nga ra a mua, hei mahi i nga tikanga katoa a te tanga-
ta e mahi ai i te aro aro o te iwi. A e mea ana matou
e hara i te hanga hanga ake nga naahi e mahi ai nga
tamariki e tawhai nei ki te ahua tangata mo ratou, a
nga ra e kiia ai aua tamariki kia tu i nga turanga o a i
ratou papa, ana tae ki nga ra e oti ai nga whenua te
mahi ki te Kraauna Karaati, a ka whiwhi aua tamari-
ki i nga whenua nui hei mahi ma ratou. Ko a aua ra
te kitea ai te pai ranei te kino ranei. He mea hoki na
matou, ki te mea e kore aua tamariki nei e haere ki
nga Kura kia akona ratou, penei, ko te pai e pai ai
te noho ora o aua tu tamariki i te ao nei, kei te ahau
nui ranei, kei te ahua iti ranei, o te ako e ako ai ratou
i nga Kura. E kiia ana ma te ako kia nui ki nga mea
e akona e te kura, ka kaha ai te tangata, hei tangata
mana ona mahi i te ao nei : a ki te mea ka kuare te
tangata ka kiia e ahua huke huke ana aana mahi.
Koia i kiia ai, ki te mea e kore te hunga whiwhi
tamariki e tuku i a ratou tamariki ki nga kura, he
alma kohuru taua mahi na nga maatua a aua tamariki.
He mea hoki, e kore aua tamariki o mohio ana kau-
matua, ki te mahi tika i nga mahi e ora ai te iwi. e
kaha ai te tutua ki te mahi kai mana, a e tau tika ai
te whakawa mo te hunga e aitua ana i te kino.
Kua kite matou i te korero mo nga kura Maori e
tukua ana ki Te Paremata i nga tau katoa, a e mea
ana etahi kupu o aua pukapuka, e koro etahi o nga
maatua o nga tamariki Maori e tuku tonu i a ratou
tamariki ki nga kura. Na te haere iti o aua tamariki
ki te kura i kore ai e mohio ki te ako ma ratou.
E mea ana matou, ma te mahi hono tonu o te
ako kura e mohio ai te tamariki ki te mohio-
tanga mana, a, e kiia ai nga tamariki Maori kia
tu hei mahi i nga mahi nui mo nga iwi o
nga motu nei. Me mahi e nga maatua o nga tamariki.
kia haere ratou ki te kura, a kia noho tonu ana tama-
riki ki reira. A me mahi ano hoki aua maatua i
etahi tikanga e kaha ai te ako o aua kura, e kore ai e
mutu te mahi nui o aua kura i nga tau katoa.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1877.
IN our present issue we give in Maori a digest of the
speech of the Honorable the Native Minister, of the
many subjects so ably handled by the Hon. Mr.
Sheehan, we deem the intention indicated in the
Government policy in regard to the Maori schools, as
one of paramount importance.
When we consider the position which the Maori is
to take in the social and political affairs of New Zea-
land ; if we look at the amount of responsibility
which will rest on the rising generation of the Maori
youths, who shall succeed the present race of chiefs
and leaders of tribes : when by process of law they
shall become proprietors of considerable landed
estates ; we are lead to look on the future of the Maori
as blooming with joy, or darkened with sorrow, in the
same ratio, and of the same inevitable certainty, as
the amount of industry displayed, or the indifference
shown by those Maori children who shall take advan-
tage of the blessings of education, or neglect the prof-
fered good which schools alone can give.
Knowledge is power, and the reverse is equally
certain, that ignorance is imbecility. If the Maori
parents; do not send their children to the schools pro-
vided for them by the Government, not only do the
parents rob their children, of the right to guide them-
selves, and help in all those institutions provided to
check crime, or to aid the oppressed, and dispense jus-
tice : but they allow a curse which, ignorance engen-
ders in the mind, to rest on the children: by depriving
them of that knowledge which, is required to teach
man to become a good, citizen, and to be an obedient
observer of, and an upholder of the law.
We have received a copy of the annual report of
the Secretary of Native Schools, which is laid before
the Parliament each Session, in which we could not
but remark some observation made by the officers who
inspect schools, deprecating the thoughtless acts of
some Maori parents who send their children to school
for a short time ; others, again, send them, at intervals.
Such children are very slightly taught, thus throwing
the onus of such acts of robbing the children of their
right to education, on the Maori parents.
If the Maori is to learn, he must give all the time of
his youth to study. If he is to take a seat with, those
who are called on by the people to enact laws for the
good of these islands : the Maori parents must not
only send their children to the schools provided for
them, but they must compel the children to remain at
school, and also as far as the parents can, aid in pro-
viding funds to keep such schools in efficient working
order.
TE PIRITI MO AHURIRI.
E kiia ana, kua tae mai te kupu a te Kawanatanga
kia Te Pouta, kia rapua eia te wahi pai, e whiti ai he
Pereti atu ano i tetaha ki Te Pakake i Ahuriri a whiti

E ki ana tetahi o nga Pakeha kai tuhituhi ki nga
nupepa o Ingarangi. "E he ana kia kiia te mahi a
Ruhia raua ko Take e mahi nei i te whawhai. E
hara i te whawhai, engari he whakamomori i te mea
hoki, kaore he tikanga o ta raua mahi, he penei mo te
wahie e ope opea nei ki runga ki te ahi hei kai ma te
kapura. He pena te mahi e mahia nei, he parekura
popo noaiho, he patu papahu noaiho i te tangata,
kaore he mohio a nga kai arahi i aua ope, a he patu
ta ratou i a ratou, ano he koraha e turakina aua e te
tangata hei ngakinga mana, he tu a rakau ngahere te
o te tangata, a pupuhi ai aua tangata e tu ra, me te
ropu otaota i a ratou, a ko te toto, e rere a waipuke
ana. Ano ka hinga te mano a tetahi a tetahi, kaore
kau ona tikanga, ki tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi. Ano
taua ope e patu nei i a raua, me te mea nei, he huke-
huke, e mahi porangi ana, kahore kau he mana a
tetahi a tetahi.

