THE MAORI MESSENGER. 2 TE KARERE MAORI.

rusal of ito contents, with a view to obtain-
ing a knowledge of the  Laws of the Pakeha,
must not be disheartened if they meet with
much which they do not at first understand.
It would not be possible la write a book on
this subject in the Maori language, which
should tell every thing about the Laws of
 the Pakeha and be perfectly intel-
ligible to the Maori reader. When the
Maori first saw the ship of the Pakeha, he
could neither understand ito construction,
nor how it was guided and made to bear
those on board whither they pleased, even
when out of sight of land. He, however,
admired its appearance:' so far also as he
was able to understand it, he could only
pronounce it to be good. He was unable to
discover any defect in it, but, more than
this, he saw that it had carried its masters
safely across the trackless ocean, and still
moved io obedience to their will. He did
not therefore hesitate to embark in it him-
self, in order to cross the sea. He could
not hope to understand it, or how it was to
find its way to its destination, but be was
not the less willing to trust himself on board.
It bad proved a safe conveyance for the Pa-
keha to his country, why should it not
prove the same for the Maori to the land of
the Pakeha.

The sending forth or the Book of the Laws
is an invitation to the Maori to embark in
the Pakeha ship. He may still keep his
canoe, and use it for short voyages along
the: coast of his island, bat he will do well
to avail himself of the Pakeha ship to carry
him where his canoe could not venture with
safety. it will be wiser to do this than to
attempt to build a ship for himself.

It must not. however, be supposed that
it is the intention or wish of the Governor to
enforce  these Laws where the people do not
desire it. As they were left free to receive
or reject Christianity offered them by the
Missionaries, so are they now free to accept
or refuse this second boon. Neither will it
be forced upon them, nor will it become
theirs without earnest effort on their part.
There must be eyes to, see and a heart to
desire the gift; a voice to ask for it, and a
hand to receive and hold it fast when ob-
tained..

tonu, nawai i ngaro, a—na, ka kitea. E kore
e ahei te tuhituhi tetahi pakapaka korero i
aro nga tikanga ki te reo Maori,kia takoto
noa iho te korero e te tangata Maori, matau
tona ake. He tini hoki nga Ture, be maha
hoki nga kapu e kore e taea te whakamaori,
he kore kupu maori hoki mo aua tikanga
korero. Te kitenga tuatahi o te tangata
Maori i te Kaipuke Pakeha, kihai i taea e
tona whakaaro. Kahore i kitea e ia he mea
pehea ranei tona hanganga, he mea pehea
ranei tona whakatere, i meinga ai kia ahu
pera, kia ahu penei, ki te kawe i te hunga o
runga ki ta ratou wahi i pai ai ahakoa i
waho i te moana e rere ana, ngaro nei te
whenua. Heoi, waiho ana hei whakamiharo
kau mana, ko tona ataahua, ko tona pai ki
te titiro atu. Heoi te kupu mana i runga I
tona mohio kore ki taua Kaipuke, be whaka- 
pai, katahi te mea pai, he Kaipuke, ko te
mohio ia, kahore i mohiotia. Tirohia iho,
na, kahore e kitea tona wahi he, he pai kau

ki te titiro atu; otira, kotahi tona pai i takoto
noa hei kite mana, ko tana kawenga pai
mai i ona ariki i runga i te moana ara-kore,
whiti pai mai nei ki tenei motu, a rongo tonu

nei ki to ratou hiahia. Nana ka ngaro atu i
te Maori era atu tikanga o taua mea, o te

kawenga mai i ona tangata, whiti ora
mai nei i te moana; oa, kahore ona wehi ki
te eke ki runga ki te kaipuke Pakeha, aha-
koa hanga ngaro i tona whakaaro, hei waka

mona e whiti ai i te moana. Kahore he
meatanga o tona whakaaro kia taea katoatia

e ia nga mea o te kaipuke te kite e ia, me

kawe pai mai te Pakeha ki to te Maori

oa taua kaipuke ki to te Pakeha whenua.
Na, ka eke noa atu ia.

