HE HOIHO TARIONA.
HE Momo Karaitera, ko Poukawa tu ai.
" I A N G A TAPIONA."
HE hoiho kaha, he kuri kakama ki te haere. He mangu
A whero. He mangu nga waewae, a kahoro he
mate o ana waewae. He kuri atahua, kahore he riri ona,
a, he hoiho kaha ki te mahi.
I riro i aia te utu tuarua mo nga hoiho ahua pai i
Karaitihata i te tan 1869.
Nga utu, £3 10s. 0d, a e koro e utua te patiki e haere
ai nga uha mo te marama kotahi ; a i muri iho o taua
marama, ka utu te tangata nana te uha, e rua hereni me
te hikipene mo te wiki.
Ko aua utu nei, me utu i te ra e tikina mat ai nga uha.
He tino pai te tiaki, otiia e kore ahau e pai kia utu ana
mate tetahi uha e kawea mai aua ki taua Tariona.

KO enei hoiho, e noho ana i Te Tukituki, a tenei tau. Ko
te utu mo te hoiho uha, e ono pauna, e ono hereni, mo
te uha kotahi, a ko aua moni me utu i te ra e tikina atu
ai te uha. A ko te patiki e haere ai nga uha, kahore he
utu mo te patiki e noho ai aua uha i te timatanga, kia tae
ki nga ra e hoki ai ka utu. Ko nga uha i kore e hapu i a
KINGIPIHA i tera tau, kahore he utu i tenei tau mo aua
uha. A ki te kore e hapu tetahi uha i tenei tau i a AREPA
TAIRA, penei, ko a tera tau e kore e utu ana kawea mai ano
ki taua Tariona. Ko to utu mo AREPA TAIRA i tu ai aia i
Wikitoria, tekau pauna mo te uha kotahi i utu ai nga
Pakeha o reira.
Ko nga uha me tuku mai kia Te Karaati i Hawheraka.
Kahore he tikanga ki au o te aitua ki nga uha i nga ra
e noho ai i au.
Kia 50 tekau ano uha e tukua mai ki enei hoiho, ki

He mea atu tenei kia rongo te iwi, ka taia ano e matou nga reta a Hunia
Te Hakeke raua ko Renata Kawepo a tera taanga o te Wananga, kua mahia
ano e matou i roto i tenei putanga. Otiia i raru raru nga kai mahi ki te
mahi i nga Mihini o To Perehi, i kore ai he wa mahinga mo aua reta.
TE WANANGA.
KOTAHI PUTANGA I TE WIKI.
HATAREI, 23 OKETOPA 1875.
E MEA ana matou, e kore e tika kia korero a tepe-
tepetia te korero o nga Mema o te Paremata mo te
mahi i nga whenua Maori i Heretaunga. A ko te
tu hoko i hokona ai nga whenua a te iwi nei a Ngati-
kahungunu. A, kua oti aua tikanga te korero e Hone
Hiana, te Mema Roia o te Paremata, a ko ana korero
kia taia ki nga pukapuka, hei titiro ma nga uri i
muri i a tatou. A e kitea aua korero e te Ao katoa.
A hei koiero aua kupu a Te Hiana ma nga tangata,
ma ratou e kauhau nga he i mahia ki nga Maori o
Heretaunga i te wa i akona ai nga Maori ki te noho
pai i nga Motu o Aotearoa, 14 nga Mema o te Pare-
mata i korero i te korero i huraa e Hone Hiana mo
nga mahi hoko he o nga whenua a nga Maori
Heretaunga. A koia nei nga Mema i korero whakahe
mo to korero a Te Hiima. A tokowha ano ratou o taua
tekau ma wha, kotahi tekau Mema o taua tekau ma
wha i whakaae ki nga kupu a Te Hiana. Nga Mema
i whakahe, ko Te Makarini, ko Te Akihana, ko Te
Omana, ko Makarahini. Otiia ko Te Omana raua ko
Ta Tanara Makarini, nga Pakeha i whakapaea na raua
tetahi waahi o taua mahi hoko whenua i Heretaunga.
A ko te Atikihana i aro ano aana whakaaro kia puta
he kupu whakaora aana nao Ta Tanara Makarini, a
tapepa ana nga kupu a taua Pakeha nei mo tana
Tumuaki. A ko Makarahini, e kiia ana he kai pinono
korero aia, korero whakaae a nga Mema o te Paremata
mo te Kawanatanga, i maia ano aia ki te ki kupu maana.
