GISBORNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1879.
WE propose giving in this article, for the enlighten-
ment of our Native readers, some information rela-
tive to the Constitution of England, on which has
been modelled the Constitution of New Zealand, in
so far as the peculiar circumstances of the Colony
would permit. The form of the Government under
which we live in this colony has been carefully
adapted to meet the wants of all classes of the com-
munity, and to promote the prosperity of the colony
as a whole. By it is secured to us in New Zealand
all the liberties and privileges which are enjoyed
by Her Majesty's subjects in England—liberties

rawa ake ai te toa o Ingarani i to nga iwi katoa
atu o te ao, i nui rawa ai hoki te hae o nga iwi katoa
ki a ia. He take korero nui rawa tenei, e kore e pau
i a matou. E mahara ana matou e kuare ana nga
Maori ki te ahua me nga tikanga o tenei hanga o te
Kawanatanga, nga tu Kawanatanga katoa atu—me
tenei tu Kawanatanga marama rawa ano e noho nei
tatou i raro i te maru o te Kuini. (Kia mohio nga
Maori, he korero ta matou mo te ahua o te Kawanata-
nga katoa kua whakaturia nei hei whakahaere tikanga
i tenei motu; ehara i te whakahaere a Kerei raua ko
te Hihana, etahi atu tangata ranei, ta matou e
korero nei. ) Heoi, ko etahi o nga Maori e
mahara ana ko nga tika mo ratou kaore e
whakaarohia ana e te Kawanatanga o te motu; ko
te iwi Maori e kiia ana he iwi kuare, he iwi whaka-
raruraru tikanga; a, ki te pa atu ratou ki te Kawana-
tanga e Ingarani, katahi ka homai nga tika e kore
nei e taea o ratou, ki konei. E hee ana taua whaka-
aro. I tetahi Waka, i mua tata ake nei, i whakaari
matou i te nuinga ake o te mana pootitanga kei a
ratou i to te Pakeha, me to ratou aheitanga ki te
rehita i o ratou ingoa ki roto ki nga pukapuka tangata
pooti, ki te pai ratou kia pera, kia pooti ratou i nga
pootitanga katoa pera tonu me te Pakeha, kia whai
reo ai ratou ki roto ki te Paremete e hanga nei i nga
ture mo te motu—ara i o ratou mema, Pakeha, Maori.
Ko tenei, me whakaari e matou etahi o nga tikanga o
te Kawanatanga o Ingarani, kia mohio ai ratou, ko te
tauira tena i hangaia ai te Kawanatanga o tenei
koroni, kia mohio ai hoki ratou kaore he tika kaore
he maua o nga Pakeha o Ingarani i kore i a tatou
(nui atu rapea nga tika kei a tatou), ara: —
Ko te Paremete te huinga nui o nga wahanga e
toru o te motu me te iwi katoa o Ingarani; he mea
karanga te huinga i runga i te mana o te Kingi,
Kuini ranei; kia" hurihuri ratou i nga tikanga e ora
ai te iwi, ki te hanga ture hoki; ki te whakakore
ture ranei, Koia nei nga wahanga e toru o te Pare-
mete, ara ko te Kingi (Kuini ranei); ko nga Roari
(nga tangata ingoa rangatira); me nga Kamana (te
iwi nui tonu). He mea whakarite ki tena te Kawana
i Niu Tirani nei, nae nga Whare e rua, te Whare ki
runga, me te Whare ki raro, huinga o nga mema nei.
Ko te Paremete te mana whakatakoto ture, ko ia
hoki te tino Kooti o runga rawa o Ingarani. Ko te
mana o runga rawa kua whakataua ki runga ki te
Kingi (Kuini ranei), ara ko te mana whakahaere
tikanga; engari kaore e tukua ana tona mana kia
tutuki ki te nanakiatanga rawatanga. Hei te huinga
o te Paremete ka tae ano te Kuini ki kona, tetahi
tangata reo mona ranei, ka kore tena kua kore hoki
he timatanga o te Paremete, kua kore he mana; a
kei a ia anake ano hold te mana tuku i a ratou kia
hokihoki ki o ratou kainga. E penei ana hoki te