Na,: ko tenei tukunga ite Pukapuka o nga

kei nga wahi e mea ai tona whakaaro
kia rere ki nga whenua tawhiti, ki nga

THE MAORI MESSENGER.

TE KARERE MAORI.

The Book now placed in the hands
of the Maori people, is intended to
shew them what the Laws are which cause
the Pakeha to dwell in peace, protect
him in the enjoyment of his property, and
punish wrong doers; also to explain the way
in which these Laws are administered.

It is prefaced by a letter addressed by the
Governor to the Native Chiefs and people of
New Zealand, in which bis Excellency ex-
plains his reasons for causing information on
this subject to be placed within their reach,
and invites them to examine for themselves
those Laws which have made the English
a great nation and a happy people, and
which, with the Divine blessing, will make
New Zealand great, and its people happy,
if all, Maori as well as Pakeha, unite to
uphold them and cause them to be re -
spected.

The first part of the Book treats of the
principal officers to whom the work of ad-
ministering the Law is committed, and of
ihe duties assigned to each.

The Law itself is guarded by the whole
people, being written in their hearts, but
the work of administering it, is entrusted to
certain individuals.

 The Sovereign is the first; her authority is
from GOD, and is. acknowledged by all the
people . The others are appointed by the Sove-
reign, and their authority is from her. No
one may assume to himself the exercise of
any office. If men were allowed to take
upon themselves the administration of the
Law without being properly appointed,
there would foe much jealousy, confusion,
and strife, and the people would not yield
the ready. obedience to the Law which
they now do. Neither do the people ap-
point these Officers. This power belongs to
the Sovereign alone.

The Sovereign, however, in all her actions
is guided by  the Law, and repects the
wishes of the  people, which they are able to
make known through the persons whom they
elect to represent them in the Parliament,

nga ki nga wahi kahore e matenuitia e ona
tangata. Kahore a Te Kawana whakaaro
pera. Erangi, be mea pera me te homai-
tanga o te Whakapono e nga Mihinare; ho-
mai ana hei tango ma nga Iwi Maori, hei
ketu ranei, nana te whakaaro. Waihoki ko
tenei, ko te rua o nga taonga nui a te Pake-
ha i kawe mai ai, ka whakaaria nei hei kapo
mai mana, hei whakaparahako mai ranei
Ehara i te mea ma Te Kawana e tohe kia
tangohia, e kore ano hoki e riro noa i tetahi:

ma te mea ano kia whaia ponotia, ka whi- 
whia tenei taonga, te Ture. Ma te whai ka-
nohi ano hei kite, ma te whai ngakau hei
manako mai ki tenei taonga, ma te whai reo
ano hei tono mai kia hoatu,ma te whai
ringaringa hoki hei tango, a hei pupuri ho-
ki ina whiwhi; ma enei, ka tahi ka tika.

Ko te Pukapuka ka tukua nei ki nga Iwi
Maori, he mea whakaatuatu i nga tikanga o
nga Ture i noho tika ai te Pakeha i runga
i te rangimarie, te tatangia e te kai pana i
a ia i runga i tona whenua, i ona rawa; o nga
Ture whiu i te tangata mahi kino; a hei
whakaatuatu hoki i nga tikanga e whaka-
haerea nei aua Tare. Whakapirihia ana te
pukapuka a Te Kawana ki nga Rangatira me
nga Iwi Maori o Niu Tirani, hei whakaatu-
atu i ana whakaaro i mea ai ia kia whakapua-
kina nga tikanga nei, hei titiro iho ma ratou,
hei rapu ma ratou i nga Ture i tupu ai to
Ingarani Iwi hei Iwi nui, i kite nui ai hoki
ona tangata i te pai; ko ana Ture hoki mana
a Niu Tirani e tupu ai, ma Te Atua ano ia e
atawhai, ara, ko te Maori me te Pakeha me
whakakotahi hei hapai, hei whakamana i aua
Ture.

