Published every Saturday.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1878.
WE deem it our duty to inake an apology to the
Maori tribes on account of our not being able to meet
them at their various places of abode, to speak on the
subject of which TE WANANGA, and its subscribers,
would be the matters to be discussed. In consequence
of many changes which have been transpiring in
the political world we have been detained at Napier,
but so soon as we can settle many little details
relative to enlarging the WANANGA, we fully intend to
meet the tribes, according to our former intimated
intention, when we will lay before the Maori people
all that pertains to the object, support, and conduct-
ing of a newspaper, intended to give information and
instruction to the New Zealander.
In a future issue we will be able to state the time
when the tribes may expect us to meet them.
TE WHAWHAI I TE KEEPA O KURUHOPA
Kua whawhai te iwi Maori o to Keepa o Kuruhopa
kia ratou Maori ano, a he mea i haere atu te Pakeha
ki te wawao i aua iwi, ko te Pakeha i kohurutia, a ko
tenei kua tu te whawhai te whawhai a aua iwi ki te Pakeha.
I nga ra o mua i mea nga tohunga Maori o tei
tahi iwi o taua whenua ki te mea ka patua e te iwi nga
iau, me nga hoiho kia ngaro katoa ki te mate, pene-
na Te Atua e homai i te Rangi he kau, he hoiho hou,
na aua iwi e ngaro ai nga iwi Pakeha i aua Maori. A
patua ana a ratou kuri e ratou, tatari noa aua iwi kia
tukua iho he kuri ma ratou i te Rangi, ano ka mate i
te kai ka hoatu he kui e nga iwi Pakeha, a kihai aua
iwi i kai wawe i aua kai, ano ka mate mate aua iwi, a
he morehu kau nei nga mei i puta ki te ao, ka kai aua
iwi i nga kai i hoatu e te Pakeha. A he iwi whenua
nui aua iwi, ano ka ngaro te mano o aua iwi i te mate,
kahore he uri hei noho hei ngaki i ana whenua, ka
mea atu te Pakeha ki nga pori, ara ki nga iwi Maori,
na ratou i mahi he kai ma aua iwi i mate nei i te
whakatikanga ia ratou, ma taua iwi hunga, pori, kai
mahi, e noho ana whenua, a nohoia ana aua whenua
mahue i ana pononga a ana rangatira i mate ra, ano
ka tau tini, ka tupu ano he iwi ma aua iwi i mate
mate ra, kohurutia ana e ratou nga pononga e mahi ra
i aua whenua mahue, a haere atu ana te Pakeha ki te
mea atu kia pai te mahi, kia atawhai ki a ratou pono-
nga, kaua e patua noatia, a hopukanga mai aua e aua iwi
ko nga Komihana Pakeha e kohurutia ana e ana iwi,
koia nei nga take i tupu ai te whawhai i aua whenua.

He nui noa atu te umere o te iwi i Hauraki ki a Ta
Hori Kerei raua ko Te Hiana. He tino mea ta aua
iwi ki te pai me te tika o te whakahaere a Kawana
Kerei ma i te mahi Kawanatanga o nga motu nei.
NGA IKIPIANA.
E mea ana nga iwi nui, a Tiamana raua ko Ataria,

piana o enei ra ki te whakahaere tikanga Kawana ma
ratou.
NGA KAIPUKE MANUWAO O INGARANGI.
Kua kiia, e Te Kawanatanga o Ingarangi, kia mahia
nga manuawao katoa a Ingarangi, kia tu rawa, ake te

riri rawa ake te riri, kua tau tika aua kaipuke, hei tau
toko i te whawhai.
NGA PERETI I TE AWA I TANUPI.
Kua pakaru katoa nga Pereti waapu a to Ruhia i
mahi ai kia whiti ratou i te awa i Tanupi a ko tenei
e noho wehe wehe ana te ope tana a te Ruhia i tetahi
taha a taua awa i tetahi taha o taua awa.
MEIHA ATIKINA.
E ki ana te Nupepa, o Taranaki, ki te mea ka pooti
hou nga iwi o Taranaki, penei e kore te iwi e pooti
mo Meiha Atikina, ka pooti ke mo Te Poutere. Ue
mea hoki pea. he he no nga whakaaro a Te Atikina
kia Kawana Kerei ma.