Kawana i tenei motu; ko ia hoki te reo o te Kuini
ki konei. Ahakoa he pewhea te ahua, te ingoa ranei,
o tenei hanga o te Kawanatanga, e toru ano ana mahi
tuturu mana i kiia ai he Kawanatanga—koia enei,
ko te whakahaere i nga tikanga e pa ana ki etahi
motu ke me etahi iwi ke atu; ko te hanga ture hei
and privileges which have made the British
nation the most powerful and the most envied
of all the nations of the world. The field which this
subject opens tip is a very large one, and we shall
not attempt any exhaustive disquisition in reference
to it. We believe that the Maories generally have
very crude notions of government of any sort, and
especially of the enlightened form of government
under which, as subjects of Her Majesty, we have
the high privilege of living. (Our Maori friends
must remember that we are speaking of the estab-
lished form of government; not to the personal"
government of Grey and Sheehan, or any
other persons). There is an idea extant among
the Natives that their rights are ignored by
the Government of the colony; that they them-
selves are regarded as an inferior, though trouble-
some, section of the community; and that by appeal--
ing to the Home Government they might obtain that
justice which they think is denied to them here. This
is an entirely mistaken idea. In a late issue we
showed them that they really have greater electoral
privileges than the Europeans possess, and that, if
they think proper, they can qualify themselves to
vote at any European election just as the Pakeha
can do, and by their representatives, Pakeha and
Maori, secure a share in the legislature by which the
laws of the country are enacted. Now, in order to
show them that the legislature of this colony is
modelled on that of England, and that the people of
England do not enjoy any rights or privileges which
we do not possess in this country in an equal (indeed
greater) degree, we shall set before them a few
simple facts relating to the Constitution of England
The Parliament is the grand assembly of the three
states of the kingdom summoned together by autho-
rity of the King, or Queen, as the case may be, to
consult of matters relating to the public welfare, and
particularly to enact and repeal laws. It consists of
the King (or Queen), the Lords, and the Commons
(represented in New Zealand by the Governor, the
Legislative Council, and the House of Representa-
tives), and is at once the Beat of the legislative autho-
rity and the highest court of justice in Great Bri-
tain. The King (or Queen) is invested with the
highest prerogative, namely, that of the executive
power, and is only limited where power might become
tyranny. Upon Parliament assembling the Queen
meets them, either in person or by representation
without which there could be no beginning of a parlia-
ment; and she alone has the power of dissolving them,
as is done in New Zealand by Her representative the
Governor. Whatever may be the form or title of a
Government it has three distinct functions; the
regulation of the relations of the country in which
it obtains with foreign powers, the enactment of laws
for the internal government of the country, and the
execution of the provisions of those laws. Now, if
the same power makes laws and carries them into
execution, the safety of the subject rests wholly upon.
the wisdom and equity of that power; for it not only
can prescribe rules without control, but it can en-