Kihai a Te Hiana i mea, e, e whakaaetia taua korero ana
i tono ai ki taua Paremata, ina hoki te ahua o aua
korero aana. " E pouri ana tenei Paremata, no te
mea kua rongo te Paremata nei, i nga mahi he, i nga
mahi tahae a etahi o nga Pakeha o Haku Pei (Here-
taunga) i a ratou hokonga i nga whenua a nga Maori
o reira. A he mea ano hoki i aro atu ano te mahi a
etahi o nga tino Apiha ki aua mahi. A e mea ana
tenei Paremata he mahi tutara kino taua mahi mo te
ingoa pai o tenei Koroni o Nui Tireni." Mei whaka-
aetia aua kupu a Te Hiana i tono ai kia whakaaetia e
te Paremata : penei, ka kiia, ne kupu whakahe rawa
aua kupu mo te pono a To Omana. mo te Mema, me
te Hupiritene o te Porowini o Haku Pei. A penei
ano hoki, kua kiia raua ko Ta Tanara Makarini, kia
heke to raua tupu, ki te tupu iti rawa iho, e rite ai to
raua heke ki te kore noaiho, kia rite ki ta te tokomaha
o te iwi i mea, ai mo raua i nga tini ra o enei tau kua
pahure nei. Kihai rawa te korero a Te Hiana i eke i
whakapae i te iwi nui o Heretaunga katoa. Otiia
i kiia aua kupu a Te Hiana mo " Ngatihokohe i te
whenua," a ko taua hapu, e rua pea e toru ranei te
kau o ratou o taua Ngatihokohe. A i korero ano a
Te Omana, a Ta Tanara Makarini, i a raua kupu utu
mo nga korero whakapae a Te Hiana mo raua, i
kaha ano raua ki te whakahoki kupu. Otiia ki te
kaha ano ia o raua e kaha ngoikore noaiho ana. Ko
nga kupu a Ta Tanara Makarini he kupu i whakahoki
ai mo a Te Hiana he kupu porewarewa, a he kupu
whakatarapi ano i aia. A ko nga kupu a Te Omana
i puta hikaka, a i oho mauri tana kii nga whakahe
mo nga kupu a Te Hiana, whai hoki i whakariroia
ketia eia te tika hei he. A he mea mahe eia te kano i
o ana korero kia eke kia Henare Rata, kia newha ai
nga whakaaro a Te Paremata, ki nga tikanga o nga
kupu whakahe a Te Hiana nao raua ko Te Omana.
I mea hoki a Ta Tanara Makarini, he tangata utu tau
a Te Hiana hei Roia mo nga Maori. A he tangata a
Te Hiana e arataki ana i nga Maori kia whakakahore
ratou i a ratou hoko tika nei he. Otiia ahakoa a raua
kupu take kore, a raua tu a mauahara, kahore i he ia
raua nga kupu nei e, " Kua hokona e Ta Tanara
Makarini nga whenua, e rua te kau mano eka ( 20,000.
A ko aua whenua kihai i tawhiti atu i te taone o Nepia
te tino Taone o Heretaunga i nga maero te kau ma
rima.