TE KORERO A TE HIANA TE MINITA MAORI KI
TE PAREMATA I TE 15 O NOEMA, 1877.
HE KORERO TUKU MAI NA TA MATOU KAI TUKU KORERO MAI
O TE KORERO.
No a TE HIANA i tu ai ki te korero i tana korero
mo nga mea mo te iwi ki te taha ki nga mahi o To Minita
Maori. He nui noa atu te pai o tana reo, me te tika o
tana whakatu korero. A i pau katoa i aia te korero nga
mea mo te taha Maori. A i pau i aia te korero nga
tikanga e mahi ai ratou ko ana hoa Kawanatanga i nga
mahi ki te iwi nui tonu. He tini tokomaha nga Pakeha
me nga wahine Pakeha i haere ki te whare Paremata kia
rongo i te korero a Te Hiatia, a no te otinga o taua korero
i ahua umeretia aia. mo te pai o ana tikanga, korero ana
aia i nga tikanga ona i tu ai hei Minita Maori, a he mea
korero whakautu eia nga kupu a Te Poki i whakahe ai ki
aia kia Te Hiana. He mea tioki na Te Poki, i mahi a Te
Hiana mo nga Maori o Heretaunga, e mea nei kia hokimai
kia ratou nga whenua riro tahae i te Pakeha o Ahuriri.
A i mea a Te Hiana, nana i ako nga Maori. Kia mahia
tikatia e ratou a ratou whenua riro he, a me mahi ki o te
Ture tikanga, kia kore ai he kino o puta ki te iwi i taua
mahi tohe ki nga whenua riro he kia whakahokia mai ano
ki nga Maori na ratou aua whenua. A i mea a Te Hiana,
na te tika o tana akoako i nga Maori mo a ratou whenua
tango tahae e te Pakeha, i tika pu ai aia i enei ra hei tino
kai whakahaere i te tika mo te iwi. I mea aia be tika

ano kia kiia na Te Makarini ano tetahi wahi o te whaka-
aro i noho pai ai te iwi o nga motu nei, o te tau 1869 a
moroki noa nei. A mei tino mohio a ia ki nga tikanga a te
iwi, penei e kore e oho te he i oho nei nga iwi Maori ki te
he, ki to Pakeha. He tika ano kia ata mahia maharatia
te iwi. A ki te mea e kore te mahi e tino kawea ki o te
Ture tino mutunga, he i ako i te iwi kia kore ai te iwi e
mohio ki te mahi tonu i te kino. A ko te iwi Maori e
noho nei i enei motu e kiia ana e wha tekau ma toru
mano, e wha rau ma waru. A ko te tokomaha o aua
Maori, kei te motu i Aotearoa. A kahore kau he take i
kiia ai te ki, e mea ano te Maori a enei tau e haere ake
nei, ki te whawhai ano ki te Pakeha. A kahore kau hoki
he mea o te iwi i Waikato ki te he ma ratou, i te mea
hoki. E rima mano, e rua rau e rima tekau ma rima
Maori kei reira, a o aua Maori. E rua mano e ono rau, e
ono tekau ma ono Taane, a ko aua Maori e hiahia ana kia
mahi pai mai ratou kia tatou ki te Pakeha, koia i kiia ai e
te whakaaro, e mau tonu te ata noho o te iwi Maori, a e
kore te pai e takahia, e oho ai te mauri o te iwi, a ma
reira, ka nui haere ai nga mahi mo te iwi. I mea aia
kahore kau he tikanga o te Tari Maori, e mau tonu ai
taua Tari, i te mea hoki, me mea taua Tari kia iti iho nga
tangata o taua Tari a nga ra e haere ake nei. He tika
ano kia tu tetahi Tari Maori, otiia, uaua e penei te toko-
maha o nga Pakeha o taua Tari. E kore e whakamutua
nga Takuta, hei mahi i nga Turoro a nga Maori. A e 50
kura mo nga Maori ka mahia tonutia hei ako i nga iwi
Maori e to Kawanatanga. A 11 kura ma nga Maori, ka
hoatu he moni mo aua kura, hei whakakaha i te mahi
mo aua kura. Ko nga moni e hoatu mo aua kura kia
£11,571 (kotahi tekau ma tahi mano, e rima rau e whitu
tekau ma tahi pauna). A kia toru atu hoki mano pauna
e rima rau moni he i utu mo etahi atu kura ano, hei ako i te
Maori ki nga tino mohiotanga nui a te Pakeha. A ko
nga moni kua pau te utu ki nga kura ma te Maori, o te
tau 1870 tae noa mai ki enei ra. E rima tekau ma iwa
mano, kotahi rau e iwa te kau ma whitu. E mea aua te
Kawanatanga kia mahi tahi ratou ki nga Maori, kia mutu
ai to mahi haurangi waipiro a te Maori. A kua mea te
Kawanatanga, te take pea e ahua mutu ai te kai waipiro a
te Maori. Me mahi he Ture, hei whakamana i te Maori.
kia, ma te Maori e whakaae ranei, ma te Maori e whaka-
kore ranei te waipiro, e kawea atu ki o ratou takiwa. He
nui noa atu te pai o te mahi Kuru Tepara ki te Maori, a
me whakakaha tana mahi, kia tupu nui ai taua tikanga ki
nga iwi Maori. Kahore he pai o te mahi hoko o nga kai
hoko whenua a te Kawanatanga, i te mea hoki, kei te nui
o te whenua e hoko ai aua kai hoko i te Maori te utu a te
Kawanatanga ki aua kai hoko, a e hokona ana e ratou nga
whenua titohea. A he mea hoki, ko nga Maori whakara-
ruraru i nga mahi, i kore e tukua a ratou ingoa ki nga
Karauna Karaati o nga whenua. A he mea patipati nga
taitamariki kia tuhituhia e ratou a ratou ingoa ki nga
pukapuka. A ko nga kaumatua kuare £ peratia ano hoki.
A kihai i ata marama nga tikanga o nga whenua rahui ma
nga Maori. Koia i mea ai te Maori, i hiangatia ratou.