whakahaere i aua ture ina oti te hanga. Na, ki te
mea e kotahi tonu ana te hunga, te tangata ranei,
hei hanga ture hei whakahaere hoki i aua ture ina oti
te hanga, penei, kai te matauranga me te tika o taua
hunga, taua tangata ranei, he tikanga e ora ai, e hee
ai ranei, te iwi; no te mea kei taua hunga anake, taua
tangata ranei, te mana hanga ture me te mana whaka-
haere i aua ture, kaore he mana tangata e kaha ana ki te
whakahe i a ia. Na, e kitea ana, kai te pena ano nga
tikanga kei nga motu o te ao e hianga ana e nanakia
ana ona Kingi, e kuare ana e tu a taurereka ana
hoki o ratou iwi. Kei aua tu Kawanatanga, kotahi
ano te mana (ara, te rangatiratanga) e whakaoti: ana
i nga tikanga nunui katoa o te motu, e hanga ana i
nga ture katoa, e whakawa ana hoki i nga hee o ia
tangata o ia tangata katoa atu; ona hua e puta ana
i roto i taua mahi, he Kawanatanga nanakia, he iwi
mate.
Na, kia mohio koutou, kei Ingarani he mea ata wehe
ke marire nga mana kawanatanga; no konei, e kore
rawa te iwi e mate i to ratou Kingi (Kuini ranei), e
kore hoki te iwi e ahei te poka noa ki te takahi i nga
mana kua whakataua ki to ratou Kuini. He mea
whakatuturu te kawanatanga o Ingarani ki tena
wahanga o te iwi ona tika, ki tena wahanga ona tika;
he mea whakarite marire hoki i te mahi e tika ana
ma tena wahanga ma tena wahanga; ko tetahi
wahanga hei tiaki i tetahi, kei whakakake noa, kei
whakapau noa i nga rawa o te motu, kei mahi hee
noa atu ranei. He mana nui to te Kuini, engari he
mea whakarite marire. Ko ia te rangatira hei taenga
mai mo nga karere haere mai a nga iwi ke atu; ko ia
hei karanga riri, hei hohou rongo; mana ano e wha-
katu i ana minita; kei a ia hoki he naana whakanga-
wari i te kaha o te ture—ara, hei muru i te hara o te
tangata e whakamatea ana e te ture. Engari e kore ia
e kaha ki te whakapau i te herengi kotahi noa o nga
rawa o te motu mehe mea ehara ia i te moni i whakaae-
tia e te Paremete kia whakapaua; a kei nga tikanga ka-
toa mo tona tinana ake, e rite tonu ana ratou ko tona
whanau ki nga tangata kuare rawa o te iwi katoa—
kotahi tonu te ara hei mahinga ma ratou katoa i a
ratou tikanga, ara ko nga Kooti whakawa o te motu.
Ko te Kuini ano ki te whakatu i ana minita; engari
e whai mana ana te Paremete ki runga i a ratou, no
konei e kore ratou e ahei te whakahaere i tetahi
tikanga poka noa a to ratou Kuini, e kore hoki te
Kuini e ahei te whakahaere i tetahi tikanga ka kore
i whakaaetia e ona minita.
He mea hanga nga ture katoa na nga whare e rua,
te whare Roari me te whare Kamana; ki te mea ka
whakaaro tetahi Kingi, Kuini ranei, kia hianga ia
penei e ahei ano ia te pupuri i tana kupu whakaae ki
nga ture i mahia e nga whare e rua ra, ma reira e hee
ai aua ture, e kore ai e mana; otira e kaha ana hoki
aua whare ki te pupuri i nga moni o te motu kia
kore rawa ai e tukua tetahi herengi kotahi noa nei
hei oranga mo taua Kingi, Kuini ranei, mo te motu
hoki; ma tenei ara e kore e wheau te hee ai ia, te
mate ai tona whakaaro taumaro, to taua Kingi. Na,
force them without responsibility. Accordingly it is
found that" in those countries where the princes are
the most arbitrary, and the subjects the most slavish,
the public affairs are so conducted. In such govern-
ments the same power determines in all public affairs
enacts all public regulations, and decides upon all
individual conduct; and the consequence is that
the governments are ferocious and the people
miserable;
Now in England the powers of government are so
completely and so equitably divided, that the subjects
are secure from any danger of being oppressed by
the Crown, and the monarch is equally secure from
any improper interference or restraint of the people.
The English constitution secures to each class its
rights, and imposes upon each class its duties; and each
class is a check upon the ambition, profusion, or in-
justice of the other. The Queen's prerogatives are
extensive, but they are defined. She receives em-
bassies, and declares war or peace with foreign powers;
she appoints her own ministers, and has the power of
mitigating the rigours of the law. But the Queen
cannot spend a shilling of the public money beyond
that which is granted by Parliament; and in all
matters of private rights, she and her family are
obliged, in common with the meanest subject, to
appeal to the courts of law. The Queen appoints
her own ministers: and as they are responsible to
the parliament, they cannot consent to any arbitrary
power on the part of their sovereign, who is presumed
to do nothing of a public nature without their advice
or concurrence.
The houses of Lords and Commons enact all laws;
and though a monarch who desires to be arbitrary
could withhold his royal assent from their enactments,
and thus render them of no effect, yet, as they could
refuse to grant him a shilling towards his own and
the national necessities, his obstinacy would soon have
to yield to his need. Here then we see that before
oppressive laws could be enacted in England, the
people must join with the sovereign in wishing for
an oppressive code; for the parliament is elected
by the people, and must express their wishes, uphold

