CHAPTER 4.
THE FEUDAL SYSTEM AND RlCHARD 1.
The number of years (276) which passed
from the death of Alfred to the accession of
Richard the 1. was not so great as the differ-
ence between the characters of the  two
Kings. Alfred had lived for and among the
people of whom  he was one; and to advance
their  good and prosperity had been the ob-
ject to which he devoted his talents and his
powers. Richard ruled like a despot over a
people whose language he could not speak,
and used all the strenght that in him lay to
make his own name groat and his own will
supreme.
The change in the  condition of the Saxons
and in the  appearance of the country was
not less great. Where once the  lives and
property of all men had been equally  cared

for, the powerful were now alone secure;
and, in place of the feasting and merry
makings that men had joined in during
Alfred's days. there was now poverty and
distrust and fear between the rids and the 
poor.
Now, to explain how all this had come to
pass, we roust go back 400 years—to the
lime when, tempted by the rich fields and
shady forests of Great Britain, an ambitious,
strong-willed man named William, Duke of
Normandy, who lived in a land divided from
England only by a narrow sea, had per-
suaded all the  daring, greedy spirits of his
own country to go over with him and divide
the good things of the Saxons among them.
The invaders were united and knew what
they had come to do; the Saxons were scat-
tered, and as their King, Harold, was slain in
the first battle fought between them and the 
Normans, they dad no one to lead or com-
mand them, and so the Normans triumphed,
and from the North to the South no Saxon
remained as well off as he had been. Many
who would not yield were slain, their lands
were taken by the conquerors, and their chil-
dren forced to fly to countries beyond the sea:
others who owned the foreigners as masters
lived on in their old houses; but limes were
changed for them, the foreign lord was a
master: the inhabitants of the domain trem-
bled in his presence, and approached the
Hall in which he lived with terror—the
Hall which, when the old Lords of their own
race lived there, had always been open to
them, but was now filled with foreign sol-
diers and hard task-masters.
Besides this change in the condition of the
Saxons, a new language and many new cus-
toms were brought into England by the Nor-
mans,—among these there was one which
more than any other enabled the conquerors
to set at defiance the attempts of the  con-
quered to throw off their yoke. Each great
baron who received land from the King
swore in return to fight for and follow him
whenever called upon to do so; and each
baron in his turn made his followers to whom
ngata iti; ko tenei, ko te hunga whai mana
anake i noho atea i te wehiwehi. Ko nga ha-
kari me nga hui whakaahuareka o nga ra o
Awherete, kore katoa ana, kua rawa kore
tenei nga tangata, he noho tua wehi te noho,
ko te  hunga whai taonga me te  hunga rawa-
kore ka noho tupato tetahi ki tetahi.
Na, me korero i konei te take i pera ai;
otira me titiro whakamuri tatou kia 100 tau,
ara, ki te wa i i whiti mai ai taua tangata
ngakau pakari, a Wiremu tuatahi, ki Ingarani,
na nga mania momona na nga ngahere pai o
Ingarani i kukume. Ko Nomani te ingoa o
tona whenua, he moana whaiti te  moana i
wehea ai tona whenua i Ingarani. Na, wha-
kahaua iho e ia nga maia o tona whenua,

hei tangata mo tona ope. me whakawhiti atu
ki Ingarani ki te  tango kainga mo ratou, ki
te  wehewehe i nga taonga o te  Hakihona ma

Engari nga tangata o te taua i piri tonu tetahi
ki tetahi, tikanga kotahi whakaaro kotahi,
mohio rawa hoki ki tana mahi i haere mai
ai; tena ko te Hakihona, noho ke ana noho

