A na aua nama i wehi ai te Maori kei he ratou i te whakawa, whakaae noa te Maori kia riro ana whenua kia ora ai aia i te wehi o te mate mo ana nama. A na aua mahi kuare a te Maori i tukua ai e ratou e te Maori, nga whenua hei nohoanga ma ratou, a i tukua ano hoki e ratou nga whenua i kiia hei pupuri ma nga uri i muri o ratou. Mei mahia pea he Ture i te tau 18.62, kia kaua e whakawakio nga moni a te Maori e nama ai ana nuku ake i te £5. A mei whakamana te Ture a Kawana Kerei, i ki nei. kia kaua te Maori e kai rama, penei e kore e mahia te mahi nama a te Maori ki te Pakeha. A penei e kore e tino mate te Maori, e puta ano to morehu mahurehure o te mate o te iwi ki enei ra.

TE WANANGA. natanga te rongo ki au. i ki mai, kua puta te kupu whaka- pae a Te Wirihana Komihana moku. A ko te pukapuka o aua kupu whakapae moku, i mea te Kawanatanga, e kore e tukua aua korero whakapae moku kia kite te Pare- mata, i te wa oku ki ano i korero kupu utu mo aua korero whakapae moku. A kua tae aku kupu kia Ta Tanara Makarini raua ko Te Karaka mo aua korero. A kua mea atu ahau kia raua, ki te mea ka utu kupu ahau mo aua korero whakapae moku, penei ma aua kupu utu aku mo te whakapae moku, ka ahua whaaki ahau i nga korero whakataunga a te Kooti mo etahi whenua nui noa atu o te takiwa ki Te Ihi Keepa. A kahore ano he utu mai a Ta Tanara Makarini raua ko Te Karaka ki au, a na reira ahau i mea ai, he tika ano kia haere mai ahau ki konei kia korero ahau ki nga Maori, kia ahua rongo ratou i nga korero a te Kooti i nga ra ano o te Kooti ki ano i korero panui i ana korero." A ka mea atu nei ahau, ahakoa e whakaae ana ahau ki taua whakataunga kupu ; otiia na Te Ateha taua kupu, na Hone Peti, a e hara i au ake. Ano ka oti te whakawa mo Tuakau, ka mea mai taua Ateha ki au ko tana rongonga i nga kupu a Henare Potae i roto i te whakawa mo Tuakau, a no te mea kua rongo aia i nga kupu ano a Henare Poiae i te Kooti Uawa mo te whenua mo Waingaromia Nama 2. Na reira aia i ki ai kahore a Henare Potae i pa ki aua whenua, a ko Tuakau na Tuta, na Hoani me etahi atu o raua hoa, a ko Waingaromia Nama 2, na Pita te Huhu me ana hoa tera whenua. A koia na te ahua o te take e whakataua e Te Kooti, ko aku kupu kua korero nei. E tino marama pu ana mana, kahore rawa a Henare Potae i pa ki aua whenua erua. Kua tino tau te kupu mo Tuakau. Otiia e kore ahau e mea, koia na ano hoki te ara o te kupu a Te Kooti e whakatau ai ano hoki mo Waingaromia Nama 2 no te mea ko Tama-ki-te-Rangi. ki ano i korero a e ki ana i pa ano aia ki taua whenua. NATIVE LANDS COURT. MINUTES of a sitting of the Native Lands Court held at Uawa, on Wednesday, August 30, 1876. Present: Judge Rogan. together with E. Murphy, Esq., J.P., Wi Pere. Henare Potae. Karauria Pahura. Paora Parau, Tuta Nihaniha, and others. The Judge then said : What I have to say is in reference to the cause which has induced me to come here, bringing: with, me chiefs from Tauranga, and inviting chiefs from Uawa to attend. I shall refer to my main reason presently: what I say now has reference to the blocks called Wain- garomia No. 2 and Tuakau. Henare Potae was present at the first Court held at Uawa : he was also present at Waiomatatini, when the title to Tukau was being inves- tigated. The Court gave a decision for a portion of the block. No decision has yet been given to another portion of this block (Tuakau), although the evidence relating to it is complete. The reason for this is that Henare Potae. who is a claimant to that block, asked the Court not to give a decision until the evidence to Waingaromia No. 2 and Tauwhareparae had been taken, he (Henare Potae) being a claimant in both blocks. The