A he whenua utu nui taua whenua, a ko taua rua te
kau mano eka i taua wahi i pai ke ake i te rua rau
mano eke (200,000) i nga wahi katoa o Aotearoa
nei, ai rite te pai ki nga whenua i Taranaki." A he
mea hoko taua whenua eia, ki te utu, kihai i rite ki
tona utu tika. A he whenua, mei mahia ki te tika
hei whenua me riro taua whenua i te kawanatanga,
mo te Iwi. A ko te takiwa i hokona ai aua whenua
ko nga ra ano a ta Tanara Makarini i noho ai hei Api-
ha nao te kawanatanga. A kihai hoki a te Omana i
ki, ehara aia i tetahi o te hanga na ratou nga mahi
muru i te whenua i Heretaunga, a e hara ano hoki aia '
i te Pakeha tuatahi nana i mahi mokete te whenua a
nga Maori i Heretaunga. A he roa noa atu nga korero
a Te Omana, he mea hoki e kore nga tangata pera
me ia, e mahi i nga mahi i whakapaea nei kia aia e Te
Hiana mo Heretaunga. Ae kiia ana, pea nga kupu
a Te Omana he tika, moi kore te korero e rangona nei,
e kiia ana i roto i nga korero a te iwi e, e mahi tahae
ana ano nga uri o nga nunui o te ao nei, a kihai i wa-
iho aua mahi ware ma nga tutua anake e mahi. A i
mea te tikanga o nga kupa a Te Omana raua ko Ta
Tanara Makarini kia he nga whakapae a Te Hiana mo
raua, no te mea he mea utu tau a Te Hiana, koia aia
i kaha ai ki te korero whakapae mo raua. Otiia i ahua
whakawa nga kupu a Te Hiana mo rana. A he ako
ta Te Hiana i nga Maori ki aua mahi noi, kia puta ai
he mea maana ma Te Hiana. A ko te korero a
Karaitiana Takamoana ka taia e matou ki te Wananga
nei a nga ra a muri ake nei, kei aua korero a Karaiti-
ana Takamoana nga kupu whakahe mo nga korero a
Te Omana ma. I puta ano te kupu kia rangona e nga
Mema o Te Paremata, e, ka tino huia nga kahu a te
Maori, a ka tu kirikau ratou i roto i te Kooti Hupirimi
hei utu mo a ratou mahi whakawa mo nga whenua e
tohe nei ratou.
Ka mea a Te Atikihaua, ko etahi o nga korero a
Te Hiana, he tataku i nga korero o tetahi mea kua
mahia, a kua oti noa atu i nga tau ki tua te mahi e te
Paremata. A no te mea, he tangata e utua aua a. Te
Hiana e nga Maori i ana mahi ma ratou i nga Kooti
Whakawa, koia i meinga ai, e kore e tika kia korero
ano aia mo aua Maori ano ki te Paremata. Heinati
te wawau o enei kupu a Te Atikihaua, ara, he tohu
tenei mo tana tino kuaretanga. A he Minita hoki aia
no te Kawanatanga. A, he tangata mauri oho rere.
Otiia ko nga ra ona o Te Atikihana i mutu ai te

akona ona i nga Kura, ko nga ra ano ona ki ano i
kaumatua i nga ra ano ona e tamariki ana. Koia aia
i ware ai ki te hapai tikanga. A, e ui ana a Te Rira
te Mema mo Taiari me ui pea nga Mema i tenei patai.
"He noho aha; ta tatou ta te Runanga Paremata nei
i konei." A ko te utu ano mo tana patai kei aia ano,
kei nga kupu ano a taua Te Rira. " He noho ta tatou
i konei, kia rapurapua e tatou nga mea e amuamua
ana e te iwi i waho o te Whare Paremata nei." I
ahua ngahau ano te korero o taua tautohe a Te Omana
ma, i te mea hoki he nui nga titotito, he nui nga kupu
tika i korerotia. A ko Te Omana te tangata i nui ana .
korero purakau. A taihoa ano ka taia e matou ana
korero i korero ai ki Te Wananga nei. A ka kiia ano
e matou a matou kupu whakahe, mo ana korero a aua
ra e taia ai e matou. Otiia kua taia ano aua korero a
Te Omana i roto i te nupepa riri poroni, a he Nupepa
e utua ana e nga tangata e kiia paitia ana e taua
Nupepa, ara, e te Haku Pei Herara. E penei aha nga
kupu a Te Hupiritene o Poneke, a Te Pitihapeti,
" No Pepuere o tera tau, a e hara anei enei i te wa
noa atu, no enei ra tata nei ano, a Te Hiana
i tutaki ai i a Tanara. He korero ta Te Hiana kia
Tanara mo nga kai hoko o Heretaunga, mo te hea a
Ariki. A, i muri iho, ka huihui aua kai hoko, i runanga
ratou i Heretaunga ano. He mea naku, me whaaki
pu ano e au nga ingoa o nga tangata, me ingoa o nga
kainga. A tukua mai ana te waea a Tanara kia Te
Hiana, he mea na aua kai hoko o Heretaunga, kua
whakaae ratou kia utua e ratou nga moni e toru mano,
(£50003 ki nga Maori. A kia utua ano hoki e aua
kai hoko ano ma Te Hiana, kia kotahi mano, (1000)
moni maana ake ano ma Te Hiana, kia whakaaetia e
Te Hiana taua mahi mo Heretaunga. Ha poho enei
kupu mo Tanara. A ko te utu pea mo te mahi a Te
Hiana mo tana mahi i taua mea, e tae ki to kotahi rau
pauna, (£100) a ko te iwa rau pauna (£900) he
moni whakapati era moona. A utua ana taua kupu
mo aua moni o Te Hiana, he mea tuhituhi eia ki te
reta mea atu ana aia, "kahore, horerawa. Ki
te mea ka kiia kia kite koutou i taua reta a Te
Hiana me te waea a Tanara e pai ana tenei aua puka-
puka."
