ON Friday, the 31st of May, 18788 the remains of the celebrated chief Te Hapuku, of Hawke's Bay, were conveyed to the grave. A concourse of not 1 less than twelve hundred persons, including Maoris J and Europeans, gathered round the vault in which the body was interred to pay their last respects to the remains of the old chief. On Thursday the public of Napier were informed by notice in the public papers that a special train would run free from Napier to Te Hauke, to afford an opportunity to all Europeans or Maoris who might wish to attend the funeral of the late Te Hapuku. At the same time the Napier Artillery Volunteers received instructions to attend and be present at the obsequies of the late chief. These, in full uniform, arrived at the Napier rail- way station as the train was ready to proceed, and with these and the other portion of the public, the train carried not less than six hundred, which started at 12 noon. At the Farndon station other members of the public took a seat in the train, and at Hastings several also availed themselves of the opportunity to attend the funeral. At Te Pakipaki station a great number of Europeans and Maoris also took their seats on the bridges of the carriages, which gave the appearance to the train, as the Hibernian said, " of being filled inside and out. On the approach of the train, as it came in sight of Te Hauke, those Natives who had gathered at the settlement of the late Te Hapuku dropped the flags which, up to the time the train appeared in sight, had been waving silently in the breeze. This act in dropping the flags was the Maori re- cognition of the feeling of sorrow which the arrival of the Europeans coming in the train expressed to the memory of their late chief. On the arrival of i the train at Te Hauke, a great crowd of the women and girls all rose to their feet, waving shawls, hand- kerchiefs, and boughs of green shrubs, and at the same time called "Haere mai" (welcome), which J waving of garments and boughs and calling the i welcome was continued till the European public in I a crowd, headed by the Volunteers, entered the I gate leading to the Hauke kainga. When the I Volunteers fell into column of marching order, and I just as the word of command was given, " Quick I March," a number of the Maori young men I of Te Hauke had formed themselves into I column, with guns in hand, in imitation of I the Volunteers, and fired a volley to welcome I the arrivals by the train, but especially the soldiers and the children soldiers, which they recog- nised in the cadets. Those who visited Te Hauke ' I on the day in question could not but be amused at I the various and motley dresses worn by the Maori people as mourning for the late chief, from the child of a few years old to the aged and decrepid; . the use of every color that the European dyer could show on silk, cotton, or cloth was seen, in as various costumes and patterns as the multifarious dress- makers in Christendom and Maoridom could devise. As the crowd of Europeans entered the gate, the Hon. H. R. Russell, Miss Herbert, F. J. Moss, Esq., M.H.R., F. Sutton, M.H.R., J. G. Kinross, Esq., and other well known gentlemen, W. L, Rees, Esq., M.H.R., C. A. DeLautour, Esq., M.H.R., with Mrs. Rees, Mrs. DeLautour, and many of the ladies of Napier were invited by the chiefs who were superintending the funeral proces- sion to go and see the coffin of the late Te Hapuku. I The coffin was beneath an awning of canvas, with the feet of the dead directed to the hill " Kahuranaki," which is in an easterly direction from Te Hauke, and is a noted mountain in Maori tradition, fore- telling storms when a covering of clouds envelopes the cap of that hill. The name of this hill was also repeated in many and various incantations in ancient times to ensure a good lishing season, and also a goodly number of birds at the time when pigeons and kuaka (snipe) were taken in the old Maori way of trapping and spearing birds. To this mountain, as the sacred hill of his ancestors, the feet of the departed were directed, The coffin 1 was trimmed with black cloth, and all around the I edges of the lid was decorated with the usual orna-

TE WANANGA. ments placed on the biers of those to whom their rela- tives wish to pay some amount of respect. A plate of glass had been let into the lid, through which, For the whole week which the corpse had been kept, the people might see the face of the deceased when they assembled to weep over his death. On entering the awning, at the right was seen the widow of Te Hapuku, who in a dress of black was standing waving her hands to and fro, with tears streaming down her face, while she chanted a song of sorrow to him who was now with the dead. At the head was tied at each end a sapling, about six yards long, to which were suspended five greenstone Mere Pounamus, one Meremere of whalebone, and a variety of small greenstone ear ornaments. And on the left and next to the coffin was Hene-i-Paketia, a woman of rank equal to any chief in Hawke's Bay. Being one of the oldest women of rank, and closely related to Te Hapuku, she was the principal person in charge of the corpse. She stood in silence, but at times waved her hands to and fro. Next to her, and sitting in a crouching position, with her head bowed down, was the aged wife of Paora Kaiwhata, weep- ing in a low voice, chanting a song of old, expres- sive of the sorrow of the living for those who have passed from this life. On arrival of the Hon. H. R. Russell and party, these Maori mourners at once gave the welcome, " Come to see him," and the covering of the coffin lid being drawn aside, after