"Good   books  are  like true  friends; they will
  never   fail us ; never  cease  to instruct—never
   cloy."               

THE  Native policy enunciated by
the Governor,  Sir George Grey, is
known to the Maori people, an ex-
planatory paper having appeared in
the " Maori Messenger" of Decem-
ber the 16th, 1861; and competent
authorities assure us, that it has given
general  satisfaction.
  It will be well, perhaps, to advert
to some of the leading points of the
system, as its object is, to teach the
Maori "to work  for the common
good of the country in which they
live"; so that in time they  may
become  " a happy people, rich, wise,
and well instructed, and every year
advancing in prosperity."
   Firstly, then: " The parts of the
Island inhabited by Maoris, will be
" Ko nga pukapuka papai, e penei ana me nga hoa
  pono; te whakarere i a tatou—te mutu te ako—te
  whakatina."

Ko nga tikanga a te Kawana, a Ta
Hori Kerei, mo nga iwi Maori, e
matauria ana, na te mea, i taia ki te
" Karere Maori" i Tihema 16, 1861,
te pukapuka; a, e kiia mai nei e te
hunga e mohio ana, kua putaputa te
whakapai o te tokomaha.
  Ka pai pea kia tohutohungia nga
mea hori pu i roto i taua tikanga, na
to mea, ko tona take tenei, he wha-
kaako i nga  tangata Maori, "kia
mahi tahi i te pai mo te whenua e
nohoia nei;" kia waiho ai ratou " hei
iwi hari, whai-taonga, tohunga, ako-
nga o te pai; a, kia purero haere ki
te whai-rawatanga."
   Na, ko te tuatahitanga. " Ko nga
wahi o tenei motu e nohoia ana e te
tangata Maori, ka wehewehea, ki te

marked   off into several Districts, 
according  to tribes or divisions of i
tribes, and the natural features of
the country."                       
  2. " A learned and good European ;
to assist the Maoris in the work of
making laws, and enforcing them,"
will be appointed by the Governor,
and  "will be called the Civil Com-
 missioner."
   3. " There will be a Runanga for
that District, which will consist of a
certain number of men chosen from
 the Assessors."         
   4. " Every District will be subdi-
 vided into Hundreds, and in each of
 these there will be  Assessors ap-
 pointed" chosen by the Natives, and
 subject to the approval of the Go-
 vernor.
   5. A European  Magistrate will be
 located in each District, who, with
 the Assessors, will hold Courts " for
 disputes, cattle  trespass, and   all
 breaches of the law."
   6. " There will be Policemen, and
 one chief Policeman to every Hun-
 dred," whose  duty shall be  "to
 summon  all persons against whom
 there  are complaints,  before the
 Courts of the Assessors," and to " see
 that the orders of the Assessors are
 carried out."

   7. The  "fines which shall be
 paid" are to be " applied to some
 public uses"; the Commissioner or
 Magistrate  taking charge of " this
 money   till it is required."
    8. Schools are to be established in
 the Maori Districts, the Natives pay-
 ing " part of the salary of the School
 Teacher," and the Governor paying
 the remainder.

    9. A  European  Doctor will be
  stationed in each  District, if the
  Natives wish, who  will receive a
ritenga o nga iwi, o nga hapu, o te
ahua o nga whenua.
  2. "Ko  tetahi Pakeha pai, tohu-
nga ki te whakaaro hei hoa mo nga
Maori ki te hanga ture, ki te whaka-
mana  hoki," ka whakaturia e te
Kawana, a, "ko te ingoa e karanga-
tia mona, ko te Tumuaki Whaka-
haere."
  3. " E tu he  Runanga  ki taua
Takiwa;  a, ko nga tangata mo roto,
e whiriwhiria i nga  Kai-whakarite
whakawa."
  4. "Ko nga Takiwa e motumotu-
hia, ka huaina aua momotuhanga ko
nga  Takiwa-iti; a, i roto i enei, ka
karangarangatia he Kai-whakarite
ma nga Maori enei e whiriwhiri, ma
te Kawana e whakaae.
  5. E  whakanohoia   tetahi Kai-
whakawa   Pakeha, i tenei i tenei
takiwa, ko ia, ko nga Kai-whakarite
hoki, hei karanga i nga Kooti, hei
whakawa, "mo   nga ngangare, mo
 nga kau e poka ana, mo nga whati-
 whatinga katoa o te Ture."
   6. "E whakaturia he Karere, a,
 kotahi Tino Karere  i tenei, i tenei
 Takiwa-iti;" ko te tikanga mo ratou,
 "he hamene i nga tangata katoa e
 korerotia ana ki nga Kooti  o nga
 Kai-whakarite;" a, ki te "whaka-
 mana i nga kupu whakahau o nga
 Kai-whakarite."
   7. " Ko nga whaine e utua ana,"
 me tuku " ki etahi mea hei whakanui
 mo te iwi" ma te Tumuaki-whaka-
 haere, ma te Kai-whakawa Tuturu
 ranei e pupuru, "rite noa te wa hei
 whakamahinga mo aua moni."
   8. E whakaturia he Kura ki nga
 Takiwa Maori, ma nga tangata Maori
 " e utu tetahi wahi o te takowha mo
 nga Kai-whakaako," ma te Kawana
 e utu te toenga.
   9. E  whakanohoia  ki  ia ki ia