Tenei ano etahi o a matou kupu mo Te Omana raua ko
Ta Tanara Makarini. He patai tenei He tika ano ranei,
kia mahia nga matauranga nga tangata Kawanatanga,
hei whakaranea moni ma ratou, i nga ra e iti ana nga
moni utu tau a Te Kawanatanga ma ratou ; a i kore ai
ratou e mina mina tahae! Na Te Omana raua ko Ta
Tanara Makarini ano taua patai. Otiia tenei a raua
kupu i puta ai tana ui. I mea a Te Omana. "E ui
ana ahau ki tenei Paremata. Oti ranei ki te mea ka
mahi te tangata i te mahi Kawanatanga, a kaua aia e
hoko whenua." Me utu o matou taua patai; Kahore.
Otiia i puta tika ano hoki taua patai ia Te Tamihana
" Mema o Te Paremata koia nei tana ui ki Te Paremata.
Ki te mea ka mahi katoa nga Apiha o nga Porowini i
te mahi hoko ma ratou, a ko te matauranga i
matau ai ratou ki nga mea e hoko nei ratou, he mea i
kitea e ratou i roto i nga mahia ratou e utua ana
ratou e Te Porowini, kei hea ra te mutunga o nga he
mehemea e peneitia te ahua mahi ! A mehemea koa
i penei ratou me nga korero e kiia nei mo enei Apiha
nunui. No era ra i whakamutua ai te mahi a tetahi
Apiha o te Kawanatanga Porowini Otaki o taua
tu mahi nei ano.
THE debate on the management of Native lands in the
Province of Hawke's Bay demands more than a cursory
. notice. The manner in which lands have been ac-
quired from the Ngatikahungunu has been placed by
Mr. Sheehan's speech on the permanent records of
'. the colony ; will be known wherever our Colonial
" Hansard" is read ; and will form a contribution of a
valuable character to those on whom may devolve the
task of writing the story of the colonisation of these
islands. Fourteen members of the House of Repre-
sentatives took part in the debate on the resolution—
the Native Minister, the Colonial Treasurer, the
member for Clive, and Mr. Edward M'Glashan, only
speaking against its adoption. Now the Native
Minister; and the member for Clive were two of the
parties implicated. Major Atkinson proved his fealty
to Sir Donald M'Lean by blundering, while the Go-
vernment whip of course must have something to say.
Mr. Sheehan never expected his resolution to be
carried, as a glance at its diction will show :—
"That this House"regrets to hear of the scandalous and
dishonest dealings of certain Europeans in the acquisition
of Native lands in. the Province of Hawke's Bay, and of
the fact that high officers of the Government have been
either connected therewith, or were cognizant thereof ;
and considers such transactions are a stain upon the good
name of the Colony."
The carrying of such a resolution would have been
simply au impeachment of the honesty of the member
and the Superintendent of Hawke's Bay, and would
have consigned them to that political ignominny and
disgrace that—well, what many colonists consider they
have long since merited. Mr. Sheehan was careful
not to assoil even by implication, the people of the
Province as a whole, but confined his castigation to
the " Ring," numbering some twenty-five or thirty
individuals. Of course, the Native Minister, and Mr.
Ormond, defended themselves to the best of their
ability, the former by the utterances of solemn pati-
tudes; and the Iatter by manifestations of spleen and
abuse, a wilful and deliberate distortion of facts, and
an attempt to draw members away from the question,
by vilifying Mr. Russell, and characterising Mr.