pareparenga o te moana o Ruhia. He iwi noho noaiho
aua iwi o te Ruhia i aua Pa, kihai noi he aha a aua
iwi i te whawhai, a i mea taua Pakeha a Hohapa
Paha, e kore aia e patu take kore i nga iwi noho
whawhai kore a te Ruhia, a riri ana te iwi Take ki a
ia. mea atu aua aia ki nga Take, kia pupuhi taua iwi
i aua taone ki nga Take, katahi ra ano aia ka mea kia

nui o Ingarangi ki taua whakaaro a taua tangata, e

he o ona whanaunga

He uri aia no te putea o Te Wananga o nga tautawhito

THE NATIVE MINISTER.
The N.Z. Herald, in commenting on the reception
of Sir George Grey and Mr. Sheehan at the Thames,
says :—" The speech of Mr. Sheehan was an emi-
nently practical one, and, being delivered in a racy
and attractive manner, it took exceedingly well with
the audience. He has indeed every reason to be
proud of his welcome at the Thames. It was to be
expected that in any town within the provincial dis-
trict of Auckland he should meet with a cordial re-
ception. Born in the colony, educated in this city,
never out of the Province of Auckland until some five
years ago, when he went hence to Wellington to
take his seat in the Parliament of the colony, he has
achieved within a short period of time one of the
most prominent positions in the Government of the
colony. Naturally, people in Auckland who re-
member the Native Minister in his boyhood
as a clever, studious, and versatile youth,
feel gratified at the spectacle of a native of
this city reaching such a post. Mr. Sheehan
was the first New Zealander born of European
parents, who entered the Parliament of the colony ;
he is the first who has entered the ranks of the colo-
nial Ministry ; and if a wise judgment and prudent
circumspection mark his endeavors as a Minister, we
do not doubt that still higher honors are yet ia store
for him. He is steadily securing a popularity on both,
sides of the House of Representatives, the retention,
and increase of which rests largely with himself.
HE WAHINE MAORI I WHAKAMOMORI.
No te 4 o nga ra o Hanuere nei i tae ai te rongo ki
te iwi i Turanga, kua whakamomori a Mere Hoturangi.
He kupu whakapae na te taane kia aia, kua he aia ki
tetahi tangata. A na te pouri o Mere, i kai ai a Mere
i te kai e mate ai aia. Ko te iwi kihai i kite i te ma-
tenga o Mere, kitea rawatia ake kua mate noa atu. A
he mea ui ui te take o Mere i mate ai e Te Tekau ma
rua Pakeha. He mahi kuare te mahi a te tangata
whakamomori i aia.
REMARKABLE SUICIDE OF A MAORI
WOMAN.
Information was received in town yesterday of the
death of a Maori woman, living at the Big River,
named Meri Hoturangi, tinder the most extraordinary
and painful circumstances. Meri is a married woman
and has always been considered by her tribe as of
irreproachable character, although of somewhat ir-
ritable temper. Two or three days back she had some
angry words with her husband ; when under strong
excitement he accused her of being unfaithful to him.
She denied the imputation, exclaiming bitterly that
such a charge should have been made against her.
When the intensity of her grief had subsided Meri
retired to a corner of her whare where she remained
several hours without uttering a word or returning
answers to questions which, were put to her. The
next day Meri was found dead. After a short search
the cause was discovered. The woman had deter"

