te
itinga o te moana pera me to Raukawa nei.
Na, katahi ka waiho te rere i te kotiu. E
wha tahi nga marama a rere ana. Kahore
tetahi o nga motu o te moana nei i kitea e
ratou ka pouri noa iho ratou ko nga kai e

matemate ki nga tangata. Ko te moana e

ko te Moana Marino hei ingoa. The Pa-
cific Ocean. E mau tonu nei taua ingoa. A
ka roa noa te rerenga katahi ka tata atu ki
nga motu o waho mai i India. Ka u ki
Borneo. Rokohina atu e ratou, ko etahi
pakeha e noho ana i reira i na Afrika mai.
Te kitenga o aua Pakeha i aua kaipuke ka
whakamoemiti. No te ahunga atu i te re-
wanga o te ra. Ka okioki ra tou ki reira
muri iho ka rere atu ano ratou ki te kainga
tupu i rere atu ai ki Spain. I na Afrika
atu. Ko nga tau o to ratou rerenga atu i te
kainga a hoki noa ki taua kainga ano, etoru
tau, kotahi marama. Na katahi ka tuturu te
whakaaro a nga tangata, he mea porotaka te
Earth nei. Na aua kaipuke i ata mohiotia
ai. No muri iho koe tahi tangata i rere ano i
tona ara, i to Magellan. Otira kihai i roa
ka kitea te kino o taua ara, i te he o te hau.
He hau hauauru tonu hoki te hau. Na, ka-
tahi ka mea te whakaaroa, nga tangata ki te

Me na te Cape of Good Hope atu kia tae ki
India. Ka hoki atu i konei me tika ki te

No muri, ka rere ano tetahi kaipuke ki te

THE MAORI MESSENGER.

TE KARERE MAORI.
Many years after this, two ships were sent
out from England to explore these seas.
The Captain in command was a very prudent
and able man, His name was Captain Cook.
He went first to Australia to the South Coast.
From thence be sailed along the Eastern
Coast quite up to the North. He found out
in this way what a very large country Aus-
tralia is. It is as large as Europe.
The middle of Australia has never yet been
explored by Europeans. It is a sandy rocky
desert without any water. Many have tried
to go inland but all have failed. Governor
Grey went some way towards the North
West but he did not succeed in getting far
in and nearly died there of hunger and
thirst The country along the sea coast is
in many parts very fertile. Australia has a
very hot climate. Captain Cook found the
land full of people. They were all quite
naked. They did not know how to make
canoes, nor do they cultivate the ground.
They wander about from place to place in
search of birds and fish and wild fruits and
berries. There is one large animal in Aus-
tralia, the Kangaroo. Its hind legs are
much longer  than its fore legs. It makes
long leaps or bounds . In this way it can
run very swiftly along and is not easily
caught. The female has a pouch outside
her stomach in which she carries her young
while they are little and into which they
jump and hide themselves if pursued. There
is a large bird in Australia very much like
the Ostrich. It has long legs and very
short wings. It is called the Emu. It is
found inland in the plains. It runs very
swiftly. The Moa which used to be caught
in New Zealand was very like this bird.
Only the Moa was much taller.
The Chief English Town in Australia is
Sydney. The Bay on the shores of which
it stands is called Port Jackson. Melbourne
is another large town on the South Coast.
It is from its neighbourhood that so much
gold has been got. Beyond Melbourne is
Adelaide. The furthest point to the North
of Australia is Cape York looking towards
New Guinea:—The narrow Straits between
it and New Guinea are called Torres Straits
—and through them ships pass on their way
from India to Sydney. There are a great
many English settlements in Australia, it is
a good country for breeding sheep, there are
wide grassy plains in which they run;—till
lately wool was the great export from
thence. To the South of Australia is the
Island of Van Diemen's Land, it is now
called Tasmania—in honour of the man
who first discovered it. The Chief Town is
Hobart Town. There are a great number
of English settled in the Island. Its climate
resembles that of New Zealand— and wheat,
potatoes, and corn grow abundantly.
Captain Cook visited these Islands in 1769.