he granted land swear the same oath: so
that an army of fighting men was always
ready to carry out the designs of the head
man; and the will of the barons was the
only check upon the will of the King.
William promised the Saxons that the 
laws of their favorite King Edward should
be maintained, but they did not find them
of much use in shielding them from their
oppressors.
The difference is very great between the
robbers of those days who seized what
pleased them, and the settlers of the time we
live in, who pay for the  land they live on, and
are willing to share with those amongst
whom they dwell the advantages of their
laws and civilization.
Strong castles sprung in every direction.
They were surrounded by double stone walls
between which the soldiers and workmen of
every description  lived: in the centre were
strong stone towers where the valuables were
kept, and in which the  lord, his wife, and
their attendants of rank were safely lodged.
These stone castles were very different from
the-low mud huts and thatched hovels which
belonged to the original owners of the land,
and the occupations of the people who dwelt
in them were as different. In the castles
the ladies sat working beautiful patterns and
hangings for rooms, sang songs, and learnt
the art of making medicines and healing
ointments, whilst the gentlemen polished
their lances, practised games of strength,
hunted in the great forests. In
the tents the work was different;
the men and women had both to live by their
daily toil: they herded pigs and dug the
ground; but if they were found killing hares
or deer in the forests set aside for the amuse-
ment of the strangers, they were put to death
or had their eyes picked out.

TE KARERE MAORI
Such was the stale of England when
Richard became King. and by his love of
fame and self-willed temper, he did not leave
it happier than he found it. Anxious to
make his name resound through alt the na-
tions of the earth, he determined to leave his
Kingdom to the care of William de Long-
schamp while he himself called his fighting
men together and sailed for the Holy Land
to fight against the heathen who had seized
the city in which Christ died.
But while he gained glory for himself the peo-
ple God had given him to care for were in mis-
ery at home; money was wanted to carry on the
war, and Normans and Saxons had alike to
pay it, but the tax fell heaviest on the latter,
who, if they would not pay it, were tortured
till they did. Driven by their miseries to
despair, some of the Saxons took shelter in
the woods and plundered all the  Normans
who fell into their hands, hut the greater
number of the people submitted tamely to
what they could not help.
But even out of all this tyranny and misery
the  God who orders all made good come
forth . The conquerors learnt from the men
they bad subdued many good laws and cus-
toms which before had been unknown to
them, and the English never would have been
the men they are had they not the Norman
courage and, the Norman higher power of
mind been added to the Saxon temper which
did not rise enough above the pains and
pleasures enjoyed by beasts as well as men.
Even King Richard's wars, which cost so
much blood and money, brought home know-
ledge  from the East and taught us arts before
unknown. But the men who worked the
evil  cannot be thanked for the  good which a
 God, who was stronger than they, brought
to pass.
There were many things in Richard which
made him loved and admired although
they did not make him a good King; he was
brave and generous, and his strenght was
such  that he could cleave a bar of iron in
two by bringing his sword down with all his
force upon it. He gave freely to others  the
Na, ko te ahua tenei o Ingarani i te ra i
tu ai a Rihari hei Kingi. Na, he tangata
arotahi ia ki te whakakake i tona ingoa, he
tangata tikanga tukaha, na koua hoki te  tupu
ai tepai ki te whenua i ona ra: mate ake ia ka
hore he nekenga ake.  Na te  nui o tona hiahia
 kia rangona tona ingoa ki nga whenua katoa o
te  ao, waiho noa iho tona whenua ma tetahi
o nga rangatira, ma Wiremu Te Rongohama,
e tiaki, haere ke ana ia me ana hoia ki Hiria,
ko te ingoa mo tera whenua i huaina ai, ko
te Whenua Tapu, ko Kanaana hoki. Tana
haere ki reira he whawhai hi tetahi tauiwi,
ko taua iwi hoki kua tango i te  pa i mate ai
a Te Karaiti, ara, i Hiruharama.
Na, ko tona ngakau hiahia kia rangona
nuitia tona ingoa kia whai kororia ia, ngata
rawa, taea ana tana i whai nui ai, ingoa nui-
tia ana ia. Otira, kei te pehea tona iwi i
homai e Te Atua ki a ia mana e tiaki e ara-
hi. Tera te  aue mai i Ingarani tona iwi
mahue, ko nga moni mo te whawhai, kohi-
kohia ana i nga Nomana ratou tahi ko nga
Hakihona. Ko nga Hakihona ia i tino mu-
rua rawatia, ko te hunga i kaiponu i o ratou
moni, whakamamaetia iho, he mea kia tukua
mai. Na enei kino ka ngakau whakamo-
mori etahi o nga Hakihona, rere ana ki to