Mrs. Rees and her friends had seen Te Hapuku, the European public had the melancholy gratification of looking at the face of the late chief for the last time. More than half an hour was taken up by those who passed in to pay this last mark of respect, and when all had seen him who wished so to do, a chief, in a clear voice, in Maori, called aloud to the assembled crowd to make a passage through their midst for the funeral procession to pass. This being done, eight chiefs carried the coffin from beneath the awning, and followed by the Volunteers, they pro- ceeded to the vault which had been built on a spot on which in former years had stood a large house which had been occupied by Te Hapuku, and near to which the noted chief Puhara had been buried. Some few days before the death of Te Hapuku, he was requested by the old chiefs to say where he wished to be buried Some of them suggested that he should be conveyed to the old and sacred wahi tapu at Waimarama, where for ages his family had been buried. To this he demurred, and wished to be laid near Puhara, close to his then home, Te Hauke. Te Hapuku had spent much of his money, and the last months of his life in building two large houses near to where Puhara had been buried. These houses stand on the north side, about four hundred yards from the line of railway which passes in front of Te Hauke, in which settlement these houses stand ; on the south, and about one hundred and fifty yards distant is the grave of Puhara. On the east of this grave is the vault in which Te Hapuku was laid. The Rev. S. Williams, son of ihe late Bishop Williams, was the officiating minister, who read the burial service in the Maori language, the responses to which were repeated by the Maoris around in an audible and solemn man- ner. The vault in which the old chief was buried is about twelve feet deep, the rim being built about three feet above the surface of the ground. At the conclusion of the ceremony of reading the Church of England Service for the dead, the Volunteers and those young Maori men who fired a volley of welcome to the Europeans, fired three volleys over the grave, and the assembly dispersed. The chiefs and those who were deputed to give a welcome to the European visitors at once busied themselves in inviting the people, especially the Europeans, to enter the large assembly house, where a good display of viands, such as wine, beer bread, cheese, biscuits, and other eatables were pro. vided for the European visitors. Each and every one who visited the Hauke oh that day were wel-. corned by the Natives to partake of refreshment. The kai provided for the Maori people was not given till after the train conveying the Europeans to town had left Te Hauke. As a telegram had been received by the chiefs from Sir George Grey, Hon. J. Sheehan, and the Government, Mr. J. White was requested to read it to the assembled Natives. Renata Kawepo, Paora Kaiwhata, Tareha Te Moananui, Harawira Tatere, Noa Te Hianga, Henare Matua, Ropata Te Hoakakari, and all the principal chiefs of the various hapus (family tribes) of the great generic tribe " Kahungunu," and all the Maori people then present assembled in front of the house called, " Kahuranaki," when the telegram as follows was read to them:—"To Te Watini Hapuku and all the children of Te Hapuku, and all the tribe: Friends, salutations to you. It is with the deepest sorrow that we have heard of the death of your father and chief, Te Hapuku. The memory of Te Hapuku will not soon be forgotten. His name was known not only through the Islands, but also in other lands. His fame as a warrior, in the days of old, is known to all the tribes, and the Europeans know and are thankful for the many acts of kindness and protection received by them at his hands; the Pakeha will not soon cease to re- member or to grieve over the dead, Te Hapuku. In these days but few men like Te Hapuku remain- the old trees are being blown down by the wind, or falling through old age ; and who shall say whether the young fruit now growing up will ever equal them in strength or usefulness. Our great hope is that the mana of Te Hapuku will fall upon one who will be able to guide his people safely, and to preserve them from the perils which await a flock without a shepherd. It is also a subject of exceed- ing regret to us that we are unable to be present at his funeral, but though we may not be ,there in person, we shall nevertheless be present in the

When the telegram had been read, Paora Kai- whata asked it to be read a second time, which was done, and Nepia Te Hapuku rose and said, in Maori, Mr. White again acting as interpreter: "I speak to. you Europeans who have come here to-day to attend the funeral of my father, Te Hapuku. We, the children and people of Te Hapuku, are much pleased because you show that you think much of Te Hapuku. You all know I that he was a kind man to the Europeans, and his kindness "was ever shown to all. We say we are pleased because you have come to be present at his burial. So ends my word to you." Paora Kai- whata said : " The words of the telegram are good. We will think of them." Mr. White again rose and said, "Sir G. Grey and his ;friends have sent another word to you which I have been requested to tell to you. It is this: Sir G. Grey and his friends think that a lasting memorial should be put up for Te Hapuku, one which may be seen by future generations, and one on which may be read an account of Te Hapuku, so that all who read it may know how much esteem he was held in by those who knew him. Sir G. Grey and his friends therefore say that if you, the chiefs and tribes and people