Court, considering the proposal to be a reasonable one, agreed to adopt that course. I have since changed my mind as regards that proposal of Henare Potae's, and for this reason. Since I last left here, and when at Waipawa, I was advised by the Go- vernment that Mr. Commissioner Wilson had preferred charges against me. and that the Government had decided not to lay that paper before Parliament until I had been heard in the matter. I have communicated both with Sir Donald M'Lean and Mr. Clark on the subject, and have said that, by replying to these charges, I should be anticipating the decision to a large extent of country, upon which evidence had been

E mea ana ahau, ki te mea ka tu ahau hei Mema mo te takiwa ki Aotearoa nei, ki te taka ki raro o Aotearoa, ka tino ki ahau ki te Runanga Porowini kia tukua te iwi Maori kia mahi i te mahi Pooti, kia rite ki te mahi Pooti ki a te Pakeha. A e mea ana nga Mema o Te Waipounamu, e he ana taua kupu aku. E mohio ana ahau ki te take o taua kupu whakahe a ratou, he mea hoki kei Pooti te iwi Maori, a no te mea e wha-tekau-mano o te iwi Maori, ma reira ka wha ai tekau-mano tangata mo matou hei hapai i te kupu mo Aotearoa, na konei i ho ai taku kupu i Te Waipounamu. Mehemea e whakaaetia ana taku tohe e tohe nei, kia aetia e te Paremata nei, ara. me motu ke ano he Kawanatanga mo Te Waipounamu, rae motu ke ano he Kawanatanga mo Aotearoa, penei ka aetia taku kupu e te iwi o Aotearoa, a ma reira ka ora ai te Maori, ka puta ai te ihu ki te whai-ao nei. He tika pu ano aku kupu, a e kore e taea te whakakahore mai e nga Mema o Te Waipounamu. Koia nei nga korero a Te Rira Wuru Mema mo Akarana i te Paremata, i korero ai ki te Paremata mo nga mahi i whakapaea e Kawana Kerei mo te Kawanatanga a Ta Tanara Makarini, ka mea a Te Wuru. " Ka korero nei ahau i etahi o nga kupu i kiia nei he kupu whakapae take kore, a kia uiui ano hoki ahau ki te korero e kiia nei, i mahi maumau nei i te moni tuku kau mo te mahi a te iwi. E kore ahau e tino korero roa, kaua koutou nga Mema o te Paremata nei e mea, ka hoha kou- tou i taku korero, no te mea ka whaaki ahau i nga take e kiia nei he whakapae take kore ta matou i nga kupu whakahe mo te Kawanatanga. Tena ka patai ahau. He aha nga kupu o te whakapae take kore e kiia nei ? I mea tetahi o aku hoa i whakahe nei ki te Kawanatanga, na Ta Tanara Makarini pu ano i mahi he nga mahi takitaki whakawa, a i he te tikanga o te whakawa, i te mea na Ta Tanara Makarini i pei atu a Meiha Rapata te kai whakawa Pakeha o Tauranga ki Taupo noho ai, he mea na taua kai whakawa na Rapata, no tana whakawakanga i tetahi Pakeha, mo te mahi utu i etahi tangata Pooti, a he hoa taua Pakeha i whakawakia nei no te Kawanatanga, a he taua Pakeha i taua whakawakanga ano e te Kooti Hupirimi Ka ui ano ahau i te take o taua mahi nei ano. I era tau noa atu he kai whakawa a Meiha Rapata i Taupo, a i he wahi mokemoke taua whenua a Taupo, a no to mea he tangata mahi tika a Rapata, koia aia i tukua ai ki Taura- nga mahi whakawa ai. A i noho tuturu ai i Tauranga, i paingia ano hoki aia o nga Pakeha katoa o taua wahi, a i tika tana mahi ki te iwi, ano ka tae ki te ra i kiia ai e te iwi kia whakawakia tetahi o nga Pakeha o te Kawanata- nga, a na Rapata tana Pakeha i whakawa, a he mea kii e Rapata, me whakawa taua tangata Kawanatanga e te Kooti Hupirimi, a he ana taua Pakeha i taua Kooti, a utu ana taua Pakeha i whakawakia nei o Rapata ki te Kooti Hupirimi mo tana mahi he. Ano ka tau te he ki taua Pakeha hoa a te Kawanatanga, tukua ana te pukapuka a te Minita Maori kia Rapata. kia haere aia ki Taupo noho ai. A i tao ano te tono a nga Pakeha katoa o Tauranga kia Ta