tou nga Nomana i mau i a ratou te hopu;
engari, ko te  tokomaha ia i whakaae, tuoho
iho te  ua, e taea hoki koa te  aha u a ratou.
  Otira, i whakaputaina ano e Te Atua he
pai i roto i enei kino. He maha nga ture
pai me nga tikanga pai i akona ai te  Nomana.
ara, o te Hakihona tikanga, o to iwi hoki i
tamia e ia e te Nomana, tikanga papai hoki
i ngaro i a ratou imua, ka tahi nei ka kitea
iho: kihai rawa hoki to Ingarani iwi i tae ki
tona ahua o naianei me i kaua te honoa te 
maia me te  whakaaro nui o te  Nomana ki to
te  Hakihona tu whakaaro, ko ta te  Hakiho-
na whakaaro hoki kahore i tawhai atu ki nga
mea nui, ko ana mea i pai ai i kino ai ko a
te kararehe tahi i pai i kino ai, kahore he
whakaaro nui i toko ake i tona ngakau. Aha-
koa nui te toto i maringi me te moni i pau i
nga whainga o Rihari, i puta ake ano he pai
i roto, no te mea hoki ko te mohiotanga ki
nga tini mea o era whenua i haerea e ana ope
kawea mai ana ki Ingarani. Otira, kaua e
meinga na te hunga mahi i aua kino na ratou 
te pai i whakaputa mai, hua atu, na Te Atua
i kaha ake nei i a ra tou, nana i maa i puta
ai te pai.
He tini ano ia nga pai o Rihari, a na era

rich things he valued himself, and when he
was passing through an enemy's country on
his way from the Holy Land to England In's
generosity brought him into great trouble,
from which, if the story is true. the love of an
old follower was the means of saving him.
Richard, dressed as a poor traveller, hoped
to pass through the country unnoticed, but
at one town where he staid a night, the 
Governor shewed him some kindness, to re-
pay which Richard gave him so splendid and
costly a ring that it was known he could be
no other than the King of England; so he
was seized and thrown into a dungeon where
he might have stayed all his life without his
friends discovering him had it not been for
the  constancy of one of his old followers, to
whom he had shewn kindness, who wandered
all over the country seeking him, and at
last, as he sat one evening under the walls
of an old castle, began to sing an old song
which Richard bad composed. When the
King in the depths of his prison heard the
notes he look them  up and finished the  song.
The  last  act of his life was one of mercy: he
and his soldiers had attacked a castle from
which a bow-man firing his arrow through a
loop hole had wounded the King beyond all
hope of cure. The castle was taken and the 
man who   had shot the  arrow was brought
before the King. " What harm have I done
you," said he to him, "that you should thus
have attempted my death?" "You killed
my father and brother," said the man,
" and I rejoice to have slain you."
Richard bore the answer patiently and
ordered the man to he set at liberty.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DAUGHTER.
The Princess Royal of England, the eldest
born child of Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
and who was married last year to Prince
Frederick William, heir apparent to the
Crown of- Prussia, was safely delivered of a
son at Berlin, in February. Within six
minutes of the happy event, the joyful tidings
were made known at Windsor Castle by
means of that wonder of the age  the EIec-
tric Telegraph. The rejoicings throughout
Prussia were of the most heartfelt kind, and
grand doings were in preparation for cele-
brating the Christening of the young Prince.
The  Queen was unable to be present at the
ceremony; but it was intended that Her
Majesty and Prince Albert should pay a visit
to Berlin in the course of the au-
tumn.
AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 15TH TO THE 30TH JUNE.
Since our last, we have had several arri-
vals both from Sydney and Melbourne, with
intelligence to the  12th instant. The pro-
duce markets remained in the same dull, in-
active, state; a slight rise in flour having
taken place, notwithstanding a strong pre-
vailing opinion that prices must give way.
From Melbourne, under date of the 10th
instant, they write—"There is a fair inquiry
for flour for country orders, and a slight de-
cline on quoted prices; but, as holders  will
make no reduction in their demands, no
transactions are reported." At Melbourne,
as in Sydney, fine flour is quoted at £25,
second quality £25 per ton—Wheat 9s. to
9s. 6d.—Bran 1s, 6d. In Auckland wheat
fetches 10s- per bushel, and we regret to
remark that the supply comes but slowly to
hand.
For next season's crop, the prospects are
o taua tangata, engari, i mea atu ki ana ta-
ngata kia tukua kia haere.
Koia hoki, ahakoa tangata, ahakoa whe-
nua, aha ranei, aha ranei, e whakananu ana