 hiahiatia e nga tangata Maori, ko te

salary from the Government ; but all who require his services " will pay for them, except such as the Runanga may decide to be too poor to do so." 10. The Runangas will have "to decide all disputes about the lands," and, "make a Register, in which should be written a statement of all the lands within the District of that Runanga." The next matters commanding the attention of the Native tribes are, the " Orders in Council," appointing Districts under the " Native Circuit Courts Act," and the "Native Dis-tricts Regulation Act." With the hope that the Natives will better under-stand these regulations, the Districts will be named, and the dates when the " Orders in Council" were passed. They may, therefore, read for them-selves the full particulars in the Messengers previously forwarded to the various Maori settlements. ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

The Natives may "ask how this extensive machinery is to be worked.

BAY OF ISLANDS. His Excellency, accompanied by General Cameron and Mr. Fox, the Colonial Secretary, arrived at the Bay of Islands on the 5th of January, and " on the morning of Wednesday, the 6th, the Governor went on shore, when he was received by the whole population, the natives and Euro-peans vying with each other to do him honour." At the Waimate, the Governor was received with continuous cheer-ing, having been escorted thither by four hundred "native horsemen, rid-ing in military order," displaying the Union Jack.

from the big guns and smaller arms," and on the occasion of his landing at Herd's Point, himself and suite "were welcomed by the exhibition of the Maori war dance; 1500 natives having assembled here to meet the Governor." LOWER WAIKATO. At Waiuku Sir George Grey and party were met by "a large con-course of natives and Europeans, who greeted His Excellency back again to New Zealand with a most cordial welcome, and conducted him to a large tent erected for the occa-sion, where about 150 Europeans and Maoris sat down together to a substantial repast." The leading na-tive chiefs congratulated the Gover-nor with much warmth of feeling, and the Waiuku settlers presented a courteous " Address, which was graciously responded to by the Governor." At Kohanga, the mission premises of the Venerable Archdeacon Maun-sell, "the natives were awaiting His Excellency's arrival, the way to the settlement being lined by men on one side, and women and school children on the other; while the manifestation of joy at the return of their former Parent" was exceedingly great. The hearty reception of Sir George Grey at the Lower Waikato may be deduced from the speeches delivered by the principal chiefs on the occa-sion of His Excellency's visit. We annex a few extracts: — " Welcome ! 0 Governor, to Wai-kato :— to the house which has been shattered ; to the path which has be-come overgrown ; to the fence which has been broken down. Come to the sheep which have been scattered ; they are scattered because there isI te anganga atu ki Te Waimate, umere tonu te mano; a, ko te kai-arataki i a te Kawana, e wha rau (400) "o nga Maori i runga i te hoiho, e toi-whakahoia ana," a wha-kamoiritia ana te Haki o Ingarangi.

Come in peace and in love, bearing in mind the words of Potatau, who though dead is here in sentiment. Gome peace-fully, 0 Governor, and look on us, and let us look on you." " Come, 0 my father, to Waikato ; its stream is turbid, but do you cause its waters to become clear, and in-troduce to us your institutions." "Welcome, 0 Governor. Bring the laws to Waikato, and although they have become effiete, you will re-new them. Bring them as a restora-tive, to be with us for ever." "Come hither, O Governor. This is the right thing, and the thing that will ensure peace, even the law. Let me place it in my basket, that it may not be destroyed by the moth." "Welcome, 0 my friend the Governor, with your system. Tou have apportioned benefits to each, and every one is receiving the as-surance of good will." '« Welcome, 0 Governor. Come graciously and peacefully; come to the land. You have opened unto us the treasure house." " Welcome, 0 Governor. Come and hear the speeches of this coun-cil, and bring with you tidings of peace for the whole of New Zealand." It will be seen that but a few lo-calities have been divided into Dis-tricts and Hundreds ; but it must not be conjectured that the Maori inhabiting these Districts are the only tribes who have received as a boona Kawana Kerei. Ka tukua atu nei etahi kupu: — " Haere mai e te Kawana ki Wai-kato ; ki te whare kua pakaru ; ki te ara kua ururuatia.; ki te taiepa pa-karu. Haere mai ki nga hipi kua marara. Kahore he kai-tiaki mo nga hipi, koia i marara ai. Haere mai ki ou nohoanga;— haere mai ki uta." " Ka karanga atu au ki taku hoa ki ate Kawana, — haere mai. Haere mai i te pai i te aroha, i runga i nga kupu a Potatau, ahakoa kua mate ia, te ora nei nga ki. Haere mai i te marie e te Kawana kia kite, kia kite atu." " Haere mai e taku papa .ki Wai-kato, ki te awa kua pouri ; otira, whakamaramatia e koe. Kawea mai au tikanga.? " Haere mai e te Kawana. Kawea mai. te Ture; ahakoa kua popopopo, mau ano e whakahou Kawea mai hei rongoa, ake ake." " Haere mai e te Kawana. Ko te mea tika ano tena, ko te mea hei whakatupu i te pai, ara, ko te Ture.