mined to commit suicide as, according to the custom
of her people, it would establish her innocence. She
procured a box of wax matches and having cut off the
heads containing phospherous and other deadly che-
micals, in combination, she swallowed the whole. Her
agonies must from the nature of the poison, have been
intense. But that no one should be a witness to her
sufferings she had gone beyond the sounds of ear and
there writhing in terrible torment she died. The
countenance of the deceased woman when discovered
was most horrible to look upon. The body was taken
by her friends, and notice forwarded to Mr. H. Ken-
rick, the District Coroner.—Poverty Bay Standard,
January 5.
KO NGA KORERO
MO TE WHAWHAI A
RUHIA RAUA KO TAKE.
KUA nohoia e Tianara Kouka nga Pa a Te Take i
te apiti i Parakinapati.
E kiia ana kua whati nui te Take i ta ratou Pa i
Hopia, a na ratou ano ta ratou Pa i Hopia i tabu ki
te ahi.
E ki ana te kupu utu ate Ruhia, mo te kupu tono
a Ingaranga, kia houhia ta rana rongo ko Take, e ki
ana a Ruhia, ma Take ake ano e korero kia Ruhia.
Kaua a Ingarangi e korero kia Ruhia.
Kua tino mea a Ruhia, kia kore rawa atu he kupu
a te Ingirihi mo te rongo mau a Ruhia kia Take, me
waiho ma raua a raua korero anake. A e ki ana te
Kingi o Ruhia, kia korero te Kingi o Take, ki te tino
Tumuaki o te ope whawhai a Ruhia i te whenua e
whawhai noi raua.
E mea ana te Take, me mutu ta rana whawhai
raua ko Ruhia, a ko nga Pa a te Take kua riro i te
Ruhia, a ko nga Pa a te Ruhia kia riro i te Take, me
hoki aua Pa ki te iwi na ratou aua Pa, a me mutu te
whawhai.
He nui te whawhai i Tapera a ko te Ruhia i mate
e 700 o te Ruhia i mate, a e 600 o te Take.
Kua tino karapoti te Pa o te Take i te Ruhia i
Erehuma. A e ki ana te Ruhia e kore e puhia taua
Pa ki te purepo, engari me waiho ma te mate kai e
patu taua Pa. Te mea i kore ai e puhia taua Pa he
tini no nga tangata o te Pakeha kei roto i tana Pa a he
wehi no te Ruhia kei mate ko era, ka raru aia i nga
iwi nui o te ao nei.
E ki ana a Ataria e kore aia e pai kia tautoko i te
kupu hohou rongo a Ingarangi kia Take raua ko Ruhia.
E ki ana te Kawanatanga o Ingarangi, e kore aia e
mea wawe ki te take mo te rongo mau a Taka kia
Ruhia, kia tae ra ano he kupu ma Ingarangi kia Ruhia
hei muri iho ka korero ai a Ingarangi kia Take. A e
ki ana hoki a Ingarangi e kore aia e pai kia tino mate
a Take, a e kore aia e pai ko nga korero o te hohou
rongo a Take kia Ruhia, kia mahia aua tikanga e raua
anake, engari kia pa nga iwi nui katahi ka tika.
A TA HORI KEREI TE PIRIMIA.
E ki ana te tino Nupepa o Ingarangi, a Te Taima. E
mea ana matou, kanui ano te aro pai atu o nga whakaaro
a Ta Hori Kerei, nona itu i era tau hoi Kawana mo nga
motu i Nui Tireni, a i enei tau, nana ano aia i ki hei
tangata noa nei aia; a hei mahi aia i nga mahi e ora ai te
iwi. He tangata momo ariki aia, he uri e mohiotia ana e
te iwi, a he ngakau nui nona, ki te ora mo ana iwi, i heke
ai i aia tana turanga Rangatira, ai ki ei aia, kia noho
tahi i ana iwi, hei mahi i nga ora mo te iwi. Nana ano
aia i ki hei tangata penei aia me te mano o te iwi, a kia
kiia e te iwi, koia te tahi o te iwi. A na te iwi aia i pooti
hei mema mo Te Paremata, a na tana mohio, me tana
mana whakahaere i nga mahi nui, i tu ai ano aia, hei
tino Tumuaki mo nga mahi nui katoa o nga motu o Nui
Tireni. E mea ana matou, he tangata tika rawa aia hei
mahi i nga mahi nui e ora ai te iwi i aia. He nui noa atu
ana mahi nui, i mahi ai i aia e mahi Kawana ana. He mea
hoki, koia te Kawana o Hauta Atareria, a koia te Kawana
o Nui Tireni, a koia te Kawana o Te-Kepa-o-Kuruhopa, a
he nui ana mahi i mahi ai mo nga iwi Maori o aua whenua.
A i kitea i aua whenua, tana tino mohio, me tana tino tika
ki te ako, ki te tautoko kia ora ai, a ki te whakamutu i
nga he i aue ai aua iwi Maori. A kahore he Kawana o
whenua, i kiia nuitia ona pai kia ratou o nga iwi Maori o
aua whenua, me a ratou kupu whakapai mo Kawana Kerei.
A i nga wa i muri o Kawana Kerei i haere ke
ai i aua whenua, a ka tupu te kino i aua whenua.
Na Te Kuini, ano i tono a Kawana Kerei, kia hoki ano
aia ki aua whenua, kia mahia aua he e Kawana Kerei kia
mutu. He nui noa atu tana mohio ki nga tikanga maori
ki o te maori whakaaro, ki o te maori tikanga. A he mo-
hio pu aia ki nga reo hoki o aua whenua, i tika ai mana
ano ma tana ngutu ake e korero ana kupu ki aua iwi
maori. A te wai hoki ai ia ki Ingarangi, i te wa i kiia ai
kua mutu ana mahi, a me noho noa iho aia, i kii te iwi, mau-
mau kau te tangata mohio nui, kia noho noa iho, i te mea
hoki kua tino mohio aia, ki te ako i nga tikanga mo nga
iwi e puta ai he uri ma nga iwi maori o nga whenua nei
ki te ao. He uri Ariki aia, otiia e kore pea e ata mohio te
iwi ki ana tikanga i te tuatahi i te mea hoki kua raru raru
nga mahi o Nui Tireni i te Kawanatanga tawhito, a kia
mahia aua tikanga i he nei i te Kawanatanga tawhito ka
tahi ra ano a Kawana Kerei, ka mahi i ana mahi pai me
ana mahi nui, me ana mahi tika mo nga iwi. A a ona ra
e tikatika kau ake ai nga he a te Kawanatanga tawhito,
te kite ai te iwi i nga nui mohio a Kawana Kerei. Kia
marama te rangi i poruru nei i te Kawanatanga tawhito ia
Kawana Kerei te mahi, ka whiti ai te ra e ahum ai te iwi
ia Kawana Kerei. \_\_
SIR GEORGE GREY AS PREMIER.
(London " Times.")
IT is a somewhat peculiar position which Sir George
Grey has now assumed. That an ex-Governor should
descend contentedly to the rank of a private citizen, and
should rise on his merits to the Premiership, is an incident
of politics not likely to recur very frequently. It is al-
most as if the Commander-in-chief of an army were to
quit his post and to enlist as a private soldier, and were to
be promoted subsequently to a leading staff appointment.
He would be well qualified, no doubt, for such a place,
and his holding it might be a source oi some embarrass-
ment both to those under whom he was to act and to
himself. We hopo this analogy will not hold good in the
present case. Sir George Grey's career as a Colonial
Governor has been a very remarkable one. In Western
Australia, at the Cape, and iu New Zealand, he has had to
deal with " the Native question" in many forms, and he
has always showed himself equal to the difficult task.
There has been no Governor more popular among the
Natives of the colonies he has ruled. On more than one
occasion, when Native troubles have cropped up after his
departure, he has been fixed upon almost as a matter of
course, and sent back again to quiet them. His work on
the Polynesian Mythology contains good proof, direct and