Ko nga whenua kua kiia mo te hoko a te Maori. E wha
tekau ma ono miriona, kotahi tekau ma toru mano, e
toru rau e rua tekau ma iwa eka. A ko nga whenua kua
oti te hoko, tekau ma rima miriona, e wha tekau mano, e
waru tekau ma tahi eka. A ko nga whenua kua kiia hei
reti, a ki ano i oti nga tikanga ki te riihi tekau ma iwa
miriona, e ono rau e whitu tekau ma wha mano, ma rua
eka. A ko nga moni kua utua e oti ai. te hoko. E rua te
kau ma waru mano e rima tekau ma rua pauna. A ko
nga moni kua utua mo nga whenua, ki ano i tino oti ki te
hoko rawa mai ki te Kawanatanga. Kotahi rau e wha te
kau ma waru mano, e iwa rau, o rua tekau ma tahi. A
e nui ano hoki he moni e toe ako nei e oti rawa ai aua
whenua, ki te tino o te hoko rawa mai ki te Kawanatanga.
A i Hune, o te tau kua pahure nei, ko nga moni i toe i te
Peeke, hei hoko whenua, kotahi rau e ono tekau ma waru
mano, e iwa rau. e rima tekau ma tahi. E mea ana te
Kawanatanga kia whakaotia e ratou, a ratou hoko whenua
a nga kai hoko whenua. A muri nei ma nga tino Apiha
rawa ano a te Kawanatanga e hoko nga whenua ma te
Kawanatanga. A e kore e pai kia hoko whenua aua kai
hoko whenua, ma ratou ake ranei, me te tangata ke ranei,
otiia, ma te Kawanatanga anake a ratou whenua e hoko
ai. A ka oti te mahi hoko i nga whenua kua mahia e te
Kawanatanga, me mutu to hoko whenua a te Kawanata-
nga i nga Maori. A ko te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Ma-
ori, kia kaua rawa e tae te mana akoako a te Kawanata-
nga, ki nga mahi whakawa a taua Kooti. A kaua ano
hoki o whakamahia nga tikanga o taua Kooti e te Tari
Maori kia riro ai i te Tari Maori te hoko nga whenua a
te Maori mo te Kawanatanga. I kiia, me mahi hou te tahi
wahi o te Ture, kia tika ai, ma te Kawana e whakamana
nga kai tiaki mo nga Maori kua whiwhi i te Karauna
Karaati, a kia tiakina, ano hoki nga whenua a nga wahine
marena. A kia mahia houtia kia ata marama ai i te Maori
nga tikanga e karanga ai to Maori kia whakawakia tua-
ruatia te whenua Maori. A kia ata marama ai ano hoki
nga utu e utu ai te Maori, mo nga mahi whakawa a
te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori. A tenei ano hoki
tenei tikanga, mehemea e tukua ana ma nga rangatira
Maori e mahi whakawa ki o te Maori tikanga nga whenua
Maori ki te Kooti Whakawa Whenua, penei ka iti te pau
i o nga moni hei utu mo nga mahi o taua Kooti. A he pai
kia wehewehea nga whenua Maori ki ia tangata, ki ia
tangata o nga iwi Maori. A he pai ano hoki kia akoako
te Kawanatanga i nga Maori kia hoko nga Maori i a ratou
whenua, ki nga Pakeha e hoko ana i nga wahi iti hei
Paamu ma aua Pakeha, kia nohoia nuitia ai te whenua e te
tini o te Pakeha mahi paamu iti. A kia nohoia etahi
wahi hei Taone. I mea a Te Hiana, e ki ana aia kia toru
mai hoki he mema Maori ki te Paremata, kia whitu ai
mema Maori. A kia oti nga whenua Maori te mahi katoa
ki te Karauna Karaati, hei reira ka mahi pooti katoa ai
nga iwi Maori i a ratou tangata e pai ai hei mema ki te
Paremata, kia rite ai ki o te Pakeha tikanga mo nga mema
ki te Paremata. A i mua a Te Hiana. e mea ana tana
hiahia kia tu tetahi rangatira. Maori o Waikato ranei, o
Ngatimaniapoto ranei hei mema ki te Paremata nei. He
pai te mahi a te Karaka o te Tari Maori. Me te mahi
hoki a To Kira te kai titiro kura. I ki aia a Te Hiana,ko
etahi mahi a te Tari Maori, i pohehe. A i mea a Te
Hiana, kia mutu te mahi a te Paremata nei, ka mahia e Te
Kawanatanga kia, ouou nga kai mahi i taua Tari, kia
kore ai he manakonako a nga iwi Maori ki taua Tari. E
mea aua aia, nei pea e puta te pai, ana kitekite a Kawana
Kerei i a Tawhiao, no to mea na Tawhiao te kupu karanga
i a Kawana Kerei kia kite i a Tawhiao. Otira e kore pea e
oti a raua kupu i to korero kotahi, a tena pea e tono a
Tawhiao i nga mea e kore e tika kia whakaaetia atu ki
: aia, e te Kawanatanga. A i mea a Te Hiana. he nui noa ata
nga kupu a te arero i ki ui i mua, kia mahia te ako a te
i Pakeha ki nga Maori, kia rite pu ai te mohio a te Maori ki
i o te Pakeha mohio, a kua kore kau noaiho aua wawata a
te kupu kau. A i aua ra ko te Pakeha te iwi i torutoru
ona tangata i nga motu nei, ko te Maori te mea i tini i
aua ra i kiia ai aua kupu whakaako i te Maori kia rite ki
to te Pakeha mohio. A i enei ra ko te Pakeha kua nui
tokomaha ke ake i te Maori, ahakoa, ko nga kupu wha-
kaae a te Pakeha o mua i whakaae ai kia akona to te Maori
kia rite ki te Pakeha, na te mea ko te Pakeha kua tino tini,
koia aia a Te Hiana i mea ai, ma reira rawa ano e kiia ai,
ko aua kupu ako i te Maori. Kia mahia i enei ra kia tae
ai ki te pono. A kia mahia rawatia ai ano hoki nga
mahi tika, e kotahi ai te Maori me te Pakeha, hei iwi
kotahi. E mea ana aia a Te Hiana, e hara i to tino mahi
uaua te mahi e kotahi ai nga iwi. Ano ka mutu te
korero a Te Hiana, umeretia ana aia e te Runanga katoa, i
te mea hoki katahi ano te korero marama i kiia mo te
taha Maori, i korerotia ki te aroaro o to Paremata, o te
timatanga mai ra ano o to mahi Paremata i tu a:.