wish it, he and his friends will assist in erecting such a memorial for Te Hapuku."" Mr. White then asked, "What is your answer to this, O chiefs, tribes, and people ?" A loud call, in which all the 'Natives joined, was, " We all agree." Mr. White put the question then, " Is it left by you to Sir George Grey and his friends to select, and to tate all action in this matter ?" A loud answer from all the people," Yes." Again the question was put by Mr. White, " Are you all of one opinion ? " Answer by all in a loud voice, " Yes" Soon afterwards the Europeans partook of the good things provided for them by their Maori friends. We here quote from the " H. B. Herald," which says, " When the Volunteers were assembled just prior to leaving, a Native chief requested Major Withers' permission to address them, and Mr. Master acting as interpreter, Harawira te Tatere spoke as follows :—• We are very much pleased with you all for coming to Te Hauke. We all thank you for coming. He has departed from amongst us, and we are left to lament his loss. He was a great warrior, and a good and hospitable man, both to white men and Maoris. I have been in war with him and the white people, at Taupo and other places. May you all live long and continue in good health. I again thank you all for coming, both for myself and our people. That is all I have to say." Major Withers said : * We are all sad at the loss sustained by you all by the death of Hapuku. He was a brave and hospitable man, and I hope his sons will follow his example " :" As the train moved on its return journey to town, the flags floating from the staff were again dropped, and repeatedly drawn up and down, while the Maori crow.d called with a loud shout a good day to the departing visitors. As these flags have a significa- tion, we will give a short description of them: A large flagstaff, surmounted by a fish, the latter re- presenting the name of the deceased chief—Ha- puku—stood in the midst of the Hawke settlement. The staff was decorated with six flags—the first and that beneath the fish was the English ensign; the second was red and white, bearing the word " Winiata"; the third, red and yellow, with a cross and other devices, bore the words, " Kingi Onui- tirene" (King of New Zealand). This flag was one sent to the old chief, Hapuku, by the tribes who were the head of the Maori war with the Go- vernment, which Hapuku accepted from the mes- sengers, after which he told them to go home, and not to trouble him again; it has been kept by him ever since as a thing to laugh at, and for want of other flags was made to add to the number on the day of mourning. The fourth was green and black, with white devices ; the fifth, black and red, had the head and shoulders of a tatooed Native and the word " Otenema." This flag is one owned by Otene Matua, who had it as the flag of their family to denote them from unfriendly Natives in the disturbed times in past years. The sixth, deep black, bore simply the inscription " Hapuku. The house called " Kahuranaki" is well worth the trouble of a journey from town to inspect, it has been spoken of as the most conspicuous object in the pah at Te Hauke, and is the meeting-house, which is also used for a church. The frame-work is of rounded timber, painted and carved; the walls of raupo and flax, beautifully worked and colored, the whole reflecting much credit on Native skill and talent. It has an elegant porch, and is lofty and roomy inside. Another equally large building, though of less pretensions, which was the house in which Te Hapuku lived, is built all of sawn timber. In this the old chief had not the pleasure for any considerable time to preside as in the days of old, as the host of guests from the tribes visited him. There may be chiefs of higher oratorical power, there may be chiefs who speak more, and take more thought of European wishes and whims, but we can confidently say there are not many who could cope with the late Hapuku in true hospitality, genuine honesty of speech, and more choice in his words and respect to those in whom he confided, and one who could with more unmistakable language speak the truth to those to whom he was opposed in equity and justice. In times of old, and even in the present day, when a Maori child had a Maori name given to it, such name was invariably the index to some injury com- mitted, or act done by those to whom the child was related, and thus history was perpetuated and a knowledge of it preserved in the names of the people of a tribe. The names of the late

TE WANANGA. chief Hapuku had their origin in this way. Some time before Te Hapuku was born, the corpse of the son of the great Hawke's Bay chief, Te Pakiko, was being taken from the settlement in which he died to the sacred place at Waimarama. The procession carrying the corpse, •in passing some strangers on the road, one of them said, "Is that a codfish (Hapuku) which is being carried." When the child was born, Hapuku (cod- fish) was the name given to it, to keep the insult in remembrance. Karanema was the eldest son of Te Hapuku, who just before he died asked for Aruhe (fern-root) to be given to him to eat. Hence Hapuku assumed the name of Aruhe to keep the dying wish of his son in remembrance. The Euro- peans who could not speak Maori, having heard that Hapuku stood for codfish, some of them in a joke instead of calling him Hapuku in Maori, said in English, " Well, great fish of the sea." This be- ing translated to the old chief, he put it into Maori and hence his other and last name, " Te Ika nui o te "Moana." Te Wananga Kotahi Putanga i te Wiki. HATAREI, S HUNE, 1878.