indirect, of the pains he took to fit himself for what he '
deemed the imperative duties of his Governorship. Not
lightest amongst these was a perfect acquaintance with
the language of his Native subjects. When he left New
Zealand and and settled down, finally, as it was supposed
in England, it was scarcely possible to help feeling how
great a pity it was that all his studies should have been
thrown away, or should have borne fruit only in the past.
What mark, however, he is likely to make in his new post
as Premier is another question. He comes to it with high
antecedents, but not, perhaps, with just the kind of ante-
cedents which may now be thought most necessary for it.
The administrative policy to which he stands committed
is, to say the least, an exceedingly doubtful one, and one
which the course of last year's legislation has rendered
more doubtful than ever. But Sir George Grey may,
perhaps, content himself with modifying in detail what
e will not attempt radically to alter. It is likely enough
to be some temporary back current which has carried him
into office ; and, as home experience shows us, those who
take office in such circumstances must be satisfied not to
govern, and must often keep in the back ground their
most distinctive party principles.
HE KOMIHANA I MATE I NGA MAORI O TE-KAPA-O-
KURUHOPA.
He korero enei no te tahi Nupepa o Tawahi, mo te
matenga o te Komihana Pakeha i nga iwi o Te-Kupa-o-
Kuruhopa, kanui to matou pouri, mo te matenga o Te
Pere. He mea kohuru e Mapikana, he rangatira Maori aia
e noho ana ratou i te whenua a Te Pere.
Te take o te mate a Te Pere, he mahi he na Mapikona, a
i haere a Te Pere ki te whakawa i taua Maori. He tahae
ta taua Maori i nga mea a ana hoa Maori. A i mohio a Te
Pere he tangata kino a Mapikana, a kihai a Te Pere i man
pu ma ratou ko nga hoa a Te Pere he Pirihimana i haere
ia Te Pere. He mea na Te Pere, e mohio ana aua Maori
ki aia, koia air i mea at, ma te pai o aua Maori ki aia, aia
e kore e rahua, a kaua e mau pu. A i mea aua Maori, e
kore e whakahokia nga kau i tahaetia e ratou, ki nga ta-
ngata na ratou aua kau. A kihai aua Maori, i pai kia
haere ki te whare a te Kai-Whakawa o Te Pere. A na Te
Pere te kupu ki ana Pirihimana kia hopukia a Mapikana,
ani ka kiia taua kupu, ka tu a Mapikana ki runga, ka kii
ki ana hoa, kia patua e ratou nga Pirihimana Maori, kia
kana te mea kotahi e puia hei morehu. Ka whati ana
Pirihimana Maori, a ka arumia e Ngati Wahitt, ( e taua
Hapu maori.) A ka patua haeretia aua Pirihimana e taua
Hapu. A e rue i ora, e rua i kaiakiko kau te patu, a ka
ora mai taua hunga tokowha. Ano ka tahuri atu etahi o
nga Pirihimana maori, ka kite atu atu ia Te Pere e korero
ana ki te ikai patu mona. A tu ana a To Pere, he mea
were aia i mate ai. A takoto ana aia i te whenua ko ana
hoa i mate e takoto tahi ana nga Pirihimana toko ono.
Ano ka po ka rongo te taokete a Te Pero i te mate o Te
Pere, ka mea atu aia ki etahi maori kia Ngatikawha kia
haere ratou hei hoa mona kia tikina te tupapaku ra a Te
Pere. Ano ka tae ratou ki te kainga o mapikana o Ngati-
watihi, kohore kau he tangata i reira. He mea hoki kua
whati a Mapikana ma a ko nga kau rae nga narerai i wai-
hotia iho e ratou ko ere e tangi ana i te kainga. A ka
kitea te tinana o Te Pere e taua hunga e takoto ana i taua
kainga. Ko te hoa wahine a Te Pere, i haere tahi atu i
tana taane a i teaahi kainga i ko mai o to wahi i mate ai a
Te Pere, ka noho taua wahine a i tatari kau aia kia hoki
mai tana taane, a na tana tungane a Ia i rongo ai kua
mate a Te Pere. He tangata a Te Pere e mohiotia ana e
e te tini. He mea hoki i haere atu a Te Pere i Nui
Tireni nei, a ka tekau ona tau i ngaro atu ai i nga motu
rei. He tangata e paingia ana, mo tana tika, me tana
oha ki te iwi. A ko te tangata nana rei aia i kohuru, he
marere aia mo te iwi Maori o Ngatimawahihi a i oma mai