Na, ko waenganui o Australia, kahore ano

Kahore he wai. He tokomaha nga Pakeha

TE KARERE MAORI.
He anchored first at Te Oneroa off Tu-
ranga. The people living there were not at
all friendly to him or his men. They tried
in vain to buy food there. On this account
he gave it the name by which it is still called
Poverty Bay. He then sailed to the South
as far as a headland which he named Cape
Turnagain. Returning up the Coast, he
sailed around the East Cape and then in to
the Westward, to a Bay called by the Natives
Whakaari. Here the people were very kind
and hospitable. They let the strangers have
plenty of food. And so Captain Cook named
it Bay of Plenty. From thence he sailed
to the North to the Bay of Islands, and
thence up to the North Cape. From the
North Cape he sailed down the Western
Coast till he reached the  Straits which divide
the two Islands. He sailed quite through
and then for the first time discovered that
there were two Islands. The Straits have
been named after him Cooks Straits. He
went to visit the middle Island which is
called Wai Pounamu. His favourite an-
chorage there was in Queen Charlotte's Sound.
He gave it this name after the Queen (then
living.)
 It was from Captain Cook that the Maories 
first got potatoes and pigs. He look back a
good report of these Islands to the people of
England.
We must now speak of the many small
Islands of the Pacific. If we sail from New
Zealand to the North for about a thousand 
miles we shall reach the Fijee Islands.
There are two largish Islands and a good
many small ones scattered around them for-
ming the groupe. The people there are
black. Their only garment is an apron
round the loins. The climate is very hot.
The Fijiians are very skilful in making pots
of earth and clay. They bake their food and
boil it quite in English fashion in these pots.
They are not a quiet civilized people, they
are always at war one with another. And
they are cruel and blood thirsty. It is said
that the practice of cannibalism spread from
thence to these Islands. But of late the
Gospel has begun to spread among the
Fijiians and these evil doings are less com-
mon.
To the South East of Fijee there is another
groupe of small Islands. The largest
among them are Tonga Tapu and Vai
Vaii. The name of the whole groupe is the
Friendly Islands. Captain Cook gave them
this name because the people were so kind
and friendly to him. All the fruits and food
that grow in hot countries abound here.
There are violent earthquakes in these
Islands. One small Island lately was split
in two by a shock. The trees and cultiva-
tions were all destroyed by the volcanic fire.
The language of the people in those Islands

govern all the Island. The present King is
named George. The greater number of the
Tongan  people have been all convened to
Ctiristianity. To the North of Tonga lies the
groupe of the Samoan or Navigators Islands.
The last name was given, because of the
skill of the people there in navigating their
canoes. They have very large ones. The
Samoans are a fine looking people. Their
practices were never as bad as those of the
Fijiians and others even while still ignorant.
They did not offer human sacrifices to the
false Gods. A large number of the Samoans
have now become Christians. Sailing from
Tonga Tapu to the East we come to a groupe
of very small Islands.  The largest of them
is Raratonga. The language spoken by the
people there, is a good deal like Maori.
Beyond Raratonga is another groupe of
Islands of which the largest is Tahiti. To
the East of Tahiti is Nukahiva and its groupe
of Islands. They are called the Marquesas.
The people there have always been unfriendly
to foreigners and unwilling to receive the
Gospel. The language is somewhat like
Maori. The people have their bodies
tatooed all over.
There is another groupe of Islands lying
far apart to the North West of Nukahiva.
If we sail from there in that direction for
about two thousand miles we shall reach
Hawaii with its groupe of small Islands.
The whole groupe is called the Sandwich
Islands. The Chief city is Honolulu in the
Island of Oahu. Captain Cook was killed
at Hawaii by some of the Islanders there.
There is one" King over the whole groupe.
All the Sandwich Islanders have become
Christians. Schools have been established.
The foreigners who live among them are
Americans. The Islands of which we have
spoken hitherto to the East of the Fijiis are
all inhabited by the Maori race. Though
the language of one groupe is somewhat dif-
ferent from that of another groupe of
Islands, yet the root of the language is the
same in all. We will now return to Fijii.
If we sail from thence to the South West,
we come to New Caledonia and other small
Islands near. Captain Cook first discovered
these. The people there are very dark, but
not quite black. Their language is not yet
understood. They are very skilful in culti-
vating the ground. They bring water in
trenches from a distance to water their plan-
tations. They work the land well till it is
quite soft and fine so that the food grown
there is very abundant and of great size.
The yams are often four feet long. The 
people are always at war among themselves.
Beyond New Caledonia lie the small Islands
of Nengone and Lifu. Some of the people
there, have become Christians. They have
 been converted by Native teachers from
Pakeha ko nga Navigator's Islands. Ko
tona whakamaori tanga ko nga motu o te
iwi mohio ki te whaka tere kaipuke. He
mohio hoki tera iwi ki te whaka tere i ona
waka nunui. He tangata ahua papai. I
mua i te wahi i kuware ai tera iwi kahore i
tino he ona ritenga maori, kahore i pera me
Viti. Kihai i pai ki te tangata kia patua hei
whakahere ma ona Atua. Katahi nei ka
uru mai tetahi taanga o te iwi ki roto ki nga
tikanga a te Karaiti. 
Na, ka rere atu ano i Tonga tapu whaka