Tanara Makarini kia kana a Kapata e tonoa ki Taupo noho ai, a i tono ano hoki a Meiha Rapata kia waiho ano rua ki Tauranga noho ai, a kihai rawa a Ta Tanara Makarini i rongo ki aua tono, a haere ana a Rapata ki Taupo noho ai. ki te wahi mahi kore, nona e puta ai he pai ki te iwi. A e mea ana a Ta Tanara Makarini, e hara i te maha maua hara ana, e hara i te mahi whakating mo taua Pakeha mo Rapata i mahia ai e Ta Tanara Makarini kia haere a Rapata ki Taupo noho ai. E mea ana ahau a Te Wuru, katahi ra ano te mahi he te mahi kuare, ko taua mahi a Ta Tanara Makarini. e mea ana a To Rira Wuru, e kore e marama i a Ta Tanara Makarini te take i peia ai, ko ana hoa pea e whakaae ki ana korero, e kore te Paremata nei, e kore te iwi e whakaae, e, he mahi tika taua mahi, engari he maua hara te take i peia ai a Rapata

S kore pea e tino mahia nga whakaaro o te Kawanatanga tawhito mo nga Porowini. A e kiia ana, ka mutu te mahi o te tini noa atu o nga Pakeha kai mahi o Te Kawanatanga. NEI NGA KORERO HOU O TE PAREMATA. No te po o te mane nei no te 4 o nga ra o Hepetema. nei Te Tumuaki o to Kawanatanga hou a Te Atikira i whakatika ai i korero ai ki te Paremata, a i mea ata aia ki nga Mema o Te Paremata. I mea aia kia puta te kupu a Ta Tanara Makarini kia mutu rawa tana mahi Kawana- tanga a e haere ana aia ki Tawahi. A ko te Ture hou mo te hoko mo te Reti i nga whenua Maori i tukua mai nei e Ta Tanara Makarini hei Ture mo nga whenua Maori kua kore taua Ture. A ko To Tari Maori, ara, ko nga tini tini tangata, kai hoko whenua, kai whakamaori me nga Komihana, ka whakakahoretia era, a ka kore noaiho Te Tari Maori. Ko Te Pokera e haere aua ko Tawahi. Otiia e mea ana ano te Kawanatanga hou ka nama moni ano ratou kia Rua miriona. E kore e mohiotia te tika ranei te kore ranei o Te Ka, wanatanga hou, a tera pea e kore taua Kawanatanga e tu no te mea e ki ana etahi o nga Mema o To Paremata me mutu ano hoki te mahi o taua Kawanatanga hou, a me tu ko tetahi atu Kawanatanga.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA. Friend,—Salutations to you. Insert our letter in the WA- NANGA, to inform our friends of these Islands, European and Maori. On the 24th of August last, Paurini Te Whiti desired to show Hone Peti, Assessor of the Native Lands Court, the boundaries of our land (Pukehou). But we did not agree to the division boundary of Paurini, and we went on to that land. We, whose names follow, were the persons who went on to that land. Paurini, Rahi, Hone Peti, who is an Assessor of the Native Lands Court, and associate of Judge Rogan, and we, the disputants of Paurini, were Ratima Te Whiri, Peni Tipuna, Hakaraia Toi. And we held our dispute there ou the land, but did not settle the matter. He (Hone Peti) said to Paurini and the others, go to the Paki Paki and settle this matter, but it was not settled. And on the 29th again, that man (Hone Peti) went on to that land ; we also all went. We, the owners of that land (Pukehou), and we persistently disputed the right of Paurini and others to survey that land ; ana that man Hone Peti said let the survey of Paurini and others proceed. We answered Hone Peti by saying : This is not a duty imposed on you, that you should dispute with us. The Houses in which you have power to act are the Court Houses at Napier and Waipawa. Now, O people listen. Pukehou is not a Native Lands Court, that he (Hone Peti) should go there, but he should leave Paurini, and those who disapprove of Paurini's act, and the surveyor, to settle our own dispute, but he (Hone Peti) appears to approve of the desire of Paurini and others, though we do not agree with the desire of Paurini and others. And