tangata a Mapikana i taua iwi ranei, i nga iwi ke atu

MURDER OF A COMMISSIONER AT
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
THE following particulars of the murder of Mr. Bell in the
Transvaal we take from an English paper :—" One of the
most distressing circumstances that has happened for
years has just occurred in New Scotland, on the eastern
border of the Transvaal, close to Swazieland. Mr. Robert
Bell, J.P., of Cragie Lee, has been murdered by Mabekana,
a Swazie refugee and head of a small kraal, living on Mr.
Bell's farm. It appears the Commissioner went to investi-
gate the circumstances of a complaint of theft preferred
against this native. Knowing him to be a quarrelsome,
dangerous man, Mr. Bell unwisely proceeded unarmed,
and accompanied by ten native police, also unarmed, pre-
ferring to rely on his position and well-known influence
for bis safety rather than weapons. The native refused
to give up the cattle or to proceed to the magistrate's re-
sidence, whereupon Mr. Bell ordered his men to take hira
by main force. Mabekana sprang to his feet instantly,
calling to his few fellows to seize their assegais and mur-
der every one, allowing none to escape alive. Mr. Bell's
men fled, pursued by the excited Swazies. First one and
then another dropped, as he was overtaken by the deadly
assegai. Two escaped badly wounded, and two unhurt.
The last that was seen of Mr. Bell was on one knee calmly
talking, as if reasoning with his assailant. Then be stood
up defiantly, and in another moment was killed, being
stabbed through the heart. He lay on the ground dead,
and beside him six of his unarmed escort. A few hours
later, when darkness had set in, his brother-in-law, who
happened to be the first to receive the dreadful tidings,
having collected as many Kaffirs as he could at a mo-
ments notice, cautiously approached the kraal. All was
still and quiet, saving the bleating of a few goats and the
grazing of some cattle left behind in the hurried flight of
the fugitives. There lay poor Bell brutally murdered iu
the discharge of what he considered his duty.
One most painful incident in this tragedy was that his
young wife, who had accompanied him part of the way,
was awaiting her husband's return at a neighbouring
farm. Hour after hour passed, and at length impatience
gradually gave way to anxiety for his safety. Then came
the breaking to her of the terrible news; she was a
widow, and Cragie Lee was without a master. Mr. Bell
is well known in this and the neighbouring colonies. He
arrived here about ten years ago with the Scottish emi-
grants, holding a responsible position under the late
Glasgow and South African Land Company. Previous to
this he had successfully worked in New Zealand. He
was respected and loved by all, as much for his hospi-
tality and kindness as his love of justice and honesty of
purpose. Mebekana is a refugee from the Amaswazies.
Being compelled about a year and a-half ago to fly, he
was allowed to squat on Mr. Bell's farm. No one will for
a moment look upon this in any other light than that of a
cowardly murder, nor will it be doubted for an instant
that our allies and the faithful allies of the late govern-
ment—the Swazies to which this man belongs—are so
sorry for what has happened as we are. That the mur-
derer will be readily given up if caught by his own
people is certain ; but he is scarcely likely to fly to a
country from which he is an outlaw.—Telegraph.