Kia ora koutou e te Pakeha, he whakapai atu tenei naku kia koutou. Heoi ano aku kupu. Ka tu a Meiha Wita ka mea, a ko Tiema Mata ano te kai-whaka- maori. E pouri tahi ana tatou mo te matenga o Te Hapuku, he tangata manaaki aia ki te ope haere, he tangata toa aia. E mea ana ahau, ka pai ano kia pera hoki nga tamariki a Te Hapuku." Ka tangi te whio o te tereina rerewe, ka eke te ope Pakeha, a hoki ana ki te Taone. Ka hutihutia ano nga kara e tare ra i te Hauke, hei powhiri mo te ope ka hoki ra. NGA RONGO KORERO. NGA RUIHANA I TE MOANA O HAWAIKI NEI. Hei nati te hono tonu o te kupu puta huhua mai i te rongo korero i nga wa katoa e he ai a Ruhia ki Ingarangi, ara te kupu penei na, ka raru a tatou kaipuke utauta taonga i tenei moana i te Ruhia. A ho kupu hono tonu te kupu nei e kii, ara, kua hoko kaipuke te Ruihana, i te iwi o Ame- rika, a kua tata te huakina a tatou kaipuke uta taonga e te Ruihana. Na te Ruhia pea aua korero i kii, kia kore ai he hiahia mea atu o te iwi a Kuini kia Ruhia, a kia kore ai he nea whakahe atu a te Pakeha kia Ruhia, a kia waho ai a Ruhia kia mahi i ana mahi he, a kia kaua e whawhaitia e te Pakeha. Otiia, e pai ana kia rongo tatou i aua kupu a Ruhia mo aua kaipuke tono he tana, hei ratini i a tatou kaipuke tauta taonga atu i enei Motu ki Ingarangi. He tika ano ei te mea ka tohe te Ruhia, kia tukua mai ana kaipuke huaki i a tatou kaipuke uta taonga, tera ano etahi o a tatou kaipuke e raru, i te mea hoki, kahore kau he kaipuke manuao o Ingarangi i tino tini noa i enei moana, hei pata i aua kaipuke mutu a te Ruhia. A e kore hoki te iwi Pakeha e wareware ki nga kupa a Ruhia raua ko te iwi o he whenua i Hapana (te mou-tere i tua atu o Poihakena,) i whakaae ai i nga tau i mua, i te mea i kii aua kupu a raua ki te mea ka he tetahi iwi kia Ruhia, penei ma taua iwi i Hapana o tautoko a Ruhia. A kua oti ano hoki nga wahi e tu ai nga mea a Ruhia i taua whenua, ara nga wahi e aami ai he kai ma Ruhia mo nga ra o te riri, ana puta te whawhai i tenei moana. Ki te mea ka mahi te Ruihana i te kaipuke tono he i nga kaipuke utauta taonga a te Pake- ha, he mea pai nana i ako, a kamahi ano tatou i te kaipu- ke hei mahi i ana kaipuke, i te mea hoki e hara aia i te mea he atua aia, e whai wahi ano ratou i nga ra ona e mahi pera ai. A ki te mea ka hoko te Amerikana i te kaipuke mate Ruhia, ko a te ra pu ano o aua kaipuke e maanu mai ai i aua wahi, ko te ra ano tera e puta ai ano hoki he kaipuke a tatou hei patu i aua kaipuke. RUSSIA IN THE PACIFIC. It is sufficiently remarkable that whenever any serious misunderstanding arises with Russia we hear that all pre- parations have been made to prey upon our commerce in the Pacific : that arrangements have been entered into for the equipment of privateers in American ports, and so forth. So consistent are these announcements that we incline to look upon them as a part of the systematic game of political " poker :' which Russia has so success- fully played for two years past at our expense. But for that very reason we ought neither to be deluded nor allow ourselves to be injured when we are thus forewarned. There can be no doubt that if war does occur, we could be considerably damaged iu the Pacific Ocean by Russian cruisers, if their commanders chose to run such risks as no English captain would shrink from when he saw a good chance of injuring the enemy. At present we are not strong enough in the Pacific for the interests we have to protect. Nor must it be forgotten that there exists between Russia and Japan certain stringent engagements which at the commencement of a struggle would very possibly tell against us. These are points altogether- trifling as regards our main policy, but they should not be overlooked in a general survey of the situation. The heavy expenditure incurred at Petropaulovski, and the obvious wish to stand well with China and Japan, ought to convince us that, so far as adequate preparation for contingencies can secure her interests, Russia at any rate does not intend to be taken at a disadvantage. The threat of fitting out privateers in America is interesting as showing the amount of importance which Russian. journalists and diplomatists attach to the Declaration of Paris. Indeed, as the Russians now contend that the Treaty of Paris is torn up, it is difficult to see what