NGA KUPU A TE HATA TE MEMA O TE WHARE
ARIKI MO NGA MAHI I MAHIA KI MOTEO,
ARA, KI NGATAHIRA.
He taokete a TE HATA na TA TANARA MAKARINI a ko
ana kupu i korero ai ki te Runanga Ariki koia nei, i mea
aia " E mea ana ahau, kia mohio te Runanga nei ki nga
kupu i taia ki TE WANANGA, mo tetahi whakawa i whaka-
wakia ki Nepia i tera tau, ko taua whakawa, he whakawa
na Paora Torotoro raua ko Rewi kia Tatana. Ki te mea
ka korero te Runanga Ariki nei i nga korero a TE
WANANGA, ara ngia korero o taua whakawa i taia ki TE
WANANGA, penei e ata marama nga mema o te Runanga
nei, ki nga mahi maminga i niania e te Pakeha ki nga
Maiori kia riro he ai te whenua a te Maori i te Pakeha. A
ma aua korero i taia ki TE WANANGA, ka mohio ai ano
nga mema o te Runanga Ariki nei, ki te take i riro he ai
«tehi whenua ki roto ki nga ruri whenua, ara ko te
whenua kihai i kiia kia ruritia, i ruritia hetia tana whenua
ki te whenua ruri. A ko te whenua i ruritia hetia ra, i
kitea e te Huuri o the Hupirimi Kooti, i riro he tana
whenua ki roto ki te whenua ruri. He nui noa atu taku
oho i te wa i korerotia ai aua korere o taua whakawa, a na
reira ahau i mea ai, i pohehe taku whakaaro whakahe i
nga kupu tangi a nga Maori o Heretaunga i ki nei i riro
tahae etahi o a ratou whenu. A he mea tuku e ahau taua
korero i taia ki TE WANANGA, ki te tahi mema ano o te
Runanga nei, a e mea ngatahi ana maua kihai rawa te
mahi tika i mahia ki nga Maori, a e mea ana ano hoki
maua, ki te mea ka kiia te kapu o te Kooti Hupirimi kia
mahia mo tana whenua mo Ngatahira, penei me utu rawa
ano aua Maori mo taua wahi whenua. E mea ana ahau
me waiho e ahau TE WANANGA nupepa i aua korero ki te
Runanga nei, hei titiro ma nga mema o te Runanga nei.
E mea ana ahau, e pono pu ana nga kupu a taua nupepa
TE WANANGA, i te mea hoki e ahua tika pu ana nga
korero i tana ki TE WANANGA, mo taua whakawa. E mea
ana ahau, e tino tika ana nga kupu i taua WANANGA o nga
korero o taua whakawa a Paora mo Tatana. A i tino tau
he te mahi ki nga Maori. A koia nei te take mai o te he
i tau ai ki nga Maori. I te wa i tono ai nga Maori, kia
whakawakia tetahi o a ratou whenua e taua Kooti, i he te
mahinga o te tahi wahi whenua ki roto ki te ruri o taua
whenua i tonoa nei e te Maori kia whakawakia. A i mea
nga Maori, kaore he whenua ke e whakawakia, ko ta ratou
anake i tono ai e mahia, a no te otinga o taua whakawea,
ka mohiotia he mea ruri he e nga kai ruri te wahi o Nga-
tahira ki te whenua nui tona, ki te mapi. A mahia ana e
nga Maori nga Riiri o taua whenua tohu noa ko to whenua
nui anake. A i mea ano a Tatana kihai aia i mohio i pan
a Ngatahira ki roto ki te ruri o te whenua nui, i kootitia
ra e te Kooti whakawa whenua Maori, a no muri iho o te
wa i oti ai te mokete ka mohio ai, i pau a Ngatahira ki
roto ki te ruri o te whenua nui. E mea ana ahau a Te
Hata, te take i raru ai nga Maori, he kore kai tiaki i nga
Maori, i te wa e tono ai te Maori kia whakawakia a ratou
whenua.
QUOTATION FROM SPEECH IN THE LEGIS-
LATIVE COUNCIL BY
THE HON. ROBERT HART, M.L.C.,
ON THE HAWKE'S BAY LAND PURCHASES.
I will call the attention of the Council to the report of
a case published in a supplement to the WANANGA. This
case was tried in Hawke's Bay some years ago, and was
that of Paoro Torotoro and Rewi v. Sutton. If honorable
members will peruse the report, they will find in the evi-
dence a very fair statement of the mode in which Native
owners, of land have been induced to part with their land
for the purpose of obtaining the means of indulgence in
silly extravagance and sensuality. They will find in that
report how, owing to the want of some check on claims
in the Native Land Court, land not intended to be in-
cluded in a claim has come to be included in that claim,
and how land which clearly, on the evidence, should not
have been included in the original transaction, has been
found, by a jury of the Supreme Court, to have been in-
cluded in the transaction. The perusal of that report
greatly shocked nae, and made me distrust the opinions I
had previously formed. I have submitted it to the opinion
of another honorable member of this Council, and he
agrees with me that in that case there has been a grievous
miscarriage of justice, and that it becomes the duty of
the Government of this country, if called upon to enforce
the judgment of the Supreme Court in that instance, to
purchase the rights of the Natives in the possession of
that land. I will, with the permission of the Council,
place this report upon the table, so that honorable mem-
bers may read it for themselves. It bears intrinsic evi-
dence of its truthfulness from the very style and manner
of the speeches reported in it. I am satisfied it is a clear
and true report of the case, and I am as satisfied that, in
that case, there has been a grievous miscarriage of justice.