rotonga. Ko te iwi tenei i ahukahuka mai

were trained by that good man John Wil-
liams. Further North lie a chain of Islands
Anaiteum, Tanna, Erromango and a number
of others. The whole groupe is named
the New Hebrides. It is so named after a
groupe of small Islands off the Coast of
Scotland. The people of each Island speak
a different language. It was at Erromango
that John Williams was killed. He was the
Missionary who first carried the Gospel to
Rarotonga and Samoa. Far away to the
North East are the Solomon Islands, and
New Britain and New Ireland. And beyond
those is the large Island of New Guinea on
the other side of Australia. These Islands
are not well known yet to foreigners. A
ship only now and then goes there. The
people of the Islands last mentioned are not
of  the Maori race. They belong to some
one of the black races of men. They were
all savages formerly, but are now beginning
to improve. Light has dawned and we may
hope it will increase unto the perfect day.
MEETING OF NATIVES OF THE NGATIWHAKAUE
AND NGATIRANGIWEWEHI TRIBES WITH RE-
FERENCE TO THE MURDER OF THE NATIVE
WOMAN KERARA RANGIAWHIPARA.
On the 3rd instant, a large number of the
Ngatiwhakaue and Ngati Rangiwewehi tribes
with their principal Chiefs assembled in front
of the Council Chamber, for the purpose of
holding an interview with the representatives
of the Government with reference to the mur-
der of the Native woman Kerara Rangi-
awhipari of the Ngatiwhakaue tribe.
In the absence of His Excellency the Go-
vernor. Colonel Wynyard had kindly consen-
ted to meet the Chiefs with their people to
answer any questions they might wish to
propose. Accordingly, about noon, he, with
several of the Government Officers, was
present on the part of the Government.
The Chiefs Tohi Te Ururangi and Hori Hau-
papa, on the part of the Natives, undertook
to conduct the proceedings, which were car-
ried on in a very orderly quiet manner. Mo-
hi Te Haupapa, the son of the unfortunate
woman, was first presented to Colonel Wyn-
yard, and, in reply to a question put to him,
said that he had come to Auckland to de-
mand the life of the murderer of his mother.
This. and this only he said would satisfy him
ko te ingoa ki te Pakeha, ko New Hebrides.
He ingoa tapa mai no nga motu ririki i te
taha o Scotland. He motu ano ko tona reo;
he motu ano, ko tona reo. Ko Erromango te
motu i patua ai a John Williams, te minita
nana i kawe te Rongo Pai ki Rarotonga ki
Samoa.
Kei ko atu ano kei te kotiu he haupu motu
ano. Ko nga Solomon Islands ko New Bri-
tain, ko New Ireland. Kei tua atu ko te
motu nui i waho atu i Australia, ko New
Guinea. Kahore ano kia mohiotia rawatia
era whenua e te Pakeha. E tae takitahi ana
te kaipuke ki reira.
Ko te tuturu o nga iwi o enei motu ehara
i te tangata Maori.
No nga iwi mangu te take. I kino te
noho i mua. Katahi nei ka haere ake ki te
pai, kua takiri ake te ata. Me ake ka ma-
rama.

