a ia, ki te mea ka mau tonu nga Maori ki ta Henare Rata
ako.  Ka  mea taua Maori, kaua aia e he i te mea i haere

 tika nga kupu a te Kawanatanga, a me homai he 
 paura maku, homai ana nga paura, nga hoota, me nga

 Maori i ana kupu mo etahi whenua e mahia whaka-

  ko Te Omana  raua ko Te  Makarini nga tangata, ko
  raua anake te tino o te Kawanatanga, penei, he pai

introduced has tended to create dissatisfaction amongst
the Maoris, and has opened the door to endless litigation.
A more iniquitous measure than that which tied up tribal
lands in the hands of a few irresponsible grantees could
not be  conceived.  But it suited the  exigencies of the
hour  and the bitter harvest is now being reaped. Fortu-
nately, perhaps,  in one sense  for the Colony, drunken
orgies have usually drowned the indignation of a people
ruthlessly  despoiled  of  their lands by a  few  legalised
robbers.   Under this system  pome  enormous   tracts of
country  have  been alienated from the Natives, surrounded
as it has been by all kinds of encumbrances.  which, while
affording no guarantee  of title to the purchasers, have
served  only to irritate the Maoris. Regarding, as we do
the occupation of lands by Europeans as a positive benefit
both  to the country and to the Maoris, we,  as colonists,
should have  no fault to find with a system that gave every
encouragement to freetrade in Native land dealings.  The
machinery   required for such an object should then be of
the  simplest possible description, that would protect the
 Natives from fraudulent  transactions, and, give an indis-
 putable title to the buyer. But the  object that the Go-
 vernment  appear to have in view is the reverse of this.
 To hamper as much as possible all private dealings and
 to force the Maoris to sell only to the Government, has for
 some time been past the policy of the Native Department.
 That  the existing system under which Native land trans-
 actions have now to be conducted enquiries to be largely
 altered no one will deny for a minute. To alter it, how-
 ever in such a way as to increase the difficulties of private
 dealings will be merely to make a retrograde movement
 that cannot but end in disaster. It would, indeed, be an
 acknowledgement of the fact, which is well known, of
 the disinclinanation of the Natives to deal with the Go-
vernment.    It would  be  tantamount   to the Government
 saying, " As we cannot  compete with  private dealers we
 shall put down all competion. and conned the Natives to
 sell only to us."  If such is the intention of  the 
 plated measure, then we  have no hesitation in saying that
 should it unfortunately become law, it will in as many
 weeks undo  the work  which has taken  years to bring
 about. All confidence between the Government and the
 Natives  will be at an end, and a state of things will be
 inaugurated similar  to that which created the 
 and produced  the Taranaki  war in 1862.—Napier Daily

trIcts, in accordance with the sixth subject submitted to
this meeting.  If the sixth subject is carried out as it now
stands, we shall not be able to cope with the subtlety of 
the Europeans.                                     
  MARUMARU, of  the Ngatiapa, said: I see that the thoughts
of our people  which I brought to this meeting are not 
correct.  I and my  people  thought that the eight subjects
for consideration sent to us were those which I hear spoken
of in this meeting.   I say let the law in regard to the sale
of land, and passing it through the Native Lands Court
cease for ever, and not till a new Government shall be put
into power by the Parliament shall our lands be dealt with |
by a Native Lands Court.
  WI  PERE  said : Let the selling of land by the Maori
cease for ever, as we have  already sold three quarters of
our Island to the European, and if we sell the one quarter
we  now  hold, death to us will follow. I say let us keep
what we have  for our children, and if our grand-children
like to squander  that which  we  shall leave to them, let
them  do it in the great knowledge they may attain to. I
say let us be as one man to keep our land.
   MARUMARU   said : I have done all to make the action of
the Native Lands  Court to cease in the Tauia Te Kapua
 (Rotorua district), in accordance with the motion  now
before the meeting.
   PARAMENA,  of the Ngatiupokoiri, Heretaunga, said : Mr.
 Chairman  and meeting.  I think that not till evil has come
 over all the people of these Islands, shall we be called one
 people.  Let not this meeting take any notice of the motion
 proposed by Marumaru   in regard to  the district of Ta 
 Te Kapua.   Let his word be left out of any action to be
 taken by this meeting.
   KARENA,  of Ngatiapa, of Parewanui, said : Let a Maori
 Parliament be proposed for us.
   HENARE  MATUA. (Chairman), said : Do not speak on any
 subject, save those matters  laid before this meeting   as
 matters to be discussed by us.
   HIKAWERA   HAHUPUKU, of Wairarapa, said : O people be
 strong to consider those matters by which we may obtain
 much  good, do not he weary or lazy, but act like men do
 not fear the taunt that may be used to us, that we are
 ignorant men, as we have sent our children to the school?
 to seek knowledge for us in the future. I am delighted
 that we, the tribes of these Islands, have been called to-
 gether here, that we may discuss matters for our welfare.
 I will now tell our thoughts in respect to the motion now
 before this meeting,  and  at the  close I will hand in the
 paper containing  those thoughts of the people of Wairarapa
 to the Chairman
   PETERA  KAHUROA,  of the Ngatihineuru, of Tarawera.
 said:  I wish to speak  about the Parliament. But Petera
 did not give his written  words to the Chairman.
   HATARAKA,   of Ngatiawa, of Whakatane, said: I will
 speak  to the motion   now   before this meeting. And be
 laid before the  Chairman a document containing the ideas
 of his people ou that subject.
    The  Chairman said the meeting would now adjourn, and
 meet again tomorrow  at 10 a.m., 3rd June, 1876.