Sheehan as a paid special pleader, and a stirrer up of
repudiation ;—but all the empty verbiage of the one,
and the malevolence of the other, could not do away
with the facts that the Native Minister had, roughly
speaking, acquired 20,000 acres of land within twelve
or fifteen miles of the capital of Hawke's Bay, land
' of such value, that 20,000 acres would be as valuable
as 200,000 in any other part of the North Island,
except, on the west coast of Taranaki," by a devious
process, at considerably below its actual value; land
that should have been, reserved for the purposes of the
public welfare, while he was a Government servant:—
nor a disclaimer from Mr. Ormond that he was not
interested in the Heretaunga spoliation, nor that he
was not one of the earliest—if not the first—settler in
Hawke's Bay who obtained a mortgage over Native
lands. The ex-Minister for Public Works declaimed
at some length on the improbability of such men as him-
self and others who wero interested in Heretaunga hav-
ing dragged themselves through the filth so graphically
described by the member for Rodney, their land hunger,
and the declamation may have carried weight, had not
history told us that cadets of even noble houses ; when
sent from home to better their fortunes, have been as

prone to lie and thieve as any of the ill-bred, or the
unwashed. A point was sought to be made by the
parties arraigned,—for there is no disputing the fact,
that the Minister and the Member were virtually
placed on their trial before the country—was that
Mr. Sheehan had instigated the Natives to stir up
these proceedings for his own ulterior benefit. The
speech of Karaitiana Takamoana, which will be printed
in a future issue sufficiently rebuts such a presump-
tion. The House was informed that the Natives would
be stripped to their skins by interested parties; Ka-
raitiana says in reply, the Natives will leave even their
skins in the Supreme Court, to obtain the restitution
of their rights. The Colonial Treasurer complained
that the member for Rodney brought before the House
a, case which had been disposed of years ago, and that
because Mr. Sheehan happened to be the paid legal
advisers of the complainants iu the Courts of the
colony, that he was thereby debarred from advocating
their interests in Parliament. It is amusing to hear
such a naive confession, involving such ignorance, from
a Minister of the Crown ; but an irritable man is often
indiscreet, and Harry Albert Atkinson left school at
a pre-adolescent age. In the words of the member for
the Taieri (Mr. Reid), were such a theory true,
members may ask " What are we here for," and say
as he did, " we are here to draw attention to the
grievances of people outside." The debate was en-
livened both by the narration of fiction and fact.
The member for Clive was the gentleman who drew
from his imagination. In another issue we will pub
lish what he said, and give it the plain contradiction
it merits. It has already been published in the irate
and subsidised columns of the " Hawke's Bay Herald."
The Superintendent of Wellington (the Hon. W. Fitz-
herbert, doles out the following :—He says : " In
February last year—that is not so long ago—Mr.
Sheehan came into contact with Mr. Tanner, on behalf
of the purchases of the Heretaunga block, concerning
propssals for the settlement of Alice's claim. Subse--
quently, a meeting of the purchasers was held at
Hastings : I am particular in giving places and dates.
IVlr. Tanner telegraphed to Mr. Sheehan, that they
had agreed to offer the Natives £3000, and to give
Mr. Sheehan £1000 "for a settlement. Mr. Tanner
did this. Mr. Sheehan's actual professional fees in
connection with this work would not have exceeded
£100. The rest was a bribe. Mr. Sheehan refused
point blank by letter. The letter can be produced,
and if necessary, the telegram."
There is one aspect of the conduct of Sir Donald
M'Lean, and that of John Davies Ormond, Esq,,
ex-Minister of Public Works, and Superinten-
dent of Hawke's Bay which deserves comment.
Have the civil servants of the colony a right to profit
by their acquisition of knowledge when their salaries
are not sufficiently ample to keep them honest? The
member for Clive, and the Native Minister asked this
question in another form. The member said " I ask
this House whether, because a man chooses to take a
part in public life he is to be debarred from the pur-
chase of land." " The answer is plain—certainly not
—but the plain Puritanic member for Clutha put the
question in another light, and asked where would the
evil end if each petty Provincial officer utilised the
knowledge he possessed in the same manner, and for
the same ulterior benefit as those two notable examples
have done. A petty officer of the Provincial Govern-
ment of Otago was a few years since discharged for a
similar malversation.
E meinga ana ko nga mohi i pan mo nga Pirihimana
mau pu, o te tau 1869; a tae noa mai ki tenei tau £500,000
(E rima rau mano}.
The Armed Constabulary have cost the colony since
1869, over half a million sterling.