Ko te wahi tuatahi o te Pukapuka o nga
Ture e korero ana i nga ingoa o nga tangata
kai-whakahaere, Apiha o te Kuini, i wha-
karitea hei mahi i o te Ture tikanga ki te iwi,
me te tikanga o te mahi a tera, a tera. Ko
te Ture ia, ma te iwi nui tonu e hapai, ma nga
tangata katoa; kei o ratou ngakau hoki e mau
noa te tuhituhi: engari, ko te whakahaere,
ko te mahi hoki i ona ritenga ki te iwi  ma
ona tangata ake ano i whakaritea hei pera. Ko
Te Kuini te tumuaki, no TE ATUA mai tona
mana, whakaae ana hoki te iwi katoa. Ki raro
iho i a ia, ko nga kai-whakahaere ano, no Te
Kuini te mana ia ratou, mana ratou e wha-
katu, ara, e whakawhiwhi ki tana mahi, ki tana
mahi. Ekore e pokanoa te tangata ki
tetahi mahi penei mana. Mehemea ka
tukua ma te tangata e tango pokanoa ki
nga maui o te whakahaere Ture, kaore kia
whakaaturia tikatia, na, ka tupu te hae, me
te raruraru, me te ngangare, a e kore te
iwi e penei me naianei te rongo tonu ki te

or Council, whose work it is to frame such
Laws as may be required for the welfare and
good government of the people. 

If any person on appointed by the Queen to
any office of administration, proves unfit to
discharge its duties, the Queen will remove
him but so long as he holds the office he
must be, obeyed, for it is not the man but the
office which is io be respected. 

 The second part of the Book of the Laws
contains a list of, the principal offences
against the Law, which are called Criminal
Offences, stating the punishment which the
Law has assigned to each offence, and the
Court in which a person charged with such
an offence may he tried. These punis-
ments can only be inflicted  by the officers
whom the Queen has appointed for the pur-
pose and after due trial and conviction of
the offender io a property constituted Court.
This is a point which the Maori reader
should clearly understand. It must not be
supposed that the punishment assigned by
the ie Law for the various offences enumerated
in the List are stated as a guide tor the
Maori Assessors, or others, in dealing with
persons committing such offences. It will
be seen that most of the serious  offences can
only be tried in the Supreme Court; a man
committing one of these offences must first
be tried by that Court (that is, by a Judge
and Jury,) before he can be held to be guilty,
and no man can be lawfully punished until
be by found guilty by a competent
Court. The Maori reader should there-
fore understand, that the Laws oi

England are given him, not for the purpose
of being. brought into immediate operation
among his own. people, which would be im-
possible, before the appointment of Magis-
trates and other officers necessary for, car-
rying them out but that the Maories may
know how offenders are punished, when
dealt with according  to English law. When
this is understood by them, they will be bet -
ter able to judge how far it will be to their
advantage, and how far they are willing.
that the operation of this law should be ex-
tended to them, and, if really desirous that
it should be so extended, it will then be
for them to apply to the Governor, stating
their wishes and asking him to appoint
Magistrates, and assist them in securing to
themselves the advantages of English law.

hands, but rather for their heads. Let it be
read carefully and considered  well. If it
lead them to a conviction, based upon some
knowledge of the  subject, that the English
Laws are just and good, and suited as well
for the Maori as for the Pakeha, it will have
effected the object for which it has been put
into their hands.

The Maori is invited to come on board the 
Pakeha ship and examine her timbers, her
sails, her rigging, her rudder and her com-
pass. If these appear faultless, then let
him try a voyage in her, and in the course
of time be may learn also how to assist in na -
vigating her. In the meantime, rather let the
eyes of the novice be employed io examining,
than the hands in handling. There  is no
reason whatever why the Maori should not
learn to lake part in navigating the Pakeha
ship. Has he not already learned to
manage the small coasting craft in which he
now brings bis produce from various places
on the coast to Auckland. But it must not
be supposed that the requisite knowledge
can be acquired in a day. It roust be a
work of lime. A willingness to be taught,
patience, and quiet perseverance are also
necessary; without these nothing good is to
be attained—with them, there is nothing
which may not be attained.

NOTICE.

THE Owners of the undermentioned Ves- 
sels are required to produce to the
Collector of Customs at Auckland, within
six months from this date, the Certificate of
Registry of their Vessels,  in order that an
official number may he given to each, and
without which their Vessels will be liable to
seizure and confiscation.