No te 3 o nga ra o te marama nei ka huihui
a Ngatiwhakaue a Ngatirangiwewehi me o
ratou rangatira kaumatua, ka noho ki te

Whakaue tribe were then presented separ-
ately, and expressed themselves to the same
effect. They also stated their anxiety that
the matter should be concluded as soon as
possible, as they wished to return home
wvithout delay. Colonel Wynyard, after
shaking hands with the Chiefs, expressed his
approbation of the orderly manner in which
they had assembled with their people to stale
their wishes, thus shewing that they placed
confidence in ihe Government. He said he
should have great satisfaction in telling the
Governor, on his return, how well they had
behaved. He then kindly explained to them
that every thing bad been done in the matter
which could be done: that the murderer
had been apprehended, tried by a jury, sen-
tenced to death by the judge, and was now
in prison awaiting the return of the Gover-
nor whose confirmation of the sentence was
required by the Law of the English, be be-
ing the Queen's representative in this coun-
try. The delay in His Excellency's return
was explained to be caused by the detention
of the Steamer at Nelson for repairs: also,
that it was believed His Excellency would
not be absent more than two or three weeks
longer; and, that though no positive
promise could be given to the Ngatiwhakaue
by any one present, that the unhappy crimi-
nal should be executed, yet there was no
reason to believe that the Governor would
interpose to spare the life of the murderer.
Colonel Wynyard went on to say that he had
known the Native people now for many
years and had bad frequent opportunities of
observing their respect for the Laws and desire
to act in accordance with them. He recom-
mended the tribes present to continue to act
in this manner; to place entire confidence
in the Government; to rest assured that the
just Laws of the English will always be ad-
ministered with impartialily for the protec-
lion of the Maori is well as the European;
and to believe the truth that the more the
Maori makes himself acquainted with these
Laws the more he will admire and respect
them., The Chiefs were then told that if a
deputation of themselves were appointed to
await the return of His Excellency, they
would be treated as guests of the Govern-
ment and supplied with whatever might be
necessary for their comfort and accommoda-
tion during their stay.
A short, but animated, speech, was then
made by the Chief Huka, who is nearly re-
lated to the murdered woman, in the course
of which a song was introduced, the purport
of both being to the effect that the murder
me hohoro tonu. Ringaringa ana, ka mutu.
Katahi a Kanara Winiata ka korero atu ki a
ratou, ka whakapai ki taua whakaminenga ki
te ahua pai o to ratou haere mai o to ratou
noho: ki a ia he tohu pai tera, he tohu oki
oki no a ratou whakaaro ki runga i te wha-
kahaere tika o te Kawanatanga. Ka mea atu
hoki, e hari ana tona ngakau, a ka waiho
hei korero mana ki a Te Kawana, ina hoki
mai, te tikanga pai o taua whakaminenga.
Ka tahi ka ata whakatakina iho a te ture ti-
kanga mo tenei matenga tangata: te hopu-
kanga o te kai patu, te kimihanga o tona
hara e te tekau ma rua, (e te Huri ki ta te
pakeha,) te putanga o te ki whakamate na
te Kai-whakawa nui,—a-takoto nei taua
kai patu tangata kei te whare herehere e
tatari ana ki te hokinga mai o Te Kawana:
be ture tino takoto hoki tenei na te Ingarihi
ma te Kawana rawa e tuku te tangata ki te
mate, ko ia hoki to Te Kuini ahua ki tenei
whenua. Muri iho ka korerotia atu te take
i roa ai a Te Kawana, ko te Tima i puritia
ki Whakatu kia hanga; engari, ki te wha-
kaaro iho ekore e tino roa a Te Kawana, kia
rua kia toru ranei nga wiki ka u mai. Na.
ko te kupu e meatia mai nei e Ngatiwhakaue
kia tino kiia atu inaianei, ekore e ahei, kei a
Te Kawana hoki te tikanga, ekore e tika ma
tetahi atu e pokanoa, engari kaore kau he
take e mea ai te whakaaro e whakaorangia
tera tangata kohuru e Te Kawana, kahore.
Korero tonu a Kanara Winiata, a,  ko te
maha o ana tau i mataki taki ai ia ki te ti-
kanga a nga iwi maori, kua kite ia i to ra-
tou tu-a-wehi ki nga Ture tika a te pakeha, i
to ratou hiahia whakarite hoki i aua Ture.
Na, he kupu whakamahara tenei nana ki
nga iwi i noho ra, kia mau ki tera tikanga;
tukua te whakaaro kia tino okioki ki runga
ki te Kawanatanga hei matua atawhai, waiho
tenei whakaaro hei tino pupuri ma te nga-

kotahi ano Tu re hei tiaki mo nga tangata
katoa o Niu Tireni ahakoa pakeha, tangata