" Haere mai e te Kawana. Haere mai me te atawhai, me te aroha; — haere mai ki uta; kua pakaru i a koe te toa o te taonga." " Haere mai e te Kawana. Haere mai, kia rongo koe i nga korero o tenei runanga; a, kawea mai e koe te kupu pai mo Niu Tireni puta noa."

the newly initiated system; on the contrary, natives in. many other places, not yet gazetted, have made considerable progress in the arrange-ments for the establishment of coun-cils, schools, and making roads. Grants have been made to Schools in the Maori Districts ; at Rotorua, £200 ; at Tauranga, £300 ; and sun-dry sums for various other Districts have been proposed, but not yet settled. Regarding public roads in the Maori country, many tribes have manifested great anxiety to engage in this department ; as, for instance, the people of the Bay of Islands, Kaipara, and Mangonui Districts; but the more important intelligence perhaps is, the desire of the Maketu and Lower Waikato people to open the roads through their territories. A grant of £500 has been made to enable William Naylor forthwith to carry out his excellent scheme of uniting the Upper Waikato and Whaingaroa by a good bridle road. He has, very wisely, we think, deter-mined to commence operations on the banks of the Waipa river, in the Upper Waikato country. We may here state that, the total native population within the limits of the Lower Waikato District, as constituted by the recent Order in Council, is 3585; out of this num-ber Mr. Armitage estimates that 688 reject the Governor's scheme (in-cluding the people at Paetai, &c.), leaving 2697 as the number assent-ing" It may not be out of place to enumerate the settlements where the native tribes have accepted Sir George Grey's system, the object being to give at one view the pro-gressive steps taken by the agents' of Government.kahua, i whakaae nui ki nga Tikanga hou ; haunga ra mata ena, — he tini ke atu nga wahi, kiano i panuitia kua pa ki te mahi, a, kua takitutu nga runanga, me nga Kura, kua oti hoki nga tikanga mo nga huarahi Kua tukua atu nga mea owha noa ki nga Takiwa Maori mo nga Kura; haere ake mo Rotorua £200, mo Tauranga £300 ; a, kua puta te kupu mo nga owha noa, mo etahi atu Takiwa, ka whano ka oti. Na, ko nga huarahi i nga whenua o te tangata Maori, he hira nga iwi e tino hiahia ana kia pa ratou ki ia mahi ; ina nga wahi, ko Tokerau puta atu, ko Kaipara, ko Mangonui ; otira, ko te mea i nui ake i roto i te korero huarahi, ko te tikanga o nga iwi o Rotorua, o Waikato-whaka-raro, kia whakapuaretia nga ara ki o ratou na papatupu. Kua oti te whakarite nga moni £500 kia puta, ai te tikanga pai o Wiremu Nero,—: te tuhononga o Waikato ki runga ki Whaingaroa ki te huarahi ata-ahua. Mea ai maua, nui atu te tika o te whakaaro o Wiremu e mea nei, kia timata taua mahi i nga pare-parenga o te awa o Waipa, ki Wai-kato-whakarunga. Kia mea atu e -maua i konei, "ko nga tangata, hui katoa, i roto i nga kaha o te Takiwa ki Waikato-wha-kararo i whakaritea ra e te Ki Ru-nanga i naia tata nei, 3585 ; ko nga mea i rere ki waho i enei, e ki ana a Amutiti, 688, hui katoa ki tera hunga i Paetai ; ko nga mea i mau mai, e ae ana ki a te Kawana, 2697." Ka tika pea kia tatau haere i nga wahi o nga iwi i hopu nei i nga ture hou o te Kawana, o Ta Hori Kerei, ko te take, he huhu mai, kia ata kitea i te tirohanga kotahi, te hikoi-nga-wae o nga hoa o te Kawana-tanga.