very promising, not only for the purpose of
export, but for home consumption in New
Zealand. This year, in New South Wales,
Victoria, and New Zealand, the crops have
been not only greatly deficient in quantity,
but so badly harvested as to require to be
immediately used. This will occasion an
enhanced demand for the ensuing crop in
the  Australian colonies, whilst a far larger
quantity will be required for home con-
sumption than has ever yet been known since
the arrival of Europeans in this country.
Before the harvest can be gathered there will
be many hundreds, if not thousands, added
to the population of the Northern part of
this island; indeed from the commencement
of the  present year to the close of the pre-
sent month upwards of 1500 persons were
calculated to have sailed from England for
Auckland. These new-comers must be fed.
Now then is the lime for the New Zealand
farmers to prepare to enrich themselves.
The arrivals, since our last, are the
schooner Zephyr, 56 tons, Captain Evering-
him, from Melbourne, with goods and 7 pas-
sengers; the barque Frowning Beauty, 367
tons, Captain Dunning, from Sydney, with a
 large cargo of merchandize, and 2 passen-
gers. This fine vessel has been purchased
for the Auckland trade, and is intended to
sail early next year, with a cargo of wool,
gum, oil, flax, and other New Zealand pro-
duce from Auckland to London:—the Bishop
of New Zealand's schooner, Southern Cross,
69 tons, Captain Grange, from the South
Seas, with 3 passengers; the steam ship Lord
Worsley, 290 tons. Captain Johnson, from
Nelson and New Plymouth, with 21 bags 46
boxes onions, 1 case bacon, 5 bullocks, 40
quarters beef, 2 sheep, 2 sacks wheat, i cask
bulter, 12 passengers; White Swan, steam
ship, 198 tons, Captain Cellem, from the
South, with 144 bushels wheat from Napier,
sundry goods, 15 passengers; Sarah, brig.
121 tons, Firth, from Sydney, with a general
cargo; William Watson, barque, 480 tons,
Captain Macfarlane, from Nelson, in ballast;
Mimmie Dyke, three masted schooner, 96
tons, Captain Kensett, from Melbourne, with
an assorted cargo, 6 passengers; Gil Blas,
brig, 175 tons, Captain Gallois, from Mel-
bourne, with goods. 5 passengers.
There have sailed, Lochnagar, barque,
580 tons, Captain Jenkins, for London, with
280½ tons kauri gum, 70 tons copper ore,
16½ tons flax, 6½ tons towai bark, 1½ tons
tuns oil, 87 gallons head matter, 1 ton whale-
bone, 1 bale sheep skins, a quantity of na-
tural curiosities, old metal, and 10 passen-
tawahi, hei whangai hoki i nga tangata o
konei. Ko nga kai hoki o Atareiria, o Wi-
kitoria, o Niu Tirani, o te tau ka pahure nei.
i tino kore rawa, i kohia kinotia hoki, ka
rua; na konei te pai ai ki te rongoa, engari
ka hohorotia te kai; ko te take tera i mea ai
matou, ha manakohia nuitia te kai a houa-
nga nei ki nga Koroni o Atareiria, a he tau
tenei e tino nui ai te pau o te kai ki tenei
motu, ara, te tau e haere ake nei. Ekore
hoki e taea te wa kotinga witi kua  tokomaha
haere nga Pakeha ki tenei pito o te motu
nei. E kiia ana, ko nga Pakeha rere mai i
Ingarani, no te timatanga o tenei tau tae noa
ki te mutunga o tenei marama, ka i 500; ko
enei katoa ka haere mai ki Akarana nei; na
ekore enei e taea te whakatiki ki te kai. Ko
tenei ko tona rangi waimarie tenei, ko to te
kai ngaki whenua i Niu Tirani, ko tona ta-
kiwa whakawhiwhinga ki te rawa, ara, me
mahi nui te kai hei hoko.