The origin of that injustice was that, when the Natives
applied to the Native Land Court to have certain lands
passed through it and made the subject of a Crown grant
to them, land which they did not want to be included in
that grant, and which was not necessary for the transac-
tion, was included in it. They, beliving that they were
only dealing with the land that was actually desired to
be included in the grant, executed deeds which in-
cluded land which was not intended to be included
in the grant. The test of their ignorance on the sub-
ject I take to be this : that the defendant in that suit,
who was interested in the question, admitted that he did
not know himself that land outside of the land original
intended was included in that grant and in the mortgage
until some days after the mortgage was executed ; and I
do not believe that, any interpreter employed by that party
could have explained to the Natives that the mortgage
included land which the mortgagee did not know was
included in it. The origin, I say, of that evil was the
want of some check upon the application of those persons
who applied to get land included in the grant.
RETA I TUKUA MAI.
————:o:————
KI TE ETITA o TE WANANGA.
E hoa tena koe. Tukua ata tena reta kia kawea haeretia e
TE WANANGA ki nga wahi katoa e tae ai ia : hei whakaatu
maku i te pono o nga kupu katoa o te reta a Poroa i taia nei ki
TE WANANGA Nama 44 o te 3 o nga ra o Noema 1877. E
whakaatu ana i te matenga o Tanu Meha te Moananui, me
ana mahi huki i a ia i te ao nei :—Ara, e whakaatu ana ahau,
he pono, he pono rawa ano te vvhaakinga a te reta a Poroa.
He pono rawa hoki na Meha tonu a Hauraki i puta ai i te
takiwa i mura nei te ahi ki Waikato. Ko ta ratou mahi tena
ko ana hoa kua rupeke atu ra ki te mate, ara, a Haora Tipa,
a Patene Puhata, a Tamati Tangiteruru, me Rawiri te Ua, i
roto i Hauraki i taua wa. Na tena mahi a Hauraki a o ona
rangatira hoki i kore ai e puta nga raruraru kino i roto i a ia,
o te wa rano i tae mai ai te Rongo-pai, a tae noa mai ki tenei
ra. Otira, tena pea kua kite koutou i nga kupu o te reta a
Hoani Nahe i taia nei ki Te " Waka Maori" Nama 14 o te 17
o nga ra o Hepetema 1873. e mea nei, kaore ano i tupu noa he
kino i roto i Hauraki, o te orokotaenga mai rano o te Rongo-
pai, a tae noa mai ki tenei ra. Koia ano tenei he kaha no ona
rangatira ki te peehi i ona raruraru. Me hoki ano tatou ki te
wa i timata ai te kino ki Waikato, ara, ko Meha te Moananui
no roto tonu i nga iwi o Hauraki i aroha ki te Motu nei. Ko
ana hoa e mau iho ra nga ingoa, i roto ratou i te Kawanatanga
e whakahaere ana i te pai ki nga iwi o Hauraki. I taua wa e
wehewehe ana a ratou whakahaere, kihai i eke nui te whaka-
haere a ana hoa i runga i nga iwi o Hauraki i aroha ki te
Motu nei. Ma kona koutou nga iwi ke nei e mohio ai ki te kaha
o Meha ki te peehi i nga whakaaro taikaha i roto i nga takiwa
o Hauraki, me tana kaha hoki ki te hapai i te kotahitanga o
nga iwi e rua, o te Pakeha, me te Maori. E hara i te mea i

hapainga e ia te ringaringa kaha o Te Kuini hei tohu mo te
kotahitanga, e maharatia ana e era atu iwi o te Motu nei,
kaore i penatia, engari, i peehia e ia ko te whakaaro-kino i
roto i te ngakau o te tangata, a. koia na ano te ara i tae mai
ai te pai ki Hauraki i roto i te wa i toro ai te ahi i te Motu
nei. E kore e tika kia whakahaweatia tenei tohu mo te
kotahitanga o nga iwi e rua. kaua e maharatia, ma te hapai
rawa i te ringaringa o Te Kuini e kotahi ai nga iwi e rua nei.
He tika ano ia tena, engari, ka hapainga e au tenei kotahi-
tanga, inahoki te kupu e mea nei. kaua e hohoro ki te riri.
koia na hoki te putake o nga wehewehenga, a e mea ana ano.
houhia ta koutou rongo tetahi ki tetahi, kua oti hoki te tuhi-
tuhi.
"Ka hari te hunga hohou Rongo, ka huaina hoki ratou ko
nga tamariki a Te Atua," Matiu 5. 9.
Haunga ano tena, otira, tera ano nga kino, tae nga raruraru
maha e puta ake ana i roto i nga iwi o Hauraki ki a ia ano.
Ko Meha ano te kai peehi i aua raruraru, tena hoki pea kua
Tongo nga iwi nei i tetahi raruraru i mahia i waenganui i nga
iwi o Hauraki, i tupu mai i roto i nga mahi hoko he a te
Kawanatanga kua hinga nei i nga whenua Maori i Hauraki.
a, he raruraru tenei i maharatia hei haranga mo Hauraki i
runga i te kore o tetahi matauranga tangata i kaha ki te ki, e
kore e puta mai he raruraru. A nana tonu na Meha i tinei te
haana, me te mura hoki o te ahi. o te riri o nga iwi o Hauraki.
i timata mai noi i a Tihema 1876, tae noa kia Aperira 1877.