Tera ata ano etahi wahi, heoi, me kati i enei hei whakamohio kau i te rau.
THE ROADS. Our Native friends are informed that a road is about to be formed from the Waipa river, Upper Waikato, to the settlement of Raglan. The necessary arrangements as to surveyors and engineers have been com-pleted, and the work will be proceeded with immediately. We consider it a most advisable step that the Natives who originated the idea of opening up this line of way, should have determined to commence their operations on the Waipa side of the country. Certainly this is a step in the right direction, and shows, clearly the mature judgment of Wiremu Nero and bis associates. The Government has very liberally met the wishes of the Maori in this matter, having engaged that a sum of 4s. per diem shall be paid for all Native labour. The Natives, therefore, who wish to be employed on this roadway will simply make application to Mr. Gorst of Otawhao, or Mr. Armitage of Raglan.NGA HUARAHI. He whakaaturanga ienei ki nga hoa Maori ka whano ka puare he huarahi i te awa o Waipa ki Waikato-whakarunga, taea noatia te nohoanga o nga tangata i Whaingaroa. Kua takiotioti nga tikanga mo nga kai-ruri, nga tohunga titiro, me nga kai-whakahau ; a, i naia tata nei ka timata te mahi. Whakaaro ai maua, he tohungatanga tenei no te whakaaro o nga tangata Maori na ratou i mea, kia timatatia te mahi mo tenei huarahi i te taha ki Waipa. Nui atu te marama o tenei tikanga ; a, i whakatinana pu nga mahara a Wiremu Nero ratou ko nga hoa, i ranga i tenei tikanga. Kua tuhonoa ngu whakaaro o te Kawana-tanga i runga i te atamai, ki nga hiahia o nga Maori i roto i tenei tikanga ; kua whakaae kia puta nga hereni e wha 4s. mo te ra, ina mahi nga Maori. Mo konei, ko nga tangata Maori e mea aua kia uru ki taua mahi, me ki atu ki a Te Kohi, kei Ota-whao, ki a Amutiti kei Whaingaroa.
THE MIDDLE ISLAND. Let not our friends the Ngaitahu, the Nga-titama, the Ngatimamoe, and the Ngatiawa, of the Middle Island suppose that they are forgotten or neglected by the Governor Sir George Grey. The momentous affairs of the Northern Island have engrossed the time of His Excellency so fully, that he has not been able to make satisfactory arrangements, for the introduction of the new system of Native Government, into the Middle Island districts, inhabited by the Natives. More-over, His Excellency is most desirous to visit the Native people there, and to ascertain by personal inquiries what they really need.TE MOANA POUNAMU. Kauaka o matou hoa a Ngaitahu, a Ngati-tama, a Ngatimamoe, a Ngatiawa, e wha-kaaro, tenei a Kawana Ta Hori Kerei te wareware nei, te whakarere rukaruka nei i a ratou. Ko nga tikanga nunui o te Motu ki raro hei whakaware tonu i a te Kawana, te ai he take watea, kia ata whakaritea e ia nga mahi o te Kawa-natanga hou, mo nga Maori ki nga wahi o te Waipounamu e nohoia mai nei e nga iwi Maori. Waihoki, e nui ana te hiahia o te Kawana kia kite kanohi ia i nga iwi o konei, kia patapataia nga whakaaro, kia ata matauria ai nga mea e pai ana mo ratou.

The Maori of the Middle Island are few in number, and perhaps they imagine that they are in consequence unregarded. Let them be assured that the Government is most anxious to serve them, because they feeble and few, and it will certainly see that their interests are not overlooked. Asses-sors will be appointed, and other matters of necessity will be attended to. In the mean-time, let the Chiefs and people exercise patience, the time to aid them having not yet come. The  Chiefs at Nelson are also advised to confer with their friend Mr. Mackay, who will explain to them the policy of the Government, that officer having been written to on the subject.E tokoouou ana nga Maori o te Waipou-namu, a, tenei pea te ki nei, na to ratou iti i ahua mahue ai. Kia matau ratou, he noi pu te hiahia o te Kawanatanga ki te whaka-hoa ki a ratou, na te mea, e ruarua ana, e iwikore ana ; a, ekore rawa nga painga mo ratou e tukua kia whakapahuretia. E wha-katuria ano nga Kai-whakarite whakawa; e oti hoki ehinu atu mahi. Ko tenei, kia mau mai nga whakaaro o nga Rangatira, me te iwi katoa, kia manawanui hoki ; na te mea, kahore ano i ata taka mai te wa e puta atu ai nga painga mo ratou. Na, e kiia atu nei kia korerorero nga Rangatira Maori o Wha-kaiti ki to ratou hoa ki a Te Maki, mana nga tikanga o te Kawanatanga e whakamarama, kua oti hoki te tuhituhi be pukapuka ki a ia i runga i enei tu whakahaerenga kupu.
KAIPARA. The Native people of the Kaipara district, for a lengthened period, bad serious differ-ences amongst themselves regarding owner-ship of land; and frequently each party flew to arms, hoping effectually to settle the vexed question by the effusion of human blood, although they could not be altogether ignorant of the unlawfulness, and wickedness of such proceedings. We are willing to make allowances for the Natives, knowing that their knowledge of civilized usages cannot be perfect; nor should we overlook the difficulty of their position, in consequence of the absence of any lawful tribunal, to decide titles to land. This deficiency we are happy to record, has now been supplied, and as the whole of the Native people on the Kaipara, have gracefully accepted the newly devised sys-tem, for the belter government of the New Zealand race, it is but reasonable to assume, that all Maori mailers, including land titles will be " quietly sealed and in order."KAIPARA. Ko nga tangata Maori e noho ana i Kai-para, he roa noa atu te takiwa i tautohetohe ai ratou mo te whenua ; a i mau ringaringa tetahi hunga ki tetahi, mea ai ratou ma te whakaheke toto, katahi pea ka kitea nga tuturu o te kainga. I matau ano pea ratou ki te kino o ienei tikanga, i matau hoki, ehara i te ture tenei tu tikanga. . E whakangawaretia ana e maua te korero mo nga Maori, na te mea, kihai i tino mohio ki nga tikanga o nga iwi matau nui o te ao ; tetahi, he kore whakawakanga tika mo nga whenua kia ata kitea ai nga mea pa ake o te whenua. Ko te whakawakanga e kiia atu nei kua rite i tenei wa ; a, na te mea, ko nga tangaia katoa o Kaipara kua whakapai ki te Ukanga mo te whakakawanatanga o nga iwi Maori, whakaaro ana maua, a takoto ake nei, ko nga mea Maori katoa, hui hoki ki nga whenua, e "whakaotia marietia i runga i te Ture."
HAPURONA AND THE LAW. "I am cultivating good feelings towards the Maori and Europeans" writes Hapurona of Taranaki, Feb. 1, 1862, —"Be not sad on my account, for no evil will emanate from me." Were the sentiments of our friend Hapu-rona always thus, it would be well ; but this subdued strain ill accords with the late de-fiant attitude he assumed brandishing his club, and threatening vengeance against the Europeans in consequence of an allegedHAPURONA ME TE TURE. "E whakatipu ana au i te whakaaro pai, mo nga tangata Maori mo nga Pakeha," e ai ko te tuhituhi a Hapurona o Taranaki i Pepuere 1, 1862: "kei pouri ki au, kahore he kino e puta i au." Me he mea i penei tonu te whakaaro a to matou hoa a Hapurona, kua pai ; otira, e rere ke ana enei kupu maenene, i tana karangatanga kia pama te Pakeha, i tona tupahupahutanga, i te karawhiunga ai o tana poupouwhenua, mo te panga o te ringa

