IN a previous number 'Messenger' we
spoke of the way in which the  Maories hold
their land. We expressed an opinion that
their system of tenure is attended with much
inconvenience. It is inconvenient in this
respect, that under it many persons may lay
claim to the same piece of land. There is,
perhaps, one ancestor from whom the title
is derived, but a vast number of persons of
them present generation can trace a descent
from him, upon which they found claims.
These all claim a title in common to the
whole of the land, and not each to a parti-
cular portion.
It is not the  Pakeha alone who sees this
inconvenience, the Maories acknowledge it.
themselves. Both are agreed that the Maori
system of holding land is inconvenient.
Many are the evils to which it gives rise.
It causes quarrels. Two persons dispute
about them right to a piece of land, each
maintaining that his little is the  better.
Quarrelling is succeeded by fighting, and
then blood is spilt. This a great evil, and
is so plain to the Maories themselves that it
is needless to insist upon it here. But this
is not the  only evil. There is another. It is
in a great measure owing to this system
that the Maori people are prevented from
advancing in civilisation. This system pre-

vents them from becoming industrious, and
the want of industry prevents their becoming
prosperous. They ask, "How is it that the
land becomes so valuable, as soon as it comes
into the possession of them Pakeha? While
in the hands of them Maories it was valueless,
but the Pakeha gets it, and it at once acquires
value, and is greatly sought after. How is
this?"—It is because each piece of land has
but one owner. The land is parcelled out;
this man has his own piece, and that man
has his own piece; his wholly and perman-
ently, no one else having any right to any
portion of it. A man having such a pro-
perly is willing to put forth his energies to
improve it. He will fence, cultivate, build
a good house etc., etc., because he is secure
in the possession of his land, no man dare
disturb him.
Who would expend time and strenght
upon land which some other person might
afterwards lay claim to? If a man is sure
that his land is his own, it is all very well;
otherwise, what would induce me to work,
fence, build and make improvements with
the probability that, when all is completed,
some one will come who possesses a joint
title with me, and I shall have to share with
him the land which belonged to our com-
mon ancestor, and which I have expended
so much labor upon? But let a piece of land
be given to a man as his sole property, and
he will have heart to work that he may in-
crease its value and make it supply his own
wants while living, and leave it to his child
after him.
In another part of this 'Messenger' our
readers will find a letter from some of the
Rangiaowhia people, stating that they had
begun to divide their lands among the indi-
viduals of the tribe. If this be correct, it is
an excellent example, which we hope will be
imitated throughout the country.
The Government desires that the land should 
be cultivated and caused to yield its increase
in obedience to the Divine command to
Adam. The land ought not to lie waste. And
that which will make men willing to cultivate
and improve the land is to divide it and
give to each man his own piece, defining the
boundaries, surveying, mapping, and regis-
tering in a book each allotment.
Why should not one of the tribes on the
Waikato., or some other tribe, consent to set
e toto. He he nui ano tenei, a e kitea
nuitia ona tenei he e nga tangata Maori ano,
e hara i te mea ngaro, e tino korerotia ai e
matou i konei. Heoi ra, e hara i te mea ko
tera he anake; tena ano, na taua tikanga
tetahi wahi i mau roa ai te tangata Maori,
te neke ake ki te whai tikanga. Na taua
tikanga ano i kore ai te ahuwhenua; na te
kore ahuwvhenua, te taea ai te whai rawa.
Waiho kia ui noa mai, "He aha ta te Pakeha i
tino taonga ai te whenua ina riro i a ia. Kei
te tangata Maori, te taonga, te aha—riro
nei i te Pakeha, ana, taonga nui tonu iho,
matenuitia tonutia iho he aha ra?" Tenei
he kotahi no te tangata ki te pihi kotahi.
Wehea mariretia to ia tangata pihi ake, to
ia tangata pihi ake, nana tonu iho, e kore e
poka noa tetahi atu tangata ki tona pihi.
Na ka kaha te tangata ki te mahi i tona
pihi, ki te taiepa, ki te ngaki, ki te hanga
whare pai, ki te aha, ki te aha, ta te mea,
nona ake tona whenua. Kahore be tangata
e pokanoa ki te whakaoho i a ia. Maumau
mahi kau, maumau uaua kau, ki runga ki te
whenua o tera tangata, ka pa, ko tona ano,
ae tena ko tenei, ko wai hei mahi, ko wai
hei hanga taiepa, whare pai, aha, aha. Kei
mahia hoki, muri iho kua tae mai ko tera
tangata i eke tahi pea maua ki taua wvhenua,
akuanei ka riro i a ia tetahi wahi o te
whenua o to maua tupuna i mahia nuitia e
au. Erangi ano, kia motu rawa tetahi
pihi mana ake, katahi ka maia te tangata
ki te mahi, hei rawa ano mona ake, hei
oranga mona ake i tona ra, hei rawa waiho
iho hoki mana ki tana tamaiti i muri i a ia.
Tena kei tetahi wharangi o te Karere nei