TE WANANGA.
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 on the 8th
December, and in previous and subsequent issues.
200. Rev. Mr. Williams.'] I would like to ask Mr. Grace
what were the subject of the speeches at the meetings he
attended ?—Te Aute school was one subject of those
speeches; I took notes of all the proceedings.
201. I would ask whether Renata's speech was not an
attack on the Government because it would not recognise
what they wanted ?—They spoke on several subjects ; part
was with respect to the Native Lands Court. They said
that they would prefer that the present Judges and As-
sessors should be done away with, and that they should
manage their own lands. They also spoke of Te Aute.
202. Renata, rose and complained, that they did not
support him in anything he said ?—Renata did not say
so.
203. Did not I call your attention to the fact, that
Renata had made that complaint publicly at the meeting ?
—You did not say so. You drew my attention to the fact
that not a Native who was formerly an owner of the land
had spoken on the matter, but you did not draw my atten-
tion to the fact that Renata had complained.
204. I will simply call Mr. Grace's attention to this fact,
that not one of the owners of the land supported Renata?
—I have notes of the whole of the speeches at Napier ;
and, if required, can get them.
205. How soon can you get these notes?—I can tele-
graph for them.
206. The Chairman.'] You had better get them.
207. Rev. Mr. Williams."] Can you say positively
that this Te Aute affair was mentioned at the public
meeting ?—Yes ; I have been to three public meetings of
Maoris, and at every meeting this Te Aute matter was
brought up, and the same statement was made at every
meeting by Renata and others, that this was handed over
for school purposes and is badly managed.
208. Renata told me that he and his father were the
only person recognised ?—I don't know whether he said
that. I know he said the land was handed over for
school purposes.
209. Do you remember telling me what was the cause
of Renata's objection to the matter of Educational Trusts?
—I cannot remember telling you why he complained.
210. Are you aware that money Las been paid to
Renata for his and (Ohaoko block) ?—You told me
Renata had received £300 odd for it.
211. The first I heard of it was from Mr. Grace ?—Te
Hapuku said, and I think one or two others said, that
they used to send their children to the Te Aute school,
and they were made to work and to gather dung.
212. There was not a remark of that kind made at the
public meeting ?—Perhaps not in your presence. I know
it was said, and will swear to it. The Natives said their
children who were sent to school had a little teaching, but
most of their time was taken up in learning farming,
cutting down trees, and clearing land.
213. I would ask Mr. Grace whether he heard Mr. Rus-
sell, on the afternoon of the 8th, making complaints
before the Native chiefs as to my conduct?—I do not
know whether it was on the 8th, but I was called into a
whare, and a discussion cropped up with respect to Te
Aute. Henare Matua asked Mr. Russell a question about
the land, and Mr. Russell told them that the Europeans of
Napier were discontented and disapproved of the way in
which the land was managed.
214. I would ask Mr. Grace whether Henare Matua said
one single word at that meeting at which I was present?
—You were not present during the whole of that meeting.
I know that Henare Matua spoke on the matter. The
Natives did not break up until two days after you wero
there.
215. Was there any resolution passed upon this sub-
ject during any part of the meeting?—A resolution of
what kind?
216. Finding fault ?—I suppose it was tantamount to a
resolution. Several chiefs got up and spoke, and said
they would issue a petition. I consider a resolution was
carried, because the whole of the Natives present signed
the petition.
217. The chairman.] When the Maoris hold these
meetings what is their usual course of procedure?
After several Maoris getting up and speaking to a sub-
ject, is there nothing put to the meeting?—Generally
speaking it is this way : Several chiefs get up and speak to
one point, and, if agreeing in whatever is said, and no one
getting up afterwards to speak against it, it is considered
as a resolution carried. It is only lately, since Europeans
have shown them how to act, that they pass resolutions.
At this hapu meeting it was not called to go into any
questions of politics or otherwise.
218. Were there any resolutions passed at that meet?
ing?—Henare Matua read some resolutions, I think, of
his own. Some of these resolutions were read out and
talked over, but I do not think they were put to the vote,
219. Were the principal Natives who attended that
meeting interested in the land?—Do you mean interested
personally as owners of the land ?
220. Yes ; as holders?—They were interested in the land
in this way: It is supposed this land was set aside for
school purposes for Maori children, and therefore they
were interested.
221. With respect to tribe?—Without respect to any
particular tribe.
222. Where did the Natives belong to who were pre-
sent ?—There were a great number of Natives present, but
I could not tell you whether they were all Hawke's Bay
Natives who were present, but they were Natives inter-
ested in the Hawke's Bay district.
223. Rev. Mr. Williams.] I would like to ask Mr. Grace
whether, if any of those resolutions were read out after
the Natives had spoken to the subject, they gave their
voices for the " Ayes," or was any consent given ?—I be-
lieve there was, but am not quite certain.
224. Were you not acting as Secretary ?—Yes, and took
notes of all that was done. My notes would tell me, but
I could not well speak from memory whether such ques-
tions were put to the vote.
225. Did you not hear of Renata having complained
that he had let his land, and had only six months rent
paid him?—You told me something of the kind.
226. Are you not aware that there are two schools in
this district in which there are no scholars ?—I can say
something on that point. The Natives say they got no-
thing from Government. They built two schools, and
were told that for every pound they paid they would get
two from Government; but, they said, the money had
never been paid to them by Government. That was the)
principal reason why the school at Pakowhai broke up.
227. Did not the Natives complain that they could not
induce their children to attend these schools ?—I have not
heard so. I believe they have spoken to two persons—
one an inspector of schools, and somebody they said had
been travelling round, who promised that they should get
the money from Government in addition to the money
subscribed by themselves.
228. The Chairman.] Just tell me, as near as you can
what Renata did say at this meeting ?—Renata got up and
spoke on several occasions ; and seeing the Rev. Mr. Wil-
liams present, he said he was glad he was there and
would speak faithfully. He was not afraid of any thirty
he was going to say. He then said he was very much
dissatisfied with the management of the Te Aute estate.
The management, he said, was so bad that they would
|