assault upon his son. But suppose we grant that some allowance should be made for Hapurona on the occasion of his sons late chastisement contrary to law; what means the following sentence written in his more sober moments? I am displeased for having been taken to goal. If the land had gone to you it would have been well for me to have been enslaved, but as it is, my weapon has not been broken by you and the Governor and yet you took the liberty to seize me while you and the Governor are proposing peace. There is not the slightest allusion here to the justice or dignity of the law. Hapu-rona reasons, as did his forefathers centuries ago. His appeal is to brute force; to the physical strength of one man over his fellow one nation over another. But let us re mind our friend that there is such a thing as Law, and that its dignity must be upheld. His late lodgment in gaol must convince him of the truthfulness of this assertion; and if Hapurona and his unruly son Horopapera have no wish to be degraded in the eyes of the world, let them wisely refrain from the vice of intemperance which carries in its train a host of evils ; and let them hear in mind that if they never stretch forth their hands against the law, the law will never stretch forth its hand against them.tangata ki tana tama. Ki te mea, ma te whakaaro e whakaiti te hanga tupekepeke a Hapurona i te patanga turekoretanga o tana tama, he aha ano nga kupu i tuhi tuhia e ia muringa iho i runga i te mauri tatu? "Kotahi ano te wahi i pouri nei ahau, ko taku kawenga ki te whare-here here. Me he mea kua riro te whenua i a koutou, e pai ana kia whakataurekarekatia ahau; tena ko tenei, kahore ano i whati taku rakau i a korua ko te Kawana, pokanoa koutou ki te hopu pokanoa i ahau i runga i ta korua maungarongo ko te Kawana." Hore rawa he putanga kupu i enei mo te mana me te rangatiratanga o te ture. E penei ana te rerenga korero a Hapurona me to nga tupuna i nehe ra. Ki te wawahia te kupu ra, kei runga kei te whaka kararehe-tanga— kei runga i te marorotanga o tetahi tangata i tona hoa;— i te kuha o tetahi iwi i tetahi. Otira, kia whakamaharatia atu to matou hoa, —te tu nei ano te Ture; a, ko tona mana me hapai ano. He tika ta matou e ki akenei, ina hoki te whakanohanga o Ha-purona ki te whare-herehere. Na, ki te mea, kahore he hiahia o Hapurona raua ko tana tama tutu, ko Horopapera. kia whaka-tutuatia raua ki nga kanohi o te ao katoa, me whakamutu to raua hara kai waipiro, na te mea he mano nga kino e whai mai ana i te hiku o taua he ; a, kia mahara o raua ngakau, ki te kore e toro mai o raua ringa ki te Ture, ekore hoki te ringa o te Turi e toro atu ki a raua.
Auckland, March 7th, 1862. Sir— If you think the accompanying ob-servations worth a place in the "Maori Messenger," please insert them. PAKEHA MAORI. My Maori Friends,— I have heard many of you express a wish that the Maoris should become one of the great nations of the earth. The wish is a laudable one; but you must alter many matters among you before you take a place among the civilized nations of the world. In former times the power of a nation in war was a great deal considered ; but it is not so now. The first and most important matter is for you to be able to produce all the ne-cessaries of life amongst yourselves,— all those, at least, that your climate will allow of for instance, linen, cloth, timber,Akarana, Maehe 7th, 1862. EKORO,— Ki te mea e whakaaro ana koe ka tika aku korero e tukua atu nei, taia iho ki te ''Karere Maori." PAKEHA MAORI. . E aku hoa Maori,— Kua rongo ahu u ki te hiahia a etahi o koutou ki te Whakaara i te iwi Maori, kia kia ai koutou tetahi o nga iwi nunui o te ao. E tika ana taua hiahia ka nui te tika ; engari, me whakarere nga mea he e koutou, ka rangona ai te ingoa o te iwi Maori e nga iwi mohio o te ao. I nga takiwa onamata, e whakaarohia nuitia ana te kaha o te iwi ki te whawhai. Kua kore inaianei— kahore e whakaarohia te pera. Engari, te mea nui he whakaaro ma koutou, koia tenei— kia poto i a koutou i nga Maori— te mohio ki te hanga i nga mea katoa e whakakakahu ai koutou e whaka-mahi ai hoki— ara, nga mea e taea nei e tenei motu— e Niu Tireni :~he rinena he wuru (mea oti te whatu), he papa, he hiako