e korero ana kua timata i a ratou tenei
tikanga te wehewehe i nga whenua. Ki te
mea, he pono tenei korero, nui atu te pai.
Kei te mea matou kia nui haere tenei ti-
kanga puta noa, puta noa, te motu nei.
Ko te whakaaro tenei o te Kawanatanga,
kia mahia te whenua. Kia whakaputaina
ona rawa, kia pera me ta te Atua i wha-
kahau iho ai kia Arama, kia mate i te
tangata te tara o te whenua.

apart a large block of unclaimed laud for
this purpose. A meeting might be called,
and on the consent of the tribe being ascer-
tained, a surveyor might be sent for to survey
the land, map it, and divide it into allotments;
the number and size of these to be properly
determined. Then give to each member of
the tribe his allotment, and register it in a
book to confirm and establish the thing.
The Maories will not perhaps be able to
carry out these suggestions without assis-
tance, but this they may obtain if they apply
to the Government for it and, with such
direction and guidance as will be afforded
them, the work may be accomplished.
LETTER FROM RANGIAOWHIA
To the Editor of Iho MAORI MESSENGER.
This letter is written to the Editor of the
Maori Messenger, that he may continue to
urge upon the  Maories who are living still
in ignorance to adopt the  customs of the
Europeans, that is, those customs which will
raise the New Zealanders. Listen, listen,
all you Pakehas of Auckland, Bay of Islands,
Taranaki, Whanganui, Wellington and Here-
taunga, in them North, in the South, and in
them whole country.
For some years past our hearts have been
set upon searching out some of the customs
of the Europeans, and we have been engaged
in this until the present time; and we intend
to commence this year to follow the customs
of the  Europeans, as we think we have at-
tained to some knowledge of these customs.
The  Maori Messenger is constantly urging
us to get cattle and sheep, and advising us
to turn our attention to farming, as a means
by which the Maories may elevate themselves.
It was one of the newspapers printed in 1857
that drew our attention to this subject.
Wo are now endeavouring to follow the
advice given to us; we have purchased
cattle and sheep, and are now turning our
attention to farming. Our lands which were
formerly allowed to run to waste we have
now divided into portions, varying from two
hundred, five hundred, and up to two thou-
sand acres for each individual. These have
been marked off as runs for cattle and sheep,
and for growing wheat, potatoes, oats,
clover, grass, etc., for disposal to the Euro-
peans, and also for food for our horses. We
wish this letter to be printed by the Editor
of them Maori Messenger that our European
friends may know our thoughts.