Kua whakamutua te mahi o te Paremata a kua meinga kia
mutu ana mahi e Te Kawana i te 3 te taima i te Taite kua
pahure ake nei i te 21 o Oketopa.
Parliament was prorogued on Thursday, at 3 p.m., on
the 21st instant, by His Excellency the Governor;
He mea atu tenei na Te Panata, ki nga Maori e haere
ana ki te Kooti whakawa whenua Maori i te Wairoa. He
toa hoko taonga taria kei Te Wairoa.
Mr. Plante, who advertises in our columns, wishes to
remind the visitants to the Native Land Court at Waitoa,
that he has a place of business there.
E mea ana nga Nupepa o Akarana, he tau nui tenei
mo te mahi Tohora, Pakake i reira. No te me he nui nga
ika kua kitea ki te pito ki te hauraro o te Motu nei.
An Auckland paper remarks that the prospects of a good
whaling season are evident, whales in the North being
reported as very plentiful.
E meinga ana, ko nga ra mutunga o tenei tau o te
1875, ka mutu ano hoki te mona e kii ai nga moni kapa
hei moni utu ki te Kawanatanga. Kiu tae ki te tahi o
Hanueri 1876 ka kiia aua moni kapa kia kawea ki nga
Peeke a e kore e paingia aua tu moni kia hoko hokona
ano hei moni. Tena pea ka kiia nga Pane Kuini Poohi hei
utu mo taua tu moni mo te kapa.
After the thirty-first of January next, the cooper
coinage now current in the colony will be called in, after
which date it is asserted no copper, money of Imperial or
other minting will be received in payment of Crown
revenues, stamps positively taking the place of odd
monies.
E mea ana te Nupepa te Waikato Taima, ko nga Hapi
i mahia, ara i ngakia e nga Maori o Te Kaiti. " He Ha-
pi pai rawa atu i nga Hapi e utaina mai ana i tawahi
no te mea e hou apa. Otiia ki ano i mohiotia e te Maori
te mahi e tika ai te peehi i aua mea, ara te mahi whakahaere
i taua tu mea i te Hapi."
The " Waikato Times" when commenting on the pur-
chase of some Te Kuiti grown hops says they are "much
superior to the. imported article on account of their fresh-
ness, though, as remarked on a former occasion, the
Natives have not yet attained a perfect method of pressing
them."
E mae ana te Nupepa Te Patea Meera. He nui te mate
o nga tangata o Peihaka i te Mitara; A e nui haere ana
i te mea hoki kua tae taua mate ki te Pa i Oeo. A e mate
mate ana nga tangata ia ra ia ra i taua mate. No tera
mane a Te Rata Waaki haere atu ai i Karaera, a e ahu
ana aia ko Parihaka, hei mahi i nga turoro o reira kia
ora ai.
" The "Patea Mail" says that the measles; which broke
out at Parihaka among the Natives, appear to be spread-
ing, as we hear that the disease has reached the Oeo pah,
and that victims to this malady are dying every day at
both quarters; Dr. Walker left Carlyle on Monday last
for Parihaka, for the purpose of attending to the affected
Natives."

court, conclusive upon oath and legal arrangements, who
was right or who was wrong. The statement occupied
over an hour, and was of a very exhaustive character, but
it is impossible to give any precis of the details referred
to by the speaker."
KOIA NEI NGA KORERO I KOREROTIA I TE
PAREMATA, MO NGA MAHI HOKO WHENUA
A TE HUNGA NANA I NUKARAU NGA
MAHI I HERETAUNGA.
(Ka mahia katoatia e matou ana tini korero nei, i
ia putanga i ia putanga o Te Wananga, a pau noa ana
korero katoa.) Ka mea a Te Hiana. Taihoa e korero
nga korero mo nga moni tuku tau ki Te Kawanatanga,
no te mea e mahara ana koutou, i tetahi ra, i mea atu
ahau kia koutou ki te Paremata, ka korero ahau kia
koutou ki te Paremata mo nga mahi i mahia mo nga
whenua Maori i Haku Pei. A kia mutu aku korero
kia koutou, ko reira ahau mea atu ai kia koutou ki te
Paremata kia whakaaetia mai e koutou enei kupu aku,
ara "E pouri ana tenei Paremata, no te mea kua
rongo to Paremata nei i nga mahi he i nga mahi ta-
hae a etahi o nga Pakeha o Haku Pei (Heretaunga) i
a ratou hokonga i nga whenua o nga Maori o reira.