TE WANANGA. remains, from their point of view, of the declaration itself, which is merely an informal document attached to the Treaty. They are well aware, however, that two can play at the game of privateering, and that the first " privateer " which issued from an American port would be the signal for such reprisals as would daunt the courage of any European Power whose alliance Russia may be bargaining for at the present time.—Pall Matt Gazette. NGA POOTI MAORI. E ki ana te nupepa te Katapere Perehi E penei ana te tikanga o te whakaaro a te Ture hou a Kawana Kerei mo te pooti a te iwi. Ki te mea ka noho te tangata i te ta- kiwa pooti, a tekau ma-rua marama ono e noho ai i taua takiwa, penei, me pooti taua tangata mo nga Mema mo te Paremata. Otiia kia kotahi ano pooti ma te tangata ko- tahi. E mea ana matou te Katapere Perehi, mei penei te kupu a Kawana Kerei, kaua to Pakeha e penei, kua tika, i te mea hoki e rere ke ana tetahi tikanga mo te pooti a nga tangata Maori. He mea hoki, i enei ra e rua pooti a te tangata Maori, a e mau tonu aua pooti e rua ki te tangata. Maori. Nei hoki nga take i rua ai pooti ma te tangata Maori, ki te mea he whenua ta te tangata Maori, a he Karauna Karaati to taua whenua, ka kiia e taua Maori kia tuhia tana ingoa ki te pukapuka whakamana pooti, penei he pooti ta taua tangata mo taua whenua Ka- rauna Karaati. A tetahi pooti ano a taua tangata ra ano, e tika ana aia kia pooti i te Mema Maori mo te Paremata, ka rua ai ana pooti. A i enei ra, e kiia ana, kia nui ake he Mema Maori ki te Paremata, a kia whitu Mema Maori ki te Paremata. A ki te mea ka kiia te tikanga a Kawana Kerei mo te pooti hei Ture, penei ka pooti nga Maori katoa mo nga Mema Pakeha mo te Paremata. A ki te mea ka ki te Maori kia riro ki ia ratou tangata e pai ai hei Mema mo te Paremata, he tokomaha ke atu no nga Maori i etahi takiwa i te tini o te Pakeha, a ma reira e riro ai te pooti ki ta te Maori tangata e pai ai. A ma reira e rua ai he pooti ma te Maori. He mea hoki ka pooti ratou i ta ratou Pakeha e pai ai hei Mema mo te Paremata, a ka pooti ano i ta ratou tangata Maori e pai ai hei Mema ano mo te Paremata. A ko aua Mema Maori e whitu ra, mo te iwi Maori motuhake era, ehara i te mea ka pooti te Pakeha mo era e tu ai "nei Mema ki te Pare- mata. Koia matou te nupepa Katapere Perehi i ui ai, na te aha i peneitia ai. na te aha i rua ai pooti mo te iwi Maori ?. MAORI VOTING. The Canterbury Press says :—" The provisions of his Sir George Grey's) new law for the reform of the fran- chise were described in these words: That every male adult who has resided for a period of twelve months within an electoral district shall have a vote in that dis- trict to return its representative, and that no man shall ) have more than one vote He should have said no white man. For there is to be an exception in favour of the Maoris. They have two votes now, and are still to have them. Every Native who has a freehold, leasehold, or household qualification, as provided by the Constitution Act, can have his name placed on the electoral roll of the district, and in addition he enjoys the right of voting in the election of a purely Maori representative. These privileges are now to be largely extended. In the first place the number of Maori members is to be increased from four to seven ; and secondly, the operation of man- hood suffrage will confer the right of voting in Parlia- mentary elections, not only on those Natives who are qualified in the regular way. but on all Natives whatever. Every adult Maori in an electoral district will have a vote in virtue of being a man and a resident. In some places the Native voters will be numerous enough, if they choose to exert their power, to swamp the settlers. And having assisted to return members by means of the franchise which they share with the colonists, they will proceed to return seven more by the exercise of a second franchise which they keep exclusively to themselves. Why the Maoris should be held entitled to these extra- ordinary advantages we are at a loss to understand." NGA KORERO O