TE KEEPA.

He korero waea enei kua tae mai ki te koroni no
te Keepa: —
RANANA, Aperira 9.
He rongo korero tenei no te Keepa tae noa mai ki
te 25 o Maehe: —I te 12 o Maehe haere atu ana nga
hoia kotahi rau ma wa ki te kawe kai ki Runepeaka
(he kainga ia). Katahi ka whawhaitia i te huanui e
te wha mano Huuru. Kua rongo ano aua hoia ka
whawhaitia ratou i te huanui, a e haere mohio ana,
otira i mate ratou, u a ratou, i te tokomaha o te
Huuru. I mate te Kapene me nga hoia e 40; e 20 i
ngaro, kaore i kitea; e 40 i tae ora ki Runepeaka.
Muri iho ka tikina nga pu nui me nga kai a nga hoia
ka riro mai ano; ka tanumia hoki nga tupapaku.
Kei te taone o Ekowe etahi Huuru nui rawa e
whakapae ana. I te 26 o Maehe ka whakaputa mai
a Kanara Peahana ki waho o taua taone kokiri ai ki
te Huuru; whakahokia aua e te hoa riri, hoki ana
ki ona parepare. Ko tetahi rangapu hoia e haere
kaika atu ana ki reira hei kai-whakaahuru.
No te 11 o Maehe i rere atu ai i Ingarani, i runga
i nga tima e rua, nga hoia whakamutunga mo te
Keepa.
He korero no muri rawa tenei no te Keepa: —
Aperira 1.
Ko nga hoia e ono mano kua riro atu inanahi hei
kai whakaora i te taone o Ekowe, me nga pu me nga
rakete. He nui te ora o aua hoia.
E ki ana e toru, te kau ma rima mano Hauru e ta-
tari ana ki aua hoia e haere ana ki Ekowe.
I te 30 o Maehe ka whakaatu mai a Tienara Pea-
hana i Ekowe e rua rau o ana hoia o taua taone e
takoto mate ana, he taotu, e rima rau tonu e ora rawa
ana—he mea tohutohu mai i te taone taua korero.
E rua mano nga Huuru i huaki ki te kainga o Kan-
ara Wuru e tata ana ki Runepeaka. He mati taua
riri, e wha haora e riri ana. I whakahokia ano te
Huuru, engari te kau nga apiha a nga hoia i mate,
e whitu te kauhoki nga hoia noa iho i mate.
TE WHAWHAI I TE WHENUA HUURU.