Heoti hei pouritanga, hei rarunga mo te iwi i muri i a ia. i a
ratou ko ona hoa kua rapeke katoa atu nei ratou ki te wahi
mo te hunga hohou rongo, e whakaaturia mai nei e te
Karaipiture. Heoti, e koa ana ahau mo te tukunga mai a
Anaru to Portia i enei kupu kia taia ki TE WANANGA hei
whakaatu kia mohio ai nga iwi, ara. i whai kupu iho ano a
Meha, waihotia iho i te ao nei. Te kupu whakamutunga i
whakapuakina e ia i to 23 o nga ra o Hepetema 1877. i tana
kupu i mea iho nei :—E tama, hei konei i te iwi i Hauraki.
kia mau ki to pai, ki te whakapono, ki te aroha, kia kaha ki
te hapai i te Ture hei tiaki mo te mea iti. kei peehia e te mea
nui, ko taku Karauna kei runga i a koe e mau ana. Mehemea
he aroha to Hauraki ki ona rangatira, ka rupeke nei, a ko te
mahi tika e mau ai to ratou aroha i te iwi. ko te pupuru i a
ratou kupu whakamutunga, ma kona e maharatia ai a ratou
mahi i te ao nei. A ko te mea nui rawa tena hei maharata-
nga, hei purutanga ranei ma te iwi ratou ko nga kai whaka-
kapi i o ratou turanga i muri i a ratou. Heoi ano naku.

utu tika mo te reti o aua whenua i Te Aute ?—Ko taku
whakahoki mo tena patai kei roto i tetahi pakapaka, ko
taua pukapuka kei a Te Rata Porena, na i kite au i te

o Te Kareti i Te Aute, i panuitia e ia etahi wahi o tana
pukapuka ki te Runanga Ariki, ko taua mea kua taia ki

i mua o tona haerenga ki Ingarangi (ka korerotia i konei
taua reta, koia tenei).
Kia Pihopa Harawira, kei Poneke.

E taku ariki. Tena koe. Ko aku kupu tapiri atu ena
mo taku reta i tuku atu nei ki a koe i mua tata ake nei
mo nga whenua o te Kareti i Te Aute. Koia tenei taku
kupu ki a koe, i runga i te mahara o taku ngakau, he mea
pai kia mohio nga kai-tiaki o aua whenua ki te utu tika
mo te tau, mehemea ka retia houtia aua whenua, na reira
tukuna atu ana e au he kupu kia Kanara Heriki (Colonel
Herrick) raua ko Te Honitana (Mr. Sydney Johnston)
kia whakaaturia mai e raua ta raua nei utu i mahara ai, ko
te utu tika mo te tau. Kua tae mai ano hoki ki au te
whakaatu a Te Wiremu (o Te Ngaruroro nei) Mr. J. N.
Williams), a Makaari (Mr. McHardy), me Te Paati (Mr.
Birch). Ko taku kupu mo enei tangata, he tangata tino
mohio rawa atu ratou ki te mahi hipi, otira ki nga mahi
paamu katoa, ko ratou hoki etahi o nga Pakeha i tae tua-
tahi mai ki Ahuriri nei mahi hipi ai i mua noatu ; na
reira me tino manaaki rawa atu te tangata ki a ratou
korero mo tena tu mahi mo te titiro i te pai, i te kino
ranei, o te whenua mo te mahi hipi. Koia tena a ratou
kupu whakaatu kua whaona iho e au ki roto ki te kopaki
o te pukapuka na. Ko au tetahi o nga kai-tiaki o nga
whenua o Te Kareti i Te Aute, na kei tetahi taha o aua
whenua te whenua a maua ko taku teina e piri ana, kua,
kotahi tekau nga tau e noho ana maua ko taku teina ki
reira, na, kua tino mohio maua ki te ahua o aua whenua i
Te Aute. Ki taku mahara, ko te utu tika mo nga whenua
o te Kareti, ko nga moni i whakaaturia e Te Wiremu, e
Makaari, me Te Paati ; ki taku whakaaro he pakeke rawa
ta Kanara Heriki, raua ko Te Honitana, utu i whakaatu
ai. Ki taku whakaaro ko te utu tika mo te reti o ana
whenua, me kotahi mano (Ł1000) pauna i te tau, engari
me whakaae rawa te kai-reti mana e whakapai haere aua
whenua, ara mana e rui ki te karaihe, mana e mahi ki te

e whitu, a mo te paunga o nga tiu e whitu o te tuatahi, ka
tuku ano ki te reti mo etahi atu tau ano e whitu—koia
tenei a matou whakaaro.
Kua kitea e matou, i runga i ta matou rapunga, he
whenua ahua kino te 1,700 eka o te poraka e takoto ana
ki te taha ki te Raki o te roto, no to mea kaore e tino pai
i ana te tupa o nga karaihe Pakeha ki reira.
i Ko tu poraka e takoto ana ki taha ki te Tonga o to roto,
he whenua momona etahi wahi, he kino etahi wahi : engari
ko te wahi nui o tenei poraka ne whenua kino, he iti te
wahi i pai. He maha nga moni e pau i te mahinga taiepa
mo tenei poraka, ho iti nei hoki nga wahi kua taiepatia.
Ko tetahi kua pirau te nui nga o nga taiepa. Ko tetahi
kua pirau te nuinga o nga taiepa, no te mea kua maha
noatu nga tau e tu ana aua taiepa, he maha nga moni e
pau hei whakaora i enei taiepa.
Ka taea noatu e aua whenua he whangai nga hipi e
whitu mano, na i rongo matou e ono mano nga hipi e
he mai nei i runga i aua whenua. Ki ta matou mahara,
he utu tika te kotahi mano (£1000) pauna mo nga tau
tuatahi e whitu o te riihi, a me nga tau tuarua e whitu o
te riihi, me kotahi mano e waru rau (£1,800) pauna te
utu tika mo te tau, ia tau. ia tau. Engari me kawenata
rawa te kai-reti, me hanga e ia i roto i nga tau e whitu
o te tuatahi, kia tekau maero taiepa, me whakapau e
ia kia rima rau (£500) pauna o ana moni ake, hei rui i
etahi wahi o ana whenua ki te karaihe.

TE AUTE COLLEGE TRUST.
THE following is the continuation of the report of, and
evidence taken by, the Public Petitions Committee of the
Legislative Council on the petition of Te Hapuku and 203
other aboriginal Natives, published by us in our issue of
the 17th instant :—
TUESDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1877.
The Right Rev. OCTAVIUS HADFIELD, Bishop of Welling-
ton, in attendance and examined.