TE WANANGA.
eventually take the land back and manage it themselves. I
I think he spoke about his own land, -which he had I
handed over for school purposes ; and further said he was
going to hand over that land for generations to come,
and, if the Maoris became extinct, he would let it go for
the benefit of Europeans. He has made these speeches on
several occasions, and repeated those words which are
published in the WANANGA newspaper. He said the Te
Aute estate was badly managed, and thought of getting it
back again.
229. Rev. Mr. Williams.'] Try and remember whether
Renata made any allusion whatever to the management of
tihe Te Aute estate ?—Yes, he alluded to its bad manage-
ment.
230. I am sorry to say that I am in this position : I
must put my word against that of Mr. Grace. I have
given my evidence on the subject, and do not agree with
him.—Mr. Grace."} I was present the whole time, and I
recollect very well what was said. Renata seemed to feel
on the subject, and spoke very strongly.
231. Have you made any remarks to Renata bearing on
my character, and drawing a comparison between me and
your own father ?—No ; I have not. The Natives have
said to me that they looked to you in times past, and
especially at the time of their land transactions, to direct
and advise them ; but that your advice has been bad.
They also told me that the only minister who they could
say had not done the Maoris any harm, but had been their
true friend, was my father.
232. Hon. Colonel Brett.'} Who was that?—The Rev.
Mr. Grace, my father. I never drew any comparison with
respect to Mr. Williams. Henare Matua had a conversation
with me on the subject.
233. Hon. Colonel Brett.'} I do not think this proceeding
is in accordance with the rules, for Mr. Williams to im-
proach the evidence of a witness in the way he has done.
do not think it is fair to allow it, as Mr. Grace has been
sent here, and it is our duty to protect him.
234. The Chairman} You must remember Mr. Williams
is placed in a peculiar position, the petition being against
him and the trustees.
Rev. Mr. Williams.'} I am rather a novice in these mat-
ters, and therefore retract what I said.
Mr. Grace."} There is Henare Matua in Wellington who,
if called, can give evidence which will substantiate what
I have stated.
235. Hon. Colonel Brett."} I don't know whether it is
any use asking further questions. Are you residing here
just now ?—I was intending to return on Sunday to
Hawke's Bay, but the summons to appear here detained
nae.
Hon. Colonel Brett] I think it would be advisable not
to go away for a day or two.
(The evidence of Henare Matua, taken before the Com-
mittee previously was then read.)
236. The Chairman.} I will call Henare Matua tomor-
row, and you can attend.