With this letter, you will receive a war-, rant of appointment under the hand of the Governor,— also a copy of the Native Dis-trict Regulation and Native Circuit Courts Acts, 1858, with Maori translation. The latter of these Acts defines the duties and powers which belong to your office: it is therefore necessary that you should make yourself acquainted with its provisions. In order to assist you in doing this, and to enable you to understand as clearly as possible the work appointed you by the law, I am in-structed by His Excellency to direct your attention to those portions -of the Act which are most necessary to be understood by you, and to point out the duties assigned to you in the administration of justice under its provisions. You will observe that it is first of all necessary that a district should be appointed by the Governor, within which the Act is to be in force. The warrant now sent to you recites the boundaries of the district within which the jurisdiction given to you, in conjunction with a Resident Magistrate, may be exer-cised. Your district was appointed by the Governor and his Council on and a notification of its appointment was published in the Maori Messenger of A Resident Magistrate has also been appointed by the Governor to hold Courts in your district, and to direct and assist you in the administration of justice according to law. These Courts are to be called " Native Circuit Courts." The Native Circuit Court is formed by the Resident Magistrate with one or more Assessors. It has power to try persons charged with certain offences, and, on con-viction, to inflict the punishment prescribed by law. Most of the offences which may be tried by this Court will be found in the list of criminal offences contained in the summary of the laws translated and publish-ed by the Government, and are those which are there stated to be triable by Justices of the Peace or a Resident Magistrate. The Native Circuit Court may also try offences against any regulations which may be made by the Governor under the Native Districts Regulation Act, 1358." All cases of offences triabte by the Native Circuit Court, except offences for which the law, directs that a fineexceeding £5 may be inflicted, may be heard and decided by the Resident Magistrate and the Assessor or Assessors sitting with him. In cases of offences triable by the Native Circuit Court for which the law directs thatKai-whakarite, hei hoa mo te Kai-whakarite whakawa Tuturu ki te Takiwa Maori kua oti te whakarite ki he meatanga hoki i runga i nga tikanga o te Ture whakarite Kooti Maori, 1858.

a penalty exceeding £5 may be inflicted, the accused must be tried by a Jury, who, on hearing the evidence, must say whether they think him to be guilty or innocent. In such cases it is the duty of the Assessors sitting with the Magistrates to form a list of thirty-six men, from whom the Magistrate must select twelve for a Jury. This Jury, which must never number fewer, than eight persons, tries the accused, and must declare whether in their belief he committed the offence laid to his charge or not. If they cannot agree upon a verdict within four hours, the Magis-trate and Assessors may then, if they think proper, decide the case. If the Jury declare the accused to be guilty, the Court— i.e., the Magistrate and Assessors— may, at its dis-cretion, either convict and punish, or dis-charge him, or direct that he shall be brought again before the Court. If the Jury declare the accused to be not guilty, he must be discharged. Cases of more serious offences against the law, such as are stated in " Nga Ture" to be triable in the Supreme Court, cannot be tried in the Native Circuit Court, but may be enquired into by it, and evidence may be beard by it respecting such offences. Per-sons suspected of such offences may be summoned or apprehended and brought before the Court for examination, and may be committed for trial by it. Offences of this kind must be enquired into by a Jury to be formed in the same way as described above. The duty of the Jury is to hear and con-sider the evidence brought against the accused, and, having done so, to declare whether there is reasonable ground for sus-pecting him to be guilty of the offence charged against him. If they say there is reasonable ground for suspicion, the Resi-dent Magistrate and Assessors may then commit the accused to take his trial in a higher Court, or they may direct that he shall be brought up again for examination, or, if they think it right to do so, may dis-charge him. If the Jury say there is no reasonable ground for suspicion; the accused may not be committed.  Any person charged: with an offence, to be tried or enquired of by the Native Circuit Court, may object to any of the persons selected as jurymen, to the number of six, and the Resident Magistrate must substitute others in the place of the persons ejected to, the persons so substituted to be chosen from among the bystanders, or he may postpone the trial or enquiry.aua hara.