I muri tonu iho o te matenga o nga hoia i nga
Huuru i mua tata ake nei ( i korerotia ra i te Waka
Nama 23) i whawhaitia te ope Huuru i waiho hei
tiaki i te kainga i mate ai, he kainga teneti nei, wha-
whaitia ana e tetahi ope hoia e haere atu ana i muri i
nga mea i mate; riro mai ana taua kainga i a ratou,
moe tonu iho ki reira i te wahi i mate ai o ratou hoa.
I te ata po, whakatika ana aua hoia haere ana ki
tetahi kainga ki Roaka Tiriwhi. Tera kua whaw-
haitia taua kainga e tetahi ope Huuru e toru mano i I
their rights, and faithfully consult and protect their
interests. And so also it is in New Zealand.
The limited space at our disposal will not allow
of our pursuing this subject in this issue. In our next
we propose to speak of the Lords and Commons,
represented in New Zealand by the Legislative
Council and the House of Representatives.
THE CAPE.
————————«————————
The following telegraphic news from the Cape has
been received in the colony: —
LONDON, April 9.
Cape news to March 25 states: —The latest con-
voy with supplies proceeding to Luneberg, escorted
by. a detachment of 104 officers and men of the 80th
Regiment, was attacked by 4000 Zulus on March 12.
The convoy had been previously warned of the pro-
bable attack, and although everything was prepared
the Zulus overwhelmed them. The captain com-
manding the escort and 40 men were killed and 20
missing; 40 reached Luneberg. The British guns
and ammunition were afterwards recovered and the
dead buried.
Ekowe is surrounded by a large number of Zulus.
On the 26th of March Colonel Pearson made a sortie
from that place and was repulsed, but he regained
the entrenchments. The 10th Regiment is making
rapid marches for his relief.
On March 11th the last reinforcements for the
Cape left England in two steamers.
The following is the latest news from the Cape: —
April 1.
Relieving forces started for Ekowe yesterday,
consisting of 6000 men with Gatling guns and rocket
column. The troops are in good health.
It is stated that 35, 000 Zulus await the arrival of
the Ekowe relieving force.
On the 30th of March Colonel Pearson signalled
from Ekowe that 200 of the garrison are disabled,
and that only 500 are effective.
2000 Zulus attacked Colonel Wood's camp near
Luneberg. There was severe fighting, which lasted
four hours. The enemy was repulsed. The British
loss was 10 officers and 70 men.
THE WAR IN ZULULAND.
—————«. —————
Immediately after the late slaughter of our soldiers
by the Zulus (an account of which was given in No.
23), the camp was retaken by a small body of troops
tinder Lord Chelmsford. The same day some 3. 000
Zulus made an attack upon a place at Rorke's Drift,
which was garrisoned by a force of 80 men only.
The troops under Lord Chelmsford encamped on the
ground where their comrades had been slaughtered,
and the next morning marched on to Rorke's Drift.

toa, kihai i taea to ratou kainga e te hoa riri. Ko
tenei korero kei raro iho nei he mea tuhi mai ki nga
nupepa o reira na tetahi tangata i kite, ara: —
Kihai ano i ata tae ki te ata o te 23 o nga ra o te

tonu ta matou haere ki Roaka Tiriwhi. Ta matou
kitenga i te auahi i te kainga mihinare i tera taha o
te awa, ka mahara matou kua pa pea he mate ki reira
tino hoki. Otira ka tatata atu matou ki te awa,
katahi matou ka kite atu i nga hoia i runga i nga
pakitara o tetahi whare pakaru e tu ana i te taha o
te whare puranga kai, e powhiriwhiri mai ana i a

kia whiti atu ki rawahi ka haere atu ai-ki a ratou.
Kihai ratou i roa e wewete ana i nga taura o te