101. The Chairman.] You are one of the trustees of the
Te Aute Estate ?—I am.
102. Can you furnish the Committee with any informa-
tion in respect to the value of the property—the annual
letting value of the property—known as the Te Aute
estate ?—The paper I intended to submit to you has
already been furnished to Dr. Pollen, and I observe he
used it in a debate iu the Council, and that it has been
printed in Hansard in its last number. It was a letter ad-
dressed to me by the Hon. Mr. Stokes before he left for
England. I will read it to the Committee. (Letter dated
2Gth May, 1877).
" Wellington, 27th May, 1877.
" MY DEAR LORD,—
" In reference to my previous letter to your Lordship
with regard to the Te Aute Estate, I have the honor to
report that, with a view to obtain such information as
would enable the other trustees to arrive at a just conclu-
sion as to the terms to be granted on a renewel of the
lease, I requested Colonel Herrick and Mr. Sydney
Johnston to favor me with their opinion as to
what they considered would be a fair and
reasonable rental. I have also obtained a report
from Messrs. J. N. Williams. M'Hardy, and Birch. With
reference to these gentleman, I may observe that they are
all experienced runholders. are among the oldest residents
in Hawke's Bay, are practical men thoroughly well ac-
quainted with station affairs, and that their opinions in
these matters are entitled to the highest respect. I enclose
their reports. As a trustee I offer my own opinion, and I
do this with the more confidence, having for the last
twenty years, in conjunction with my brother, owned the
adjoining property, on which I have constantly resided for
the last ten years, and therefore am well acquainted with
the Te Aute estate. My judgment would lead me to
coincide more with the conclusions of Messrs.
Williams, M'Hardy, and Birch, than these of
Colonel Herrick and Mr. S. Johnston, whose esti-
mate I think rather high. I should recommend as a fair
and reasonable rent, if the estate is let on an improving
lease, that the rent for the first seven years should be
£1,000 a year ; that the tenant should covenant to expend
within the first two years of the term, a sum of £1,500 in
fencing, grass sowing, and other improvements ; to keep
and deliver up the buildings and fences in good repair ; to
pay all rents and taxes, and insure all buildings, including
the house in which Mr. Williams resides, at three-fourths
their value. I especially refer to the residence as distinct
from the estate ; as, if the latter were let to another
tenant, the former would be occupied by the Director or
Superintendent of the Te Aute College. At the end of the
first term I would offer a renewal of the lease for seven
years at £1.800 a year. It will be unnecessary for me to
enlarge on the way in which the estate has hitherto been
managed by Mr. Williams, as the trustees know how at
great personal responsibility, he has brought it from a
state of nature to its present improved state : and if it
were let on an improving lease. such as has been sug-
gested, I feel confident the best interests of the trust will
be consulted.
" I would wish to say a few words in conclusion as to
the present state of the school, which I visited without any
previous intimation of my coming, and therefore saw it in
; its ordinary working condition. There are 35 boys ou the
books of the school, 33 of whom whom were present on
my visit, including two white boys, orphan? of European
I parents. Their ages vary from 12 to 13. They were ex-
amined in reading, English grammar, and arithmetic, and
showed an intelligent knowledge of what they had learned.
Their copy books were neat and clean, and the writing
very good. The school is at present held in one of the
dormitories, but a schoolroom is now being erected at a
cost of £300, and it is intended to admit as day scholars
the children of persons residing in the neighborhood,
which will further assist in educating the Native boys in
the habits of civilised life. I am informed that the effect

of the school on the Native mind has been to create a
strong desire to share in its benefits, and that there are
more applications for admission than the school can "ac-
commodate.
"In connection with the college, a Native girls' school
has been established at Napier by the Bishop of Waiapu,
which is under the superintendence of his daughter. The
cost of the building has been defrayed by funds supplied
by friends of the Bishop of Waiapu and other well-wishers
of the missionary cause, and I am satisfied that these insti-
tutions are working, and will work, great good in the
improvement of the Native race, and that the objects for
which the trust has been established have been worthily
carried out.—I have, &c., " ROBERT STOKES.
'' The Right Rev. the Bishop of Wellington."
In that letter allusion is made to a girls' school at Napier.
I may state, for the information of the Committee, that
only boys are taken in at the school at Te Aute : but this
school at Napier has been established so as to provide for
the education of girls. Then allusion is made to two docu-
ments, which I will read. I may state that the trustees
had nothing to do with the valuation that has been made.
The Hon. Mr. Stokes, as he was about to go to England,
thought he should like to have an estimate of the value of
the property, and he obtained these of his own accord, and
they were forwarded to the other trustees. This letter
dated May 8, 1877, and signed by Colonel Herrick and Mr.
Johnston, gives their opinion of the value of the estate ;
and this letter, signed by Messrs. Birch, Williams, and
M'Hardy. gives their opinions, and assigns their reasons
for these opinions :
" 8th May, 1877.
" DEAR SIR..—Acting in compliance with your request,
we have made a careful inspection of the Te Aute estate,
and are of opinion that fifteen hundred pounds a year
would be a fair rent for a term of seven years ; and if let
for a second term of seven years, that the rent should be
two thousand ponds a year.—We are, &c.,
"J. L. HERRICK,
" SYDNEY JOHNSTON.
" The Hon. Robert Stokes, Milbourn, Kaikora."
" The Brow, 15th May, 1877.
"We, the undersigned, have been requested by Mr.
Stokes, to state our opinion as to what would be a fair
rental for the Te Aute school estate for a first period of
seven years, and also for a further period of seven years,
" We find, ou examination, that the block of 1,700 acred
on the north side of the lake is of second class quality, and
does not appear to take English grass readily.
" The block on the south side of the lake is very vari-
able in quality, containing, in our opinion, some of the
best hill land in the province, and at the same time some
of the most worthless. About one-third of this block is
inferior land, the remainder in good. A large expenditure
for fencing is immediately necessary, as beyond the small
paddocks near the homestead, the remainder is included in
one ring fence only. Many of the existing fences have
been up for many years, and will require a considerable
outlay for repairs during the term of the lease.