Ture ka neke ake ai tona matauranga tona

Heoi ano—muri iho ka korerotia atu ki nga
rangatira ki te pai ratou kia whiriwhiria

great sorrow, more especially from the fact
that no provocation had been given to the
murderer: that be and bis friends had now
come to Auckland in a peaceable manner to
appeal to the authorities here for satisfaction,
instead of seeking to avenge the wrong in
ihe old Maori way:  that they will be satis-
fied if the murderer  is executed, but that if
his life is spared their hearts will be very
dark. The conference here closed. By way
of winding up the days proceedings, a bag
of flour and sugar was ordered for the be-
hoof of the Natives present as a token of un-
interrupted good feeling on both sides.  The
Ngatiwhakaue party then crossed over to
Awataha to see and weep over the grave of
their deceased clanswoman. On their re-
turn the deputation was formed to await
the return of His Excellency, consisting of
the following Chiefs and persons interested;
Haere Huka, Tohi Te Ururangi, Hori Hau-
papa, Taiapo, Wharetutu, Niheta, Tangaroa,
Paora Te Amohau, Mohi Te Haupapa and
Timoti Nga Kahu. A house has been pro-
vided for them by the Government where
they are treated as guests  and receive every
attention due to their rank.
Jeremy Taylor concludes his apology for
christian toleration with an eastern apologue.
It is here. Reader, note it well!
" When Abraham sat at his lent door,
according to his custom, waiting to entertain
"strangers, be espied an old man stooping
and leaning on his staff, weary with age and
travail, who was one hundred years of age;
he received him kindly, washed his feet,
provided supper, caused him to sit down;
but, observing that the old man ate and
prayed not, nor begged for a blessing on
his meat, he asked him why he did not
worship the God of Heaven. The old man
told him that he worshipped the fire only,
and acknowledged no other God. At which
answer Abraham grew so zealously angry,
that he threw the old man out of his lent, and
exposed him to all the evils of the night, and
an unguarded condition. When the old man
was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked
him where the stranger was?  He replied 
rangi marie ki te tono i te utu o te tupapaku.
Ma nga kai whakarite ia e homai, ara, e
whakamate te tangata hara;—ko to mua ti-
kanga rapu utu, ara, ko to te ture ma o ri,
kihai i paingia e tona whakaaro, engari, ma
te Ture tika e whakamate te kai kohuru
heoi ano, ka mutu te rapurapu, tena, ka
whakaorangia, ka pouri kerekere. Heoi
ano, mutu ana i konei te korero. Akuanei,
meinga ana kia whai mutunga atawhai ngu
mahi o taua ra: ko te paraoa raua ko te
huka ka tukua ma te whakaminenga ra, hei
tohu mo te mau tonu o te pai a tetahi a tetahi.
Muri iho ka whakawhiti a Ngatiwhakaue ki
tawahi ki Awataha kia kite i te urupa o to
ratou tuwahine, kia tangi koki. No te ho-
kinga mai ka whakaritea etahi o nga rangi-
tira hei hunga tatari ki a Te Kawana; ko
 nga ingoa enei. Ko Haere Huka, ko Tohi
Te Ururangi, ko Hori Haupapa, ko Taiapo,
ko Wharetutu ko Niheta, ko Tangaroa, ko
Paora Te Amohau, ko Mohi Te Haupapa
hoki raua ko Timoti Nga kahu. Kua wha-
kanohoia tana hunga ki tetahi whare a e noho
nei ano i runga i to te manuhiri rangatira
ritenga, hei manuhiri ma te Kawanatanga.
He korero tenei na tetahi o nga Pihopa o
te Hahi o Ingarangi na Heremi Teira. He
korero tupuna ra ia na nga Iwi i te Rawhiti—
ara, na Te Teira i hapai. Te tikanga o te
korero nei, he whaka-maharahara i ie hunga
Karaitiana kia kana e waiho i runga i te pa-