Ka tae atu matou ki nga whare ka rere ake

ki nga hoia o taua kainga, " E tino whakawhetai ana

engari he inati te mahi a te hoia, he puku tohe tonu,

place is given by the war correspondent of the Natal
Witness; —
"Dawn had hardly made its appearance on the
morning of the 23rd ere the troops were again in
motion. We marched steadily forward to Rorke's
Drift, the smoke rising from the missionary's house on
the other side suggesting to us further disaster. As,
however, we neared the river, men could be seen
manning the walls of an old ruin next to the build-
ing used as a commissariat store, some of them wav-
ing coats, etc., and Colonel Russell, with the mounted
infantry, was ordered to ford the river and go
straight up to them. Little time was occupied in cast-
ing off the ropes of the punt and tugging us over, or in
reaching the commissariat store, and the cheers which
burst forth from our men as the General cantered
up and said, ' Thank you all very much for your
very gallant defence, ' were pleasant to hear. A gal-
lant defence it indeed had been—80 mea—10 of
whom were sick in the hospital, had beaten off and
thoroughly defeated some 3, 000 Zulus flushed with
their late victory. They had hardly had half -all-hour's
warning during which to make what preparations
were possible for defending an extremely weak posi-
tion. Fortunately there were plenty of sacks of
mealies, etc., to be had, and temporary fortifications
were rapidly constructed with them. From 3 a. m. to
5 a. m. the Zulus came on again and again with un-
daunted pluck. They succeeded in taking the hospi-
tal and burning it, though in doing so they lost 10
times the number they killed, and they charged up
to the very walls, and attempted to unscrew the
bayonets which met them. Greater bravery than
that displayed on either side could not have been,
but the little body of English soldiers behind their
frail rampart knew they were fighting to hold a most
important post, and never hesitated for an instant;
whereas the Zulus, who no doubt; thought they could
easily cut up a handful of men like those opposed to
them, after their recent achievements, were begin-
ning to find out their mistake. The engagement, how-
ever, continued the whole livelong night, the Zulus
once and again attempting to take the place by storm.
At last, discouraged, they retreated just as dawn was
breaking. Our loss, as may be imagined, was severe:
out of SO men one-fourth had fallen—13 killed and
nine wounded, of whom some have since died. But
if our loss was severe that of the enemy must have
been something enormous. They had come on again
and again in broad daylight, and by the light of the
burning house, up to the very muzzles of the guns,
and their dead were heaped up in scores all around
the barricade. Within 300 yards of the spot our
burying parties counted 351 bodies, while on the
road they had taken in retreat the dead and wounded
lay thick. That in this engagement the enemy lost
500 killed, and 200 or 300 wounded is, I think, a
very moderate calculation, and the lesson taught them
by that gallant company of the 24th is ono they will
not soon, forget. Cetewayo, it is said, has given
orders that entrenched positions are not to be
attacked in future, owing to the severe losses sus-
tained at Rorke's Drift. "
We hear that large reserves aro to be given to the
Natives at Parihaka.