NEHE, ME TE KAUHAU TATAKU I NGA IWI I INGARANGI. (UPOKO 2.) HE mea pai ano pea, kia haere atu nga iwi Romana ki te Motu i noho ai nga tupuna a te Pakeha Ingarihi a kia riro i te Romana te tikanga o te mahi o nga mea o tana Motu, i te mea hoki he iwi mahi kino aua tangata o taua Motu i aua ra, a ua te Romana i ako te iwi Maori o taua Motu ki te mahi e kore ai e tahuna oratia te tangata, te wahine, te tamariki, hei kai horo- horonga ma a ratou atua. I aua ra e noho kino nei te iwi Pakeha i te Motu i Ingarani, he iwi nui, he iwi toa te iwi Honiana, i te mea hoki, kua whawhai taua iwi Romana ki nga iwi katoa, ki te taha ki te hauauru o Oropi katoa, a kua noho mokai aua iwi i aua ra ki te Romana. A he mea hoki, na te iwi Maori o te Motu i Ingarangi i tautoko, ara i haumi te taua patu a tetahi o aua iwi, i ta ratou whawhai ki te Romana, koia a Hiha te Epara me te toa arahi i te ope taua a te Romana i rere ai runga i ana kaipuke ki te Motu i Ingarangi, ki te patu aua iwi o Ingarangi, mo ta ratou whakahoa ki nga iwi o te taha ki te hauauru, ki te patu i te Romana. A i aua ra o Hiha i haere ai ki te patu i nga iwi Maori o Ingarangi, kahore ano a Te Karaiti i whanau mai ki te aio nei. A kia rima te kau ma rima tau i muri iho o Hiha i whawhai nei ki aua iwi o Ingarangi i whanau ai a Te Karaiti ki te whenua i Huria, i roto i te moana o te Metitereniana, i te tahi taha o taua maoana, i Ta- wahi ake o te wahi i ta ai te Pa nui a te Romana, i Koma. A i aua ra i u ai te Homana ki Ingarangi i u ratou ki te wahi i kiia nei ko Hehitinga; a e whakau ana te ope taua a te Romana, ka reia mai e ana iwi Maori ki roto ki te ngaru o te moana whawhai ai, a he iwi haere a ika te Romana, koia i toa ui, tena ko te ope a te iwi o Ingarangi, he ope marara noa atu, a kihai i roa e papatu ana, ka whati te iwi whenua, ka noho te Romana i uta. A ahakoa i mahi pa te Roma- na hei nohoanga mo tana ope, ke mea huaki po e te iwi whenua, a ka mate etahi o te Romana. A tetahi raruraru ai te Romana he putanga no te awha, a na te hau nui, i aki a ratou kaipuke ki te toka o te moana, a pakara katoa etahi o a ratou kaipuke. I te wa o te Romana e mahi hanga hou ana i aua kaipuke, he mahi huaki tonu ta te iwi whenua ki nga kai mahi o aua kaipuke patu ai. A i te wa e riri kino ai te Romana, mo ratou e huakinotia nei i te po ka tere te ope taua a te Romana, ki te aru i aua ope huaki i teiwi whenua, ka kite teiwi whenua, i te Romana ka haere ratou ka manu-kawhaki ia ratou, a ko te kainga o te iwi whenua he mea mahi ki waenga repo tu ai, he mea arawhata te repo hei ara atu ki aua kainga ka kite te Romana i aua iwi e rere ana, tohu noa he tino whati i te wehi, ka arumia e te Romana, ano ka tae te iwi Romana, ki waenga repo, ka unuunuhia e te iwi iwi whenua nga arawhata, a tu kaeaea kau te Romana ka tahurihuri kau. ko te iwi whenua kua noho torohe i te hiku o te Romana, ano ka raru te Romana i te

Heoi tangi ana te patu a te iwi whenua i te Romana, i te mea e noho ana i waenga repo, kahore kau he wahi e patu ai te Romana, a he iwi taunga te iwi whenua ki te haere repo. He roa noa atu te wa, a he tini nga tau a te Romana i noho ai i taua Motu, katahi ra ano ka whai wahi te Romana ki taua iwi Maori o Ingarangi. Ano ka tae ki te tau 43, i muri iho o te whanautanga mai o Te Karaiti ki te ao nei, katahi ra ano te Romana ka mea, kia tino mahia e ratou te tikanga e noho pai ai tana iwi o Ingarangi i te Romana te ako. He nui noa atu te whawhai a aua iwi Maori ki te Romana, a he iwi toa te tangata whenua. Otiia, he iwi mohio te Romana ki te whawhai, a te iwi e rongo ana ki te tohu tohu a o ratou kai arahi i te ope taua, na reira taua iwi i kaha ai ki te whawhai. Tena ko te iwi Maori o te tangata whenua, he iwi mahi pohehe, he huaki nui tonu kahore he kai arahi i te pokai, he patu noa iho na ia ta- ngata, na ia tangata, ehara i te mea, he mea kawe a ranga a ika te ope huaki a te tangata whenua, he haere marara noa atu, patu noa atu aia, aia o ratou, a •koia ra te take i mate ai taua iwi i te Romana. Ano ika mate nga iwi tangata whenua o te taha ki te tonga o te Motu o Ingarangi i te Romana, a kua noho hunga, ara, kua noho mokai ki te Romana, ka ahu te patu a te Romana ki nga iwi o te pito o