he upholds the acts of Paurini, hence we say we condemn his work in causing us much trouble. On the 30th of August, Paurini sent the surveyor with Eria Te Werenga, and Rahi. But this land is held by Crown grant, and these two men Eria and Rahi are not grantees. The surveyor's name is Mr. Hallett, but this work of surveying was not accomplished, aa we brought his god away with us. A female took the god from him (the surveyor), and her name was Reko Mangaonuku, as she is one of the grantees of that land, and we have that thing in these days. Do you (the WANANGA) let our letter be known; do it soon in these days in the WANANGA. Enough from ROTA POREHUA, HAKARAIA TOI, PENI TIPUNA, MATENE WAEWAE, REKO MANGAONUKU, RATIMA TE WHIRI. Paki Paki. ———*——— KI TE KAWANATANGA, KI TE ETITA o TE WAKA MAORI. E hoa, he mea tika ranei ki a koe kia kore te Maori e tae ki te Runanga Huri o te Hupirimi Kooti. He aha te Maori i kore ai e tukua ki te Runanga Huri. He aha i kore si te Mema Maori e Pootitia i roto i nga Porowini. E hoa, e mohio ana ranei koe ki te ritenga o te moni i nama e te Kawanatanga i runga i te ingoa o Nui Tireni. He aha te pai o te whaka- haere Ture o te Kawanatanga mo nga whenua Maori. He mea tika ranei kia kore he Roia mo nga Maori, kia kore hoki he kai whakamaori i nga hokonga whenua riihi, mokete ranei. Heoi aku patai ki a koe, me utu mai ki au, kia marama to utu mai. Porangahau, HENARE MATUA. (To the Government, and the Editor of the Waka Maori.) Friend,—Do you think it is right to exclude the New Zea- lander from sitting on the jury oi the Supreme Court ? Why is the New Zealander excluded from being a member of the Road Boards ? Why is it that the New Zealander is not al- lowed to become a member of the Provincial Councils ? Friend, do you know on what security, or how the Govern- ment gained the power, or what is it by which the Govern- ment borrowed the money in the name of New Zealand? What is the goodness of the Government laws in respect to Native lands ? Is it right that the Maori should not have a Lawyer, also an Interpreter, in all his transactions in selling and leasing his lands ? My questions to you are sufficient, do you answer them to me in a clear manner. HENARE MATUA, Porangahau. KI TE ETITA o TE WANANGA. E hoa, tukua atu taku reta ki nga iwi Maori o te Motu nei. hei tirohanga ma ratou. E taku hoa whakarongo mai, ka hinga tatou i te Ture hou a Ta Tanara Makarini, ko te mate mo tatou i taua Ture, nui atu i te mate kua hori ake nei, taku kupu kia koutou, me tuku tetahi Pitihana whakahe ki te Paremata mo taua Ture Whenua Maori, kia tere te mahi, kei tu te Paremata, ki te Kore e tere, mutu noa te Paremata, ka whai mana taua Ture ki te whakamate i te whenua, tae mai hoki kia tatou ki nga iwi Maori, kaore he tangata e ora i taua Ture. HENARE MATUA. Porangahau, Hepetema 5, 1876. To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA. Friend,—Send my letter to all the New Zealand tribes of these Islands, that they may read it. My friends, hearken. We shall be utterly cast down by the new law proposed by Sir D. M'Lean. And the evils which will come on us by the action of this law will be greater than the evils which we have passed through in past times. This is my word to you. Send a petition to Parliament to express our condemnation of that law for the lands of the New Zea- lander. Be quick, and send it at once, while the Parliament is in session. If you do not take immediate action, and the Parliament ends its session this year, this Bill will become law, and our land will be gone (killed), and we ourselves also. the Natives of New Zealand will not have one mau alive.