Kopua, Aperira 4th, 1879.
E HOA, —He rongo kua tae mai ki a matou mo te
ruritanga o Waimate, e ki ana kua riro atu a te
Hinemoa ki te kawe i a Hone Hihana me nga hoia
140 ki te whakararuraru i taua wahi. E kore te Maori
e pokanoa ki te patu. Heoi taku i rongo ai ko te
kupu a Tawhiao e kore e ara he pakanga i roto i enei
ra. Ko te pakanga nui o te motu nei, kei Kopua
wahi o Waikato; ko te hui ki Kopua taua pakanga.
. I te tunga o tenei Kawanatanga, ka ki ko ia te kai-
huti i te iwi ki te ora; muri iho ka kai ano i tana
kupu — ka rite ratou ki nga tangata hara e
korero nei ratou. Koutou, nga Pakeha e noho
ana i runga i te ture, he aha koutou i kore ai e kaha
ki te kawe i a raua ki te Whare Porangi i Akarana,
kei tutu raua, kei pata tangata ? Me riringi o raua
roro pumahu ki te wai matao.
Kei konei tonu a Tawhiao e mahi ana i nga kai
mo tana hui ki Kopua. Kei te 28 o nga ra o Aperira
nei, 1879, te mutu ai te haere a nga iwi; kei tua i
tenei te ra o te kupu ki te iwi. Ko nga iwi i te
Kopua i roto i enei ra 989. Kaore he kupu mo
Kerei; me aha, kua pa katoa tona rongo ki te ao
katoa. Ka tonoa ranei, kaore ranei.
Kua rongo au i te " Iwiningi Taa, " e kii ana te
kupu a Kerei, i roto i taua nupepa, kei te hui o te
Kopua nei ka oti nga ritenga mo Hiroki, mo
Purukutu, mo Winiata; ka tukua ki a ia, ara
ki te ture. Kaua te tangata e whakarongo ki
iaua korero rupahu a taua koroheke na. Kaore te
hui a Tawhiao i kiia mo nga tangata kohuru, engari ko
te kupu a Ta Tanara Makarini i korero ai raua ko
Tawhiao; i Waitomo te tuatahi, i Kaipiha te tuarua.
Ko taua kupu kaore ano i oti i tenei Kawanatanga.
Kaore he kupu ke atu i tenei hui. Tuatoru—ko te
kupu whakahe mo nga mahi hee a tenei Kawana-
tanga; tuawha—ko te mahi e rongo nei te ao katoa,
matou nga Maori me nga Pakeha, i nga mahi whaka-
rihariha a tenei Kawanatanga. (Ka korero i konei te
tangata nana tenei reta i nga mahi a te Kawana-
tanga ratou ko Make mo te raruraru i Parihaka. Ko
tenei wahi o tana reta, ahakoa pono, kaua e panuitia
e matou. ).
Na to
TANGATA MAORI MATAU.
[Tena to matou hoa e kite i te hee o ana korero e ki
mai nei ia i kawea nga hoia e te Hihana ki Waimate
" hei whakararuraru" i taua wahi. He nui nga
Maori tutu kei Parihaka e mau, ana i te pu; no reira
ka kawea nga hoia Katipa nei ki reira hei whakatu-
pato noa. ]
CORRESPONDENCE.
—————«—————
To the Editor of the WAKA MAORI.
Kopua, April 4.
FRIEND, —In reference to the survey of Waimate,
we have heard that the Hinemoa has gone to take
John Sheehan and 140 soldiers to create a disturb-
ance in that district. The Maories will not rush
into actual hostilities. The only thing which I hear
of is the word of Tawhiao that there is, to be no
fighting at this time. The great fight of the island
is to be the Kopua meeting at Waikato. When this
Government came into existence they said they
would raise the people up into a position of safety
and prosperity; but they are eating their own words
—they are as had as the sinners of whom they com-
plain. Te law-abiding section of the Pakehas, how
is it that ye are unable to send those two to the
Auckland Lunatic Asylum in order to restrain them
from committing a breach of the peace and creating
trouble ? Cold water should be poured upon their
heated brains.
Tawhiao is here engaged collecting food for his
meeting at Kopua. On the 28th of April, 1879, the
tribes will all have assembled; after that, a day will
be fixed for the word to (be spoken to) the people.
There are now 989 people at the Kopua. There is
no word for Grey, which does not much matter, for
he is pretty well known to all the world. He may
be invited, or he may not.
I hear that in the " Evening Star', it is stated that
Grey has said the Kopua meeting will settle the
business relating to Hiroki, Purukutu, and Winiata;
that they will be handed over to him, or rather to
the law. Let not anyone listen to the blustering of
that old gentleman. The meeting of Tawhiao is not
called in reference to murderers, but in reference to
the words of Sir Donald McLean and Tawhiao;
first at Waitomo, and secondly, at Kaipiha. Those
words have not been fulfilled by the present Govern-
ment. The meeting will not depart from those
words. Thirdly—a word of condemnation of the
wrong-doings of this Government; fourthly—that
of which all the world has heard, we the Maories
and also the Pakehas, the aggravating actions of this
Government. (The writer here proceeds to discuss
the proceedings of the Government and Mr. Mackay
in connection with the Parihaka difficulty. This part
of his letter, however, we must refrain from pub-
lishing—however true it may be).
From your
INTELLIGENT MAOBI CORRESPONDENT.
[Our Correspondent will admit that he is in error
about Mr. Sheehan taking troops to Waimate in
order to " create a disturbance. " As a body of tur-
bulent Natives are in arms at Parihaka, a number of
the Armed Constabulary force have been sent there
as a precautionary measure].