taua Motu nei, ki te Hauraro, a ko te ingoa o taua wahi i nga ra o tatou nei, ko Kotarana, ko te iwi ia o Ta Tanara Makarini ma. A ko te ingoa a te Romana i tapa ai ano taua whenua i aua ra, ko Karatonia, ka haere atu nei te Romana ki taua whenua patu ai, kia riro ai i te Romana te mana whenua, nae te mana tangata o taua wahi. Nei ra he iwi noho tana iwi i nga pari, i nga apiti, i nga toitoi o nga puke, o nga maunga o to ratou whenua, ehara hoki taua wahi i te parae, i te niania, he pari ngahere no te akau. A he iwi toa nga iwi o Karatonia. Ka haere nei te ope tana a te Homana ki reira patu ai, a he mea no taua whenua, he repo, he titohea, kahore kau he rakau, he wahi ko- hatu, a katore te Romana e kite i te kai, na reira te Romana i kore ai e whai wahi ki aua iwi. A na nga Homana i mahi nui te whenua i te moutere i Inga- rangi i pakihi ai nga repo, i tua nga ngahere, i wha- katupu nga rakau e kainga ana nga hua, a i mahi nga maara witi. A na te Honiana ano hoki i hangaa nga whare pai, nga whare karakia nao te iwi, e karakia ana ki a ratou atua ki o te Romana. A na te Romana ano hoki i hanga nga taiepa kohatu mo nga Taone e noho ai te iwi, he mea hoki i mahia ki te ahua pa, ko aua taiepa kohatu, i taiawhio katoa, a karapoti tonu nga Taone i aua taiepa kohatu. Ko te tuunga kai- puke i Towa, te Taone o te Pakeha i enei ra, e eke atu ai te Pakeha o nga ra nei ana rere atu ki Wiwi, i mahia taua wahi e te Homana hei tino pa mo a ratou kaipuke e tau ai. A ko nga tino pa a te iwi whenua ko Romana, te pa nui e noho ai te Kuini Wikitoria i enei ra. me te pa i Ioka, i Koruheta, i Rikona, he mea mahi e te Romana kia pai. A ko te pa, ko Ra- nana i aua ra, he kaainga na te iwi kaainga i waenga repo, a he wahi i tini nga whawhai a te Romana ka taea e te Romana, - a he mano o te Romana i patua e te iwi whenua, ka taea taua pa i waenga repo. Ano ka taea tana pa, ka noho tahi te iwi whenua i te Ro mana, a ka taka ki tetahi tau, ka oho te iwi kaainga i te po, ka patua te Romana e ratou, a he mano, he mano te Romana ki te takotoranga, ao ake ka tauria ano e te Romana, ka taea, katahi te Romana ka patu i te iwi whenua, a kahore he uri o te tangata kaainga i puta i taua pa, katahi ka nohoia ano e te Romana. He Taone ano na te Romana i tu i te wahi e tu nei te pa a te Ingarihi o enei ra i Hata Arapere, a kotahi pa Romana i te wahi e tu nei te pa Ingarihi o enei ra, i Paata. E hara te iwi Romana i te iwi neho mangere, he iwi ahuwhenua kite mahi, a na ratou i mahi nga ara, nga Rori nui, ki aua tini kainga, e haere pai atu ai te iwi o etahi Pa ki etahi pa. E hara i te ara kino, Rori penei me enei Rori e mahia nei e te Pakeha o enei ra, i te mea hoki i ahu mai i aua ra te mohio o te iwi Pakeha ki te mahi Rori. A i mahi tahi ano te iwi whenua i aua mahi hanga whare, me aua Rori, a i ako ano te tangata whenua ki te ngaki witi, ki te hanga whare, ki te tiri rakau e kainga ana nga hua, ara i te rakau Aporo, i te waina karepe, i te puka kapeti, i te kai o ana ra. He mea hoki i whakamania ai taua iwi Maori e te Romana. Ko te kai a aua tangata whenua i nga ra i mua atu o te Romana i tae ai ki taua Moutere, he hua no te rakau Pakeha e kiia nei he Oka, a he mea Kopiro te hua o ana rakau e te tangata whenua ki te wai, ano ka poto te kawa, te kakati te tae o taua kua, ka tu ai aua iwi ka kai ai i taua hua. A he hua rakau ano tetahi i penei me te Paramu nei, otiia he kai kakati tera, a he tini noa atu nga hua rakau o te ngahere i kainga e te tangata whenua. Koia te Homana i whakamahi ai ia ratou, i te iwi kua pourangatia nei ki te Romana ki te ngaki kai, kia kai ai te iwi tangata whenua i te kai pai, a no reira mai te mohio o te Pakeha ki aua mahi tini tini e mohio nei ki nga mea katoa o te ao. A ko nga tamariki o te tangata whenua, i akona e te Romana, kia kakahu i te kahu pera nae o te Romana kakahu. A he mea tono aua tamariki o te tangata whenua, e te Romana ki nga kura ako tamariki a te Romana, ki reira ako ai i te mohiotanga ma taua iwi Maori o te Motu o Ingarangi. A he mea ako ano etahi o te iwi Maori o te tangata whenua, e te Romana hai hoia mau patu, hei hoia ano ia mo te Epara o Romana, e hara i te hoia hei hapai i te patu e ora ai ia ratau to ratou