I thrust him away, because be did not wor-
ship Thee.' God answered him,' I have
suffered him these one hundred years, tho'
he dishonoured me, and wouldest thou not
endure him one night, when he gave thee no
trouble? Upon which, saith the story,
Abraham  fetched him back again, and gave
him hospitable entertainment and wise in-
struction."
" Go then," adds Taylor, " and do like-
wise, and thy charity will be rewarded by
the God of Abraham."
AUCKLAND MARKETS.
A very great change has recently taken place
in the state of the Markets. The exorbitant
prices which have so long been obtained
for every description of farm and dairy pro-
duce have at last given way, with every pro-
spect of falling yet lower. This is owing
to the abundance of the harvests throughout
Australia; as well as to the very large
importations of wheat, flour, and even pota-
toes, from South America and California.
Instead, therefore, of longer exporting New
Zealand wheat and flour, we shall be likely
to import those commodities from the neigh-
bouring colonies, and thus send away from
this country in payment a large amount of
money, which can ill be spared, unless the
native corn growers shall bring to market,
their surplus stores of grain, and so secure
for themselves the cash which will otherwise
be paid away to the stranger.
The famine prices which were lately given
for food are not likely again to be realised
for some years to come; and the only way
for the Native and European farmers to
insure the progress and maintain  the pro-
sperity of New Zealand, is by the abundance
of their production, and by selling it at such
a price as shall preclude the possibility of
the South American and Californian Agricul-
turists from competing with them much less
under selling them in their own.
Let our native readers compare the pre-
sent state of Auckland harbour with the ap-
pearance it last year presented. Last year
at this lime, ships were flocking hither from
all quarters with money and loading as fast
riro te koroheke ra, katahi ka karanga mai
Te Atua kia taua kaumatua whakapono, ka
ui mai, " Kei hea te koroheke tauhou na!"
Ka whakahokia atu e te kaumatua ra "Naku
i pei atu, kaore hoki ia e karakia ki a Koe."
Ka whakahokia mai e Te Atua, "Ka taea
nei te kotahi rau aku tau i manawanui ai ki
a ia, ahakoa tana whakaparahako tonu mai
kia Au; na, ekore koia e taea e koe te po ko-
tahi, e whakamanawanui ai koe ki a ia, ki
te tangata kaore nei ana aha mai ki a koe!" 
Heoti ano, ko te haerenga o te kaumatua, ra,
tikina atu ana te koroheke. whakahokia
ana mai, whakamanuhiritia ana, whangaia
ana, whakaakona ana hoki e ia.
Heoi ano taua korero: na, ka honoa mai
ta Te Teira, "Haere ra, peratia he tikanga
a roha mau, a, ma Te Atua ano koe e wha-
kawhiwhi ki te pai."
TE HOKOHOKO O AKARANA.
Kua rere ke i tenei wahi te tikanga o (e
hoko. Ko te utu nui mo nga tini kai kua
heke i tenei takiwa, a, e meinga ana me ake
heke rawa te utu. Ko te putake i heke ai
te utu o nga kai o tenei whenua i roto i tenei
takiwa, he hua no nga mara kai o Atareiria
i tenei tau. Ko tetahi take, he nui no nga
manga witi mai, paraoa hoki, me te Tiwai, i
Marikena ki te tonga. i Kareponia. Na, i tenei
wahi ekore tatou i Niu Tireni nei e uta i nga
kai ote whenua ki tawahi, engari, ka utaina
mai o tawahi ki konei, te witi me te paraoa.
Na, kia nui nga moni o konei e riro atu ki
tawahi mo nga kai e kawea mai nei, ki te ka-
hore e kakama nga kai whakatupu witi ki te
kawe mai ki te taone nga witi e takoto mai
na i a ratou; kia kaua nga moni o konei e
tukua ki nga iwi tangata ke, engari kia riro
inga tangata-Maori.
Ko to utu whakahara karangatia mo nga
kai i nga wa kua pahure ake nei, ekore pea,
e pera te nui o te utu mo te kai i enei takiwa
e takoto ake nei, a—roa noa. Na, ko te ti-
kanga pai tenei mo nga kai ngaki whenua,
ahakoa Pakeha, ahakoa tangata Maori me ta-
tanga tonu ratou ki te ngaki, a, kia hohoro te
kawe mai i nga kai ki te taone. Ahakoa iti te
utu, me tango ratou, he he hoki kia waiho te
kai kiatakoto noa. Kite waiho nga kai o nga
whenua o konei kia takoto noa ki nga kainga,
ka reia mai e nga kaipuke o Marikena ki te
Tonga, o Karaponia ka riro i a ratou nga
moni o tenei whenua. O tira, ki te kawea
mai nga kai o te motu nei ki nga makete
ekore e tika ta tawahi kawenga mai, ekore
hoki e heke iho nga utu o a ratou kai i to
nga tangata whenua.
Me titiro o tatou hoa maori ki nga puke
o Akarana i te nei wahi kihai i penei te ka-
hua he i tera tau. I tera tau, he tini noa
iho nga kaipuke anga mai ki konei, me a ra-