" The whole block is at present capable of carrying
about seven thousand sheep, and we understand that there
are now about six thousand sheep belonging to the estate.
" We consider that a rental of (£1000) one thousand
per annum would be a fair rental for the first term : and a
rental of (£1,800) eighteen hundred per annum for the
second term of seven years. The lessee to bind himself,
during the first term, to put up about ten miles of fencing.
and to expend about (£500) five hundred pounds in sow-
ing grass seed. " W. J. BIRCH,
•• J. N. WILLIAMS.
" A. M'HARDY."
These are the only two documents which the trustees
have had before there, and I may observe that, though
here is an apparent discrepancy between £1000 a year
(the rate which Messrs. Birch, M'Hardy, and Williams put
upon the land) and £1500 (the value put upon it by Col.Her-
rick and Mr. Johnston), the discrepancy is more apparent
than real, inasmuch as the former gentlemen urge that in
any lease to be granted there should be a provision that ten
miles of fencing should be erected, and that £500 shall be
expended in sowing grass. I made a calculation, and I
think that the sum required for these objects would be
equal to £300 per annum over a period of seven years,
and would bring up the amount of the rent to about
£1300 a year. Then you will observe Mr. Stokes recom-
mends that the tenant should pay all rates and taxes, and
insure all buildings. So I think on the whole the rent
would amount to about the same ; there would not be
very much difference. In confirmation of what Mr. Stokes
has said, I may read the following extract from a private
letter which I have received :—
Extract from a letter from Mr. Ashton St. Hill to the
Bishop of Wellington.
•• I do not know much of the Te Aute block, but this I
must say, there is a good deal of inferior land in it. Should
there come a course of dry seasons it could not possibly
carry more than a sheep to the acre. I think it was un-
fortunate that Colonel Herrick and others were asked to
value the place at a time of year when things were look-
ing well. I think any one giving £1,500 a year would be
speculating, and most likely become a defaulter. £1,200
might be paid for it, but even at this sum it would take
some management to bring in anything."
The trustees have not yet met to decide anything. The
Hon. Mr. Stokes brought this letter before us, but Mr.
Hunter, who was then about leaving Wellington for
Napier, promised to make further inquiries when he was
in Hawke's Bay. Since that time we have not met. The
lease does not expire till January, so that there was no
necessity for our acting decisively till then. But to show
how Mr. Stoke's opinion is coincided in by other persons,
I quote from the proceedings of the General Synod, held
in Nelson last February, the following extract from the
Report on Trusts laid before the Synod. It says in refer-
ence to Te Aute :—
EXTRACT from the Report of the Committee on Trusts,
General Synod, February, 1877.
Te Aute School Trust.—The Report shows a satisfac-
tary state both of the property and of the school. The
present annual income from the estate is five hundred
pounds, and is expected to increase in 1878 to one thou-
sand pounds. The Native Boys' Boarding School at Te
Aute is full : there are thirty-two scholars, a few of whom
are half caste. It is intended shortly to enlarge the
school-house, severa applications to receive more scholars
having been refused lately for want of room."
I think it is a curious fact that the trustees, upon some-
what vague evidence, thought the nett income probably
derivable from the estate from the beginning of 1878
would be so nearly the sum that valuators have fixed as
the annual value.
103. Hon. Colonel Brett.] It has been said that it would
be a great advantage that the estate should be let in
blocks. What would the trustees think of such a proposi-
tion ?—I should myself oppose it, advised as I ara at pre-
sent : and I think the trustees would be disinclined to Jo
that.
104. What do you think the land is worth per acre ?—
IT. is impossible to estimate the value per acre of land of
such different qualities. When I rode over some parts of
it some time ago, ray wonder, after leaving the grass on
the West Coast, was how sheep could live upon it at all.
I am quite unable to give an answer to that question, be-
cause the land is of such different qualities in various
parts.
1C5. Hon. Captain Fraser.] We have very reliable evi-
dence that the value of the property is about £2,300 a
|

TE WANANGA.
year, and that if it were put up to auction it would pro-
bably bring that or more. I wish to know whether the
trustees would object to put it up to auction ?—I think
they would ; but if we could make an agreement to let it
for £2800 a year, speaking for myself, I think we should
be only too glad to do it at once.
106. Ara I to understand that the trustees positively
object to put it up to auction either in one block or in
several blocks ?—I, for one, should object. I am not
aware that any private estate, such as Te Aute, has been
let by auction in Hawke's Bay.
107. Hon. Colonel Brett.] Would you object to tenders
being called for the lease ?—I should object myself : I do
not know how the other trustees feel in that matter.
108. May I ask your reasons ?—Simply because in pro-
perty of that kind it is far more essential that a good
tenant should be secured, than that any mere temporary
increase in the rent should be obtained If you put it up
to auction or offer the lease by tender, it is possible you
may have tenants whom you might have to sue in "the
Supreme Court to recover the rent ; that has been the case
with properties with which I have been connected as
trustee.
109. Hon. Captain Fraser.] Are there not plenty of
people about that neighbourhood, or in the country of
New Zealand, who can be relied upon in that respect ?—If
you put it up to auction, then I understand it is knocked
down to the highest bidder, irrespective of his means or
ability to pay.
110. Hon. Mr. Edwards.] Terms might be made that
the rent should be paid in advance ?—Yes : that is so.
111. The Chairman.] I believe the sheep belong to the
Trust ; do they not ?—Yes.
112. And if the tenant made away with them the
trustees would have no remedy ?—No."
113. Hon. Colonel Brett.] If this lease is arranged with-
out being put up to auction, will it not give general dis-
satisfaction to the people of Hawke's Bay ?—That is to
me, as a trustee, a matter of utter indifference : I and the
other trustees act conscientiously in endeavouring to do
the best we can for the Trust, and we are utterly indif-
ferent to outside opinion.
114. The Chairman.] One part of the petition states
that the children of the hapu—I do not know which hapu
it is—that gave the land, are not instructed at school ?—
The school is at present full, I believe.