The proceedings of the Court in trying or enquiring into offences are described in §.45 to §47p.p of the Introduction to Nga Ture. The Native Circuit Court has also power to hear and decide all cases of complaint arising between parties both of whom are of the Native race, where the wrong complained of is of that kind which the law allows to be atoned for by compensation from the injuring to the injured party. In such cases if either party, before the commencement of the hearing, request that the case may be tried by a Jury, the Resident Magistrate and Assessors may, if they think proper, order that the case shall be so tried it will then be the duty of the Assessors sitting with the Resident Magistrate, to make a list of eighteen men from persons then present or living with in10 miles of the place where the Court is sitting. From these eighteen; six are to be selected by lot for a Jury. This Jury must never be fewer in number than four. If, however, the parties agree, a Jury may be formed consisting of either fewer or more than six persons, but these must be selected in the manner described above. Any of the persons selected as Jury-men, to the number of three, may be objected to by either of the parties, and the Resident Magistrate must substitute others in their place to be chosen from among the by-standers. The Jury must give an unanimous verdict, and the Court must give judgment according to their verdict, but may prescribe such conditions for satisfying the Judgment as may appear just and reasonable. If the Jury can not agree upon a verdict within four hours, they must be discharged and the cause must stand over until the next sittings of the Court. the Native Circuit Court may also have Jurisdiction in certain cases between Euro-peans and Natives, and also between Europeans, there are cases arising under any regulations which may be made by the Governor and his Council under the " Native Regulation Act, 1858." Such cases may be heard and decided by the Resident Magistrate and his Assessors: in the same manner as the case previously described where both parties are of the Native Race. The proceeding in the trial of these cases is described in § 40 and § 41 of the Introduction to Nga Ture. the Governor with his Council may limit the Jurisdiction of the Native Circuit Court to cases in which the amount claimed does not exceed a certain sum. All questions brought before the Native Circuit Court, which are not triable (?) by aengari ka whai tikanga taua Kooti Maori mo te rapu mo te whakarongo korero mo aua hara.

Jury are to be decided according to the opinion of the Resident Magistrate, where his,opinion is concurred in by the Assessors sitting with him, or by the majority of them. When the majority of the Assessors do not agree with the Resident Magistrate in opinion as to the decision to be given, the case must remain undecided. The Resident Magistrate and the Asses-sors may; "with the consent of the jury take part in their deliberations on any question submitted to them. Summonses may be issued by the Native Circuit Court to parties in cases to be heard by it, also Summonses to witnesses to ap-pear aad give evidence in such cases, also Summonses to persons charged with any offence, and these Summonses are to be signed by the Resident Magistrate or by the Resident Magistrate and one or more As-sessors, or by two Assessors. Warrants to apprehend persons charged with any offence, or to commit such persons for trial in a higher Court, are to be signed either by the Resident Magistrate, or by the Resident Magistrate and one or more As-sessors. Convictions and Distress Warrants are also to be similarly signed. When a Distress Warrant is issued by the Native Circuit Court to be executed in any Native District other than that in which it was issued, it must be endorsed by at least one Assessor residing in the district in which it is intended to be executed. The fees to be taken by the Native Circuit Court upon any proceedings may be fixed by the Governor and his Council. The Governor will appoint persons to re-ceive the same with the fines inflicted by the Court. These fees and fines will be ex-pended under the direction of the Governor in the district in which they are received. The Governor and his Council may make rules for regulating, the practice of the Native Circuit Court in criminal and civil cases. On a careful perusal of the Act under which you are appointed, you will observe that the Assessors— excepting such as may be appointed by the Governor under the xxxii. clause of the Act— have no inde-pendent jurisdiction given to them by law, but certain powers are given to them when associated with a Resident Magistrate. It is important that you should clearly under-stand this, in order that you may not, through want of knowledge, assume powers with which the law has not invested your office, or exercise such powers under an erroneous impression that in so doing you are actinghe, ara mo te whakawa Kirimina, mo te whakawa Hiwhiri hoki.

under the authority of the Government. In connection with this subject, you will understand that the Governor does not wish to interfere with you in settling cases of dispute which may be voluntarily referred to you as a Native Chief, for arbitration, but it is necessary that you should be fully aware that such jurisdiction does not apper-tain to your office as Assessor, and that your decisions will be binding only so far as they may be acquiesced in by the parties con-cerned, the Act under which you are appointed, together with the Resident Ma-gistrates Court Ordinance, lays down rules for your guidance, and defines, the duties of your office, and no proceedings for which authority cannot be found in these Acts will have any legal sanction. A European Ma-gistrate has also been appointed to instruct and guide you, and it will be your duty to apply to him for direction in all matters pertaining to your office and to follow bis advice. You must also understand that no au-thority is given you by law to demand fees or levy fines, except when sitting with a Resident Magistrate in Court. Fees and fines belong to the Queen and can be law-fully received only by persons appointed by her authority for the purpose. If taken by persons not authorized to receive them, they cannot be paid into her Treasury, and they cannot be legally disposed of in any way. The parties from whom they may have been improperly taken, on discovering that they were levied without authority, will consider themselves, aggrieved, and will be less disposed to obey properly constituted authority when called upon to do so, while the persons who improperly demand money in the name of the law, will incur first the dislike, and ultimately the contempt of the people to whom they profess to dispense justice according to law. Without arrogating, to yourself an au-thority not conferred upon you by law, you will find ample employment for your energies and talents in seeking to instruct the people, and inspire them with a respect for the law, and in teaching them by example and precept to yield a ready obedience to the decisions of the Court now established in your district. In the full confidence that you will use your best efforts to this end, and endeavour to discharge the duties of your office faithfully and conscientiously to the best of your ability, the Governor has entrusted you with the appointment, the Warrant of which is now placed in your hand. I am, &c.o to mahi, a me whakarongo tonu koa ki tana ako. Tenei ano hoki tetahi mea e meinga ana kia ata matauria e koe.