A he ano hoki, i aro atu ano te mahi a etahi o nga
tino Apiha o te Kawanatanga ki aua mahi, a i rongo
aua Apiha ki aua mahi. A e mea ana tenei Paremata,
he mahi tutara kino taua mahi mo te ingoa pai o tenei
Koroni o Nui Tireni. " E hara tenei mahi i te mea
rapu e au, e matau ana ratou, e hara ahau i te tangata
whawhai ki aku hoa noho. A e kore ahau e korero i
enei kupu ka korero nei ahau, mei kore tuku whakaaro,
e, ki te mea ka noho kupu ahau, penei he kohuru taku
i aku hoa. No te mea, he tino tikanga nui te tikanga
ka korero nei ahau ki tenei Paremata. Kua rangona
te he o nga hoko whenua i Heretaunga e te ao katoa.
A kua kiia ano hoki ana mahi i roto i tenei Whare
Paremata, kua korerotia ki nga Kooti, kua mahia e
nga Nupepa. Na ano koutou te Paremata nei e ma-
hara ana, na te Paremata nei te Pira i mahi, i whakaae,
i whakaturia ai tetahi Komihana hei uiui i nga tika-
nga o aua mahi hoko whenua i Heretaunga. Na Te
Tapeta taua Pira i tuku mai ki te Paremata nei kia
mahia hei Ture, i te wa i noho ai ratou ko ona hoa
hei Kawanatanga i te tau 18T2. Ano ka mutu te
mahi a taua Kawanatanga. Na Te Kawanatanga hou
i mea taua Pira, a tu ana hei Ture. A no te marama
o Pepuere 1873 i kiia ai taua Komihana mo Heretau-
nga. I te wa i mahia ai taua Pira, he Mema ano
ahau no te Paremata nei, u i korero ano ahau mo taua
Pira. A kihai ahau i mea i aua ra, e kiia taua mahi
o Heretaunga hei mahi Roia maku, i mea hoki ahau,
ko taku rongo kau ki aua mahi e kiia ana i te Pare-
mata nei, a kati ra i ana rongo taku paanga ki aua
mahi. Otiia i te wa kua tata te mahi o taua Komihana,
i kiia ahau e nga Maori, kia haere ahau hei Roia mo
ratou i taua Komihana. A haere ana ahau. A ko
te pukapuka a aua Komihana, he mea tuku mai ki te
Paremata nei i te tau 1873. No te wa ka tata te mu-
tu o te Paremata o taua tau, i tae mai ai taua puka-
puka a aua Komihana. A i mea hoki ahau, e mahia
taua korero e Te Kawanatanga ki te Paremata, ko te
mea hoki, he tikanga nui nga mea o taua mahi. Otiia
kihai rawa i puta he kupu a Te Kawanatanga mo taua

word or two to say with reference to what fell from
the honorable member for, the Eastern Maori District.
He said that the faults of the Native Lands Act were
to be attributed to the General Government. I do
not agree with that. The fault is the fault of all the
members of this House. The Act was passed by the
whole of the members, and; after the House rises the
Government have the administration of all the laws.
He also said that it would.be well to do away with the
Maori representatives in the House. I say that is a
matter for the House to deal with. I shall not detain
the House much longer, but I wish to said something
more about the Superintendent of Auckland. I heard
during the course of the debate that it was he who
originated the provinces. I wonder if he considers
now, that the provinces are decreasing in strength
and I think if I were the member for Auckland City
West, and had originated these things, it would be
well for me myself to bury my now head. The
honorable member is absent from the House now—
gone away, perhaps, on his now business—and there-
fore I do not like to say much ; for the Maoris only
approve of speaking to a man's face. One word now
for those who are united in doing away, with the
provinces, and. also for those who are suporting the
provinces. We are now disputing in this House ; let
us carry on this discussion fairly, so that either we. i
may gain the day or you may. Do not let, us make
any mistake about the matter; let us fight it out
fairly, that we may know which side wins. I do not
approve of sending this matter back to the people.
What is the use of that ? I am glad that it is being
settled now, and that it will be done in this session as
a final act, by this Parliament. Then the people will
know that a very important subject has been decided
in this last session.