iwi tangata whenua, engari hei hoia whawhai mo te Kingi o nga Romana. A na te Romana i rongo ai, a i ako te Ingarihi ki te karakia pono ki te Atua, he mea hoki he iwi karakia te Ingarihi, ara te tangata whenua o Ingarangi i nga atua Maori, a he tini nga atua Maori o aua tangata whenua. A na te iwi Romana i rongo ai te ao nei i te kupu tuatahi o te Karaiti, i te mea i haere atu i aua iwi Romana te ako tuatahi i te Kawanata hou o te Rongo-pai a Te Atua. A i aua ra i ako tuatahi ai te Romana i te kupu tapu a Te Atua, i pai atu etahi o taua iwi, a 1 tahuri etahi o te tangata whenua, ki te karakia i taua karakia, a ko etahi i kino atu a na era i whakakino atu ki taua karakia, i patu kohuru etahi o ratou ano o te tangata whenua, mo ta ratou tahuri atu ki te kara- kia hou a te Romana. Ano ka roa te mahi o te karakia a Te Atua. Ka pai katoa tana iwi tangata whenua ki taua karakia, a tahuri katoa ana ki taua karakia, a mau tonu te iwi o Ingarangi ki te i karakia pono ki Te Atua pono, a Moroki noa nei.

Notice by me, "by Te Hapuka, respecting the Lake Poukawa, that it shall not be Drained after my Death. The following is a law made by me, by Te Hapuku, which shall be an unalterable law for my lands at Te Hauke which have not passed through the Native Lands Court, and this law shall be a law to all future generations. Friend, the Editor of TE WANANGA, publish this my notice, to all the world, and let it go over all the world, so that all the tribes who live on these islands may see it, that is. all the Maori and European people. Let it appear in the Maori and English languages. Now this is my word : That the Poukawa Lake shall not be touched or meddled with by European or Maori, nor shall anyone dig or make a drain by which the water shall escape from the lake), and thereby cause the lake to dry up, It will not be right or just if any person whatever assume any right or authority over my lands. I have a name ; I have authority over all the lands which I own, and this portion I now hold is very small—it is Te Hauke only—so that this portion shall be left as it was in days gone by, according to Maori customs and rights. And let no Crown grant, no inves- tigation by the Native Lands Court be made or held for this land, Te Hauke, and on to Poukawa Lake, which is now held according to Maori right, so that this, my Maori Law, shall take effect on it, as such law was the law of my ancestors for ages past and even down to the days in which I, Te Hapuku, have lived. Friend, the Editor of TE WANANGA, send my law to Sir G. Grey, that he may approve of this my Maori la\\r. But I have power over my own lands. Let this notice be published each Saturday of the months of all the year 1878 This is the word of the meeting of old chiefs in support of the words of Te Hapuku, and at is true that we heard his words that not any European should meddle with or cut drains, so that the water of the Lake Poukawa could escape. and thereby drain that lake. And the reasons for bis words are these : 'This land has not been passed through the Native Lands Court, there has not been a Crown grant issued for it, and it is held by Native title, as he, Te Hapuku, is the sole holder (Crown grant) of this land, and Te Hapuku is the Native Mana of this land, and such right to this land has been that by which this land has been held from the grand- fathers who held it in ages past, and even down to us the off- spring of those ancient owners. Let not any person assume any right to ignore this Maori law, as Renata Tamakihi- kurangi has made this law steadfast on Te Hauke, as it is land at Te Hauke, which is held by Maori custom, and it includes all the land all around the margin of the Lake Poukawa. In some future time the boundaries of the land held under Maori right will be given, that is, all the Hauke lands and all around the lake, over which this Maori law shall have effect. Now. O Editor of TE WANANGA, be quick and put this notice into TE WANANGA, so that it may be seen by the Maori and European public. Let this notice be published ou each Saturday of the months in the year 1878. Enough, from all the committee which is now being held at Te Hauke. Na Te Harawira te Tatere.