LETTER OF IHAKARA TUKUMARU.

(continued.)

I will tell you the things of this
island which have been lost; the kumara,
convolvolus root, fern root, like guana, and
the Maori rat; in like manner the Maori
customs are dying out before the good
customs of the Pakeha, and I think that the
Maories now should be called half-castes,
because the Pakeha is their father. The
Maories has repudiated ta parent Hiueiten-
gaere, who taught him to were garments.
1 am exceedingly anxious  that we should
adopt the good customs of the English
people. To what purpose  shall we maintain
our old custom;  and ideas. Shake off these
evil things of a by gone day, Deceit, the
 evil eye, threats and overbearing on the
 part of one tribe towards another.  Un- 
fonunately the Maories are not agreed
among themselves, they are divided and
 therefore will not prosper as a people; there
is nothing upon which the roots may  take
bold, and the son of England  is shining
strongly to burn up the seed tubers of our

island of New Zealand; that is, any system
of our own. 

Friends here is another word of mine
to you all, it is a word respecting our land.
I disapprove of the land holding system
pursued by the Maori Chiefs; it does an
injury to their own people and to trade.
Have they ho feeling for their own people
who are wearying themselves in planting
wheat, potatoes, corn, and in various other
works which the hearts of men prompt
them to undertake but which cannot be
properly carried out for the want of
Pakehas at this place, Manawatu. There-
fore 1 say, let part of the Manawatu be
sold, in order that the benefits which are
derived from the presence of Europeans
may be ours also. We are living in ig-
norance with respect to commercial matters,
because there are no Europeans here, there-
fore I say—let us have many Europeans,
that so trade may increase, and that we may
live in comfort.

It is not well for the Maori Chiefs to
withhold all their lands; it will be wiser to
dispose of a portion to the Europeans to settle
upon, that they may dwell near us and
carry out among us their good system: let
us however carefully secure ourselves such
land for cultivation as may be required for our
subsistence. 1 am quite willing to part
with my land, but I do not feel quite satisfied
to pursue this course alone: I would rather
that all should unite in doing this, which is
perfectly right and proper. If you consent
to join me in this work, then success will be
ours and all will go well,

From your friend,

IHAKARA TUKUMARU.

LETTER FROM CHATHAM ISLAND
CHIEFS.

Waitangi, Chatham Island,

May 8th, 1858.
Our loving friend, GOVERNOR BROWNE.

Salutation. We wish to say a word to
you with reference to the word in which
we have been engaged, in connection with
the Magistrate stationed on this, Chatham
Island in promoting these things which are
in accordance with the Queen's good laws,
and we have determined to unite ourselves
to her as our parent. This is all on this
subject.

Friend, the Governor, the rumour about
 a Maori King has reached us, but we say,
None but the Queen. This is all from us,

E hoa ma, tenei hoki tetahi o aku kupu
kia koutou katoa, he kupu mo to tatou whe- 
nua. Kei te whakahe ahau ki nga tikanga
pupuri whenua o nga Rangatira Maori. He
tikanga tarewa tenei i to ratou nei iwi, ara, 
i nga hokohoko, kahore be atawhai ki tona
iwi e ruha kau nei i te mahinga witi, tae-
wa, kaanga, me te tini noa atu o nga mahi
e hiahiatia ana e te ngakau o nga tangata;

kaore nei koki e mahia ana aua hiahia, i te
kore Pakeha o tenei kainga, o Manawatu, no
reira ka mea au, me hoko tetahi wahi o Ma-
nawatu Ua taemai ai nga painga o te Pakeha
ki a tatou. Ko matou e noho kuare tonu nei
ki te ritenga o te hokohoko i te kore Pakeha;

no reira ahau i mea ai, kia nui atu he Pakeha
ki a tatou, kia nui haere nga hokohoko ta -
onga i tenei ao, i runga i te ora, i te pai o
te tinana.