CONFESSION OF A SMOKING MINISTER.
  I have  left:off smoking» I could give
you in my own experience in this habit some
items that I think must be a little trouble-
some  to the conscience of any smoking
Minister.    I  indulged in it  till I was
thoroughly convinced that it was not only
opposed  to the  refined sociabilities of life,
but that it was detrimental to  health, be-
 fogging to the  intellect, and  stultifying to
 the sensibilities.


   I wished to preach a sermon  on bene-
 volence requiring to save the  littles for the
 good cause; but my cigar bill faced me. I
 could not well preach on the face of that.



   The subject of temperance came up—I
 felt called to preach upon it, but I could get
 no sound premises from which  to reason,
 that was not destructive to my peace as a
 smoking  Christian.


   I wished to visit my people, but both my
 clothes and my breath indicated that I bad
 been  smoking.   I bad a little rather they
 would  not know  it; besides it might be
 offensive to them. I must stay at home.



    I needed bodily exercise, but I sat down
  and smoked after each meal.  I could not
  spare time for exercise, in fine I grew lazy.
   •

  PI do not know how others get along with
  these daily experiences, but  I could not
  endure them longer, and I am no longer a
  smoker.—Witness

 a, tera pea e kino. Kati, me noho au ki te
 kainga.

   I matau au ka tika kia whakamahia tuku
 tinana; otira, i noho au ki te puhipuhi i te
 mutunga  o  tenei o tenei kai maori. Te
 whakamahia   taku tinana i te kore wahi,
 otira i tino tupu taku mangeretanga.

   Ekore au e mohio ki nga whakaaro o etahi
  atu tangata i tenei ra i ienei ra, i roto i nga
 mea  kua korerotia nei; ko au ia, taimaha
 rukiruki au, te taea te kaupehi aku wha-
 kaaro matapouri; ko tenei, kua mutu taku
  puhipuhi paipa.—Kai  Titiro.

  EDUCATION must  be efficiently conducted.
Whoever  undertakes it ought to be compe-
tent and faithful. It must have agents em-
powered to examine, to appoint, or to dismiss
instructors.  It would be perfectly impossi-
ble, and if possible most injurious, to estab-
lish any  general system  of  education in
which  religious instruction should form no
part.Union Magazine.




   TALKATIVENESS.—Men are born with two
 eyes, but with one tongue, in order that they
 may see twice as much as they say; but
 from their conduct one would suppose, that
 they were born with two tongues and one
 eye: for those talk the most, who  have;
 observed  the  least, and   obtrude  their
 remarks upon anything, who have seen into;
 nothing.—Colton.                       



   KINDNESS, which  is the greatest strength,
 which exerts the widest influence, and does
 the most good, is destined here and hereafter
 to receive the brightest reward-—Maggoon.

   HAVE but one enemy—the Devil. With
him never be reconciled; with thy brother,
 never fall out.—Chrysostom.


    LEAD is heavy, and gold is heavier; but
 take the kingdoms of creation at large, that
  which has the most specific gravity to make
  the earth groan, and to make heaven weep,
 is a lazy man.— An American.

    A PERSON of unsteady character will never
  succeed in any  thing, because he  never
  pursues any object long enough to attain to
  it.—Bowser.
   LITTLE reliance can be placed upon kind
  hearts, quick  sensibilities, and even devo-
  tional feelings, if there be no religious prin-
  ciple to control, and direct, and strengthen
  them.—Southey.


    HE  who  has no taste for order will be
  often wrong in his judgment, and seldom
  considerate or  conscientious in his actions.
  —Lavator.

  TE NGOTU KOMENE.—



Na Kotona.

   Ko te aroha te mea kaha, nana te mana i
 paku atu ki tawhiti, nana nga painga i nui
 ake; a, maoa  te nui o te utu, i tenei ao, i
 tera ao atu.— Na Makoone.

   Ku   kotahitahi he boa riri mou, ko te
 Rewera.  Kaua  e houhia te rongo ki a ia;
 otira, ki tou hoa tangata, kaua rawa e anga
 to whawhai ki a ia.— Na Koraihotemi.

   E  TAIMAHA ana te mata, ko te koura, e
 taimaha ake ana; otira, i roto i nga mea
 katoa o te ao, e tare ai te whenua, e tangi
 ai te rangi, he  tangata mangere te  mea
 taimaha.—He  Marikena.

   KEI te tangata whakaaro awangawanga,
 kahore he mea e oti i a ia, ekore hoki e mau
 te ngakau, no reira te oti ai.— Na Pahu.

   EKORE  ianei e whakauria te whakaaro ki
 runga  ki te hunga e oha ana te ngakau, e
 ngawari ana nga tikanga, e tino aroha ana,
  ki te kahore i takoto i roto i a ratou nga
 tikanga o te whakapono, hei arahi, hei
 whakakaha.—Na  Hautei.

 Ko ia kahore  nei e pai ki te ritenga hei
 whakatika i a ia, e whakaanga ke ona wha-
  kaaro, a ekore e ata maharatia ana mahi,
 ekore e ata tika.—Na Rawatoa-
