TE KARERE MAORI OR MAORI MESSENGER

VOL. III.]   AUCKLAND,  MARCH  3O, 1863.—AKARANA, MAEHE 3O, 1863.   [No. 2.
" Good books are like true friends , they will } never fail us; never cease to instruct— never cloy." OUR last issue contained the decision of the Governor on the dispute be-tween the Chiefs Matiu Te Aranui, and Te Tirarau, with a few remarks thereon. We insert in the present number the evidence taken before the arbitrators, on the first and second day of examination. The care and patience manifested throughout this protracted investigation, will be long remembered by the Kaipara and Nga-puhi Chiefs. And, certainly the whole of the proceedings will contrast most favourably with the proceedings and course of action, excited and  un-certain, pursued by the natives in similar circumstances. the task allotted to his Excellency as umpire in this case, has been al-ready glanced at, and is seen from many points of view, to he onerous, particularly so from the fact, that no basis of agreement could be fixed by" Ko nga pukapuka papai, e penei ana me nga hoa pono; te whakarere i a tatou— te mutu te ako — te whakatina." Ko to matou whakaputanga kupu i mua mai o tenei, i whakaaturia te whakaotinga o te Kawana i runga i te tautohetohe o nga rangatira, a Matiu Te Aranui, a Te Tirarau ;a, i puta ano he kupu mo runga i taua mahi. Ko tenei, ka taia iho nga korero o te ra tuatahi, o te ra tua-rua, i whakapuakina ki te aroaro o nga Kai-whakawa. Ko te ata mahi me te manawanui o runga o tenei whakawakanga mutu noa, ina wha-karitea ki to te Maori tikanga oho-oho, kahakahaki haere, i runga i nga mahi penei, tera e kitea ko te pai kei tenei tu whakawakanga. Ko te mahi i karangatia, ko te Kawana hei Tumuaki mo tenei whakawa, hei whakapuaki i te kupu whakaotinga, kua oti ano te whaka-atu; a, ina tirohia i runga i nga pitopito o te korero, ekore tona tai.

the contending parties, either before, or after an actual collision had taken place. The Arbitrators, on the other : hand, confessed also their inability to unravel the knotty question; and meet-ing with barriers of Maori usages on all sides, they were compelled to so-licit the aid of Sir George Grey, whose great experience, and mature judgment, qualified him to give a de-cision at once simple and just. How long this land dispute would have continued, — over what extent of country it would hate spread ; and how many valuable lives would have been lost to the New Zealand tribes, had not the Governor opportunely met the combatants face to face, we will not determine ; but we are cer-tain that many tribes would have been involved in the quarrel, and much blood recklessly shed, before the dis-pute could be settled. • The natives do not require to be told, that a human being is of infini-tely greater value than all the land in the universe ; but strange to say, al-though this fact is admitted by them, when land disputes unhappily arise, they evince a readiness to kill their fellow men as surprising as it is wicked.  Why do the Maori say one • thing, and practice another ? Why so they tell us that it is wrong to take life, and upon the slightest provoca-tion rash to arms? We shall be better pleased to find, that the profes-sions of moral goodness made by them, are practically! exhibited before the world,— to find that the vicious propen sity of resorting to brute force has beer abandoned, in relation to territoriaKo te roa o te takiwa hei kume-nga haeretanga mo tenei ngangare; — ko te toronga haeretanga ki runga ki te roa whenua; ko te hira o te tangata e ngaro i roto i nga hapu o Niu Tireni i te pakanga, me kaua te mokowhititanga mai o te Kawana ki waengarahi o te hunga kakawe, titiro ana he kanohi, be kanohi, ka-hore e wha whakina e matou; ko te mea ia, e matauria putia ana, he hira nga hapu e uru ki te pakanga, he nui te rewanga o te toto, i mua atu o te whauwhanga rongo. Me korero ano hoki koia ki nga Maori, ko te tangata, he hira noa ake i nga whenna katoa o te ao; otira, ahakoa e whakaae ana nga Maori ki te tika o tenei ki, i te mea e puta nei nga ngangare mo te whe-nua, i kona tata te pakanga ki te patu tangata, a matarahi ana te mi-harotanga o te ngakau ki te nui o to ratou kino.

 rights — and to know that the Maori have determined to bring their dis-puted land claims before a proper tribunal. There is no reason why the Natives, generally, should not follow the good example set them by the Ngatitautahi and Ngatiwhakaeke, of Kaikohe ; the Ngatitoki, of Manga-kahia; and the Ngaiporou, of Marei-kura, who settled, by arbitration in Auckland in February last, their land dispute, which for a lengthened period had caused frequent outbursts, of violent feeling; and much loss of life. There is much to be done by the New Zealanders generally, before they can claim any affinity with moral excellence. Let them, then, set to work in earnest; let them convince the civilized peoples of other countries that the Maori are capable of being civilized; and let them prove them-selves, in every respect, to be worthy of the paternal solicitude of their European friends. WE have been favoured with several numbers of the "Pihoihoi" a new Maori publication, printed and pub-lished at the Otawhao School, Wai-kato. The first number contains an in-troductory article, well digested, ex-plaining the object and aim of the editor, who having, by his address, gained the attention of the Maori community, chants, for their edifica-tion, a plaintive song, which will be found in another page. There is also au article on the "Evils of Kingism," by no means flattering to the Waikato confederation. An excellent letter by Dr. Rawson follows, showing the sad social condition of the Maori tribes inhabiting the shores of the Thames and Upper Waikato, thekua oti te whakarere te tikanga papapapa i runga i nga, korero mo te ekenga ki te whenua,— ina mohio kua tuturu te kawe mai i o ratou totohe whenua ki runga ki te wha-kawakanga tika.