THE PITCAlRN ISLANDERS.
II.
Captain Bligh and his companions found
themselves alone on the sea nearly four
thousand miles from any European settle-
ment. They were obliged to limit their al-
lowance of bread and water to a very small
pittance for each man, and endured all the
horrors of hunger, thirst, and exposure to
the raging elements. The ocean revealed
beneath them the forms of ravenous fishes,
ready to seize them if the storm overset their
frail boat; while to add to their misery, fair
and verdant islands lay near them, which they
dared not approach, from the savage charac-
ter of their inhabitants. One thing however
cheered them in them midst of many dangers,
—they were free from the burden of crime.
Deeply loaded as their boat-was, even nearly
dovvn to the water's edge by those who were
crowded into her, they could boldly put forth
every exertion, and their energies were not
paralized by the recollection of rebellion and
outrage  having been perpretated by them.
For forty-one days they were tossed about
on the sea before they reached a friendly
shore, having passed safely through almost
unparalleled dangers. With a pistol bullet
for a weight, and two cocoanut shells for
scales, the commander daily measured out
their slender pittance. Their little craft, at
limes, had passed through seas so stormy that
its sail was often becalmed in the trough of
them mountainous waves that rose on either
side.
The tale of wrong which Captain Bligh i
carried home rang through England, and
created great sympathy in his favor. The
British Government, highly  indignant at the
outrage committed on its authority, des-
patched the Pandora frigate to seek out
Christian and his companions and bring them 
to justice. She scoured the Pacific ocean,
But no trace or tidings of the Bounty could
he obtained. A few of the mutineers who
had been left at Tahiti were arrested; two,
it was found, had been murdered. The fri-
gate, however, was lost on her homeward
voyage, three of the  mutineers were drowned,
and three forfeited their lives when they ar-
rived in England. But where were Chris-
tian and his companions? That was a mys-
tery none could solve.

ever, know their retreat, and we will return

strong hold on the   most elevated part of
the island from which he could detect
the approach of a vessel. The dread of a visit
from a man-of-war was shared by his Eng-
lish companions also; and startled by the
resemblance of the clouds in the horizon to
an approaching sail, they would hurry to 
their caves and retreats for shelter. Once
their apprehension was attended with
reality. A vessel touched at the Island, and,
as the mutineers discovered on their  depar-
ture by the marks of a recent fire, had ac-
tually been on shore, but retreated without
making any discovery.
The mutineers were finally reduced to two
in number—one a midshipman of the name
of Young, who died shortly after those events
occured, the other a common seaman named
John Adams. One day as he turned over his
stores he found a bible, a volume to which
he had long been a stranger. In early life
when wandering  about the streets of London
he had taught himself to read by perusing
Ihe hand bills pasted upon the  walls. And
now was seen the value of even that partial
knowledge. He opened the  scriptures, his
soul was weary of the scenes of lawlessness be
had witnessed; he had eaten the fruit of his
own ways, and bis own wickedness had
punished him.
AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 15th TO THE 30TH JUNE.
For some time past, we have sought to
impress upon the minds of native cultivators
the importance of turning their immediate
attention to the growth of oats, barley, maize,
and beans, as well as of wheat and potatoes.
The reason of this counsel is sufficiently
obvious; because, whilst every successive
arrival acquaints us of the great demand
and the high prices given throughout Aus-
tralia for oats, barley, maize, beans, and
bran, we learn, at the same time that wheat
and potatoes are dull of sale, and that wheat
does not fetch more than one half the price
that would eagerly  be given for oats, and
that it is also much inferior in value to
maize.

There is by no means a sufficient quantity,
of those grains produced. Let our readers
consult the periodical commercial reports of
the Maori Messenger, ani contrast the
monthly supplies of wheat with those of the
other descriptions of grain, and they will at
once discover what a field of wealth is being
neglected. This month, for instance, whilst
5502 bushels of wheat have been received
coastwise, there have been only 1063 bushels
of maize, 80 bushels of oat?, and no barley.
Were oat s, barley, and maize largely grown,
we should have ten ships for one which
now visit Auckland; a larger demand for
wheat, flour, potatoes, onions, pork, and
other produce would be created. In short
New Zealand would become rich instead of
remaining poor. But enough. Farmers,
if you be wise profit by the seed time that is
now before you.
Our shipping report is for the entire of
Ihe present month of June.
The foreign arrivals consist of two brigs
from Sydney, the Sarah, 121 tons, Firth;
and the Gertrude (1) 118 tons, Punning, with
general cargoes, and 7 passengers:  the
schooners Emily Allison, 99 tons, Collins;