Kahore i tika mo nga Rangatira Maori ki
te pupuru tonu i a ratou whenua katoa, en-
gari me tuku tetahi wahi ki nga Pakeha, hei
nohoanga mo ratou, kia tata ai kia tatou, hei
whakahaere i nga Ukanga pau roto ia tatou.
Me ata whakatuturu marire nga wahi whe-
nua nei mahinga mo o tatou tinana. Ko au
i pai ki te tuku i taku whenua; otira, kaore
au i pai rawa ki taua mahi maka anake»

LETTER FROM PEHIMANA 

TAMAIPAREA

WAITOTARA, May I7TH, 1858.
Go, my letter to Governor Browne in
Auckland, Friend. Salutation. Friend, I am
engaged in trying to bring my people, the
Ngarawaru,  into submission to the Govern-
ment and the Queen's Laws. I and my
father, Aperahama Tamaiparea, are doing
what we can to effect this, for I am satisfied
that at the Maori customs are bad, and there-
fore oppose them; not one of them is good.
For this reason I urged my people the
Ngarauru that they should all accept the
just Laws of the Queen, and they assented.
We assembled at Perekama to discuss the
question, and on two occasions the assent of

 the meeting was given. There were 500

persons present. I rose and spoke thus,
hearken, O people, let us acknowledge only
the Queen's Law and the Laws of God. To
this the meeting asserted  let us leave
quarrelling for other tribes, why should we
have anything to do with that evil. Let
our weapon be the spade, with which we
may subdue the soil and make it yield
sustenance by us all. I am utterly dis-
gusted with Maori customs.

FROM THE 1ST TO THE 15TH AUGUST.

The tidings last received from Australia

respecting the existing state and future
 prospects of the flour and corn markets are

exceedingly conflicting. A slight fall in

flour has taken place at Melbourne, but
 prices remained as before in Sydney. Wheat.

in both Markets, was also quoted a shade

lower, but there was evidently so much of
management in all this, and such a great

difference of opinion concerning the quantity
of wheat in the several Australian Colonies,
that a sudden rise may at any moment lake
place. In Sydney, calculations have been

made. of the estimated supply of wheat
available before next harvest; those calcu-
lations appear to have been made with great
care and they show a deficiency; in Mel-
bourne, however, the accuracy of the Sydney
statements is denied, and it is said that the
official returns of the quantity of wheat
produced in the colony has exceeded the
supposed amount and tended to depress the
market, as the stocks, respecting the amount
of which considerable difference of opinion
existed, are now generally considered
sufficient for requirement, the ample stocks
of Tasmania and surplus produce of South
Australia  being taken into consideration.
We ourselves do not place any reliance in
the asserted "ample stocks of Tasmania,"
on the contrary we believe that those stocks
will be found to be deficient; we are entirely
of opinion with the writer in the Sydney
Herald that the whole of the Colonial stocks
of wheat are light, and that the depression
spoken of in the Melbourne market has been
effected by wealthy speculators with a view
to forcing the market by and by to an un-
natural advance.

Oats have fallen considerably in value, at
Melbourne and the arrival of a ship, the
Young America, from Liverpool with 15, 000
bushels on board bad glutted a market
previously overstocked; added to which the
failure of several corn merchants and the
forcing of their stocks for sale had operated
so injuriously that foreign oats were selling
at from 5s. 3d. to 5s. 9d. colonial grown
from 6s. 6d. to 7s. per bushel. Barley had
likewise been affected, and was dull of sale
at from 7s. to 7s. 3d. Maize had shared in
the depression of all other kinds of horse
corn: the  price quoted was 6s. 6d. to 7s.
per bushel, but very few sales were taking
place.

Teas and Sugars still continued to main-
tain high prices, and with little present
prospect of a reduction.

There has been scarcely a foreign arrival
since our last, the prevailing hard North
Easterly gales preventing any of the over-
due ships from Sydney and England from
making their passage; no doubt, with the
first shift of wind, we shall have a good many
vessels finding their way into harbour to-
gether. The only vessels to report are the
brig Missie, 198 tons, Captain Reynolds from
Melbourne, with sundry merchandise. and 7
passengers; the American schooner Caroline
E. Foote, 145 tons, Captain Worth, from
Sydney, with goods, and 9 passengers; and