HEATH, | ERUENA TE HORO. JANUARY 13TH, 1863. Hare Hikairo : This is the question I have to put — Is it allowable for me to read my written statement? Mr. Bell: Yes; if any have written their statements, they ea n read them off. Hare Hikairo: Concerning the statement made by Tirarau — that he was living on that land (the land in dispute) when Te Hira made an aggressive movement and blood was made to flow. Now this is the real reason why that blood flowed. Matiu and his people were living at Mangakahia — when he heard that Maunga tapere had been sold, that Tangihua had been sold, that Maungaro had been sold, .that a trench (land mark) had been dug at one — then Matiu became concerned about his land, that the remaining portions of his land should go back to him he then appointed the meeting at Mangakahia— Matiu thought after the meeting at Maungahia that that was the time he would lose the remaining portions of his land which still remained to him; he had never received anything, that was the reason that blood was spilt. I will now read my written statement. This is the writing of the ances-tors of Matiu written at the great meeting at Mangakahia on the 20th of April in the year 1858, commencing at Rangi; — from Rangi came Tahinganui, Te Whakatangaroa; from Tahi-nganui came Whitikainga Kahukura, Ngati Hi-ne; from Whitikainganui came Rangionewaru Atuahaere, Whawhakia; from Rangioruawaru came Mataroa came Whawhakia, Waiheke from Whawhakia came Tuwhewhe; from Tu whewhe came Harata Kowhawha; from Wai-heki came Paikea, Puatawhaki, Hohepakopa from Hohepakopa came Te Koui; from Te Atuahaere came Kupu, Teopu, Kiriwehe; from Kiriwehe came Te Ao; from Te Ao, Kirewehe Hiamoe; from Hiamoe, Toroauru; from Toroa-uru came Putangarau ; from Putangarautokomaha, tera e reia putia : e te' Ture te tangata e whakawai ana kia oma, e whakahoa ana, e huna ana, e whakamahi ana ranei i taua hunga tahuti.

maladies which afflict them, with plain directions for the amelioration of their pitiable condition. ' There is but one article in the second number, — Sir George Grey's visit to the Waikato in January last, which we are sure will be read with pleasure, being a graphic de-scription of His Excellency s inter-views with the natives, and other occurrences during the journey. No. 3 gives a paper on the sup-pression of intoxicating drinks, a letter from the Native Minister in relation to the same subject, and a brief account of the late fire at Auckland, all of which are interest-ing to general readers. "We hail the advent of our friend the "Pihoihoi" with all heartiness, being assured that there is a long course of usefulness before him; and although there may be much up-hill work, and many opponents who are not to be silenced by sound argu-ments, let the " Pihoihoi Mokemoke i runga i te Tuanui" — the " Lonely Sparrow on the House-top," — con-sole himself by the fact, that his path is the right one, leading to the sum-mit of true excellence, and that the principles he advocates must ulti-mately triumph.

Downing street, September 20th, 1862. SIR,— I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 62, of the 11th June, transmitting an address of condolence to the Queen from the native people of Aotea. I request that you will inform the subscri-bers to this address that Her Majesty has been much pleased at receiving this proof of the loyalty and affection of her native sub-jects in New Zealand. • • I have, &c., NEWCASTLE. Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B., * &c., &c. &c. OTAKI NATIVE POLICE. The following papers, viz., a memorandum from the Resident Magistrate, Manawatu, Mr. Buller, and a letter from Aomarere Te Puna, a Warden of that District, dated November o, 1862, will, we are assured, be read with pleasure by all the friends of order. The steady determination of the Magis-trate to uphold the dignity of ihe law, and the promptitude of the Warden in the execution of bis instructions, are fads pro-claiming the efficiency of the new system, and which we feel great satisfaction in recording. MEMORANDUM. . As a proof of the efficiency of the Otaki Native police, I forward (annexed) a letter from one of the Wardens, Te Aomarere Te Puna, whom I had entrusted with the exe-cution of four distress warrants. The letter itself is a very fair official pro-duction, and my instructions have been carried out in a manner very creditable to the police. • This is the first attempt I have made in this district to distrain on Native property. The aggregate amount distrained for was £2618s.4d. I expected three of the warrants to be returned, nulla bona, instead of which the whole of ihe money has been paid, and a constable was sent up here to-day to pay the amount into my hands. The duly has been well and promptly executed by the Native police .where Euro-pean police would have probably failed from the difficulty of identifying individual pro-perty. - • . .