Nga mahi ma te Komiti ko nga hara e kore e taea e nga

Utaina atu e koe a matou korero ki runga ki to tatou waka,
ara, kia TE WANANGA. ka utaiaa e koe, ki tetahi niao he
Maori, ki tetehi Niao, he Pakeha, kia rite ai te hoe a nga
Kanohi, i tana papa, i tana papa. Whakarongo e nga taringa
o nga tangata o te motu nei. Ko te mahi a nga tangata o
tenei Porowini o Poneke, ara, o te tae ha ki te Tonga o tera,
ara, ki Kapiti, he nganga re tonu ki nga whenua. A taea ana
te huhe, ka nui haere te raruraru, e pa mai ana ki te iwi.
Raukawa, ka Kimihia he ritenga e ora ai e nei iwi. Ka kitea
me kooti katahi ka kuhu atu ki tera mahi, ki te kooti whakawa
whenua Maori. Hua noa kei reira te whenua raua ko te
tangata te ora ai, kaore he kokoti tonu iho ta te kooti kia
motu, ka nui te mohio o te kooti i omu mai nei i Warekauri,
ki te tapa i a ia ki to raua ingoa, kia kino tahi ai raua.
I te tau 1873 ka tu te kooti ki Pokitana Manawatu, ko te
ritenga o te ture a taua kooti i taua tau. He mea kowhiti
nga tangata mo roto i te tuhinga ki te rarangi ingoa, E kiia
ana i reira, he karauna karati tera. I penei hoki te korero a
te kahite. Ka oti te whakawa, ka puta te Karauna karati ki
te tangata e kitea e te kooti, kua tika ia, kaore, he rupahu
noa iho, kaore hoki i tuku mai nga Karauna Karati ki to
tangata tika, katahi ka tangohia, kotahi te tangata o tenei
hapu, o tenei hapu, ki roto ki nga Karauna Karati. Koia
tenei, kotahi Poraka, kotahi tekau nga tangata ki roto, waiho
noake te nuinga o nga tangata o te Hapu i waho. Katahi
ka tuturu ki te mate rawa atu. Kihai matou i tuku atu i o
matou whenua kia whakawakia e te kooti, kia tika matou me
hoko te whenua, engari, kia tika matou, kia mutu ai te nga-
ngare te tautohe tohe, me te raruraru, na te Kawanatanga i
hao mai, mona te whenua, na konei. Ka purutia, atu nga
Karauna Karati, ka tukua mai he Komihana, hei wahawaha
tonu i te Awheteki, e ki tonu ana a roto i te Koura, i te Hiri-
woa, i te pukapuka noti. Ko tana mahi he haere tu tonu,
Kia tutaki noake i nga tangata tika hei tuhatuhanga mana i
nga kai o roto i tana kete e pikau tonu ra. Hei aha mana te
nuinga o tera hapu, o tera hapu, he korure noake, pihongi
tonu i te Kakara o te tangata tika. Tenei ano tetahi mahi
kino a te Koneiha, hei tuhituhi i tana pukapuka, nana ano
nga korero, ka tango te tangata i tana moni, kaore e panuitia
mai ana korero, engari ka tuhia o te Komihana ana kupu ki
mua i te ingoa, kia mohiotia ai, na taua tangata aua kupu,
kaore ira he rupahu. Tenei te kupu (1) Ko to matou whenua ko
kaihinu tona ingoa kei roto i te papa whenua, a Kukutauaki,
ki Tuwhakatupua, Manawatu. Ko tetehi pito a Tararua, ko
te pito ki te Marangai Rawhiti. Kaihinu Poraka (2) ona eke
ki te raina koea, e 66.200 eka, nga Poraka, e, 5, nga tangata
kei roto i ana Poraka, e. 5, e, 50, nga hapu kei roto i tenei
whenua, e (3) Ko Ngatiwhakatere, Raukawa, Ngatipikiahu,
Raukawa, Ngaitutaiaroa, Rangitaane. Te maha o nga
tangata kei roto i tenei whenua, e, 250, tera atu ano. (3)
Tenei whenua hei hoko tetehi taha, he pupuru tetehi taha, ta
matou utu mo te eka e 3 pauna mo tetehi wahi, e, 2, pauna
mo tetehi, ta matou mahara, me ata whakariterite e
matou ko te Komihana. Karite te rohe mote hoko.
Ka rite te utu mo te eka, katehi ka kiia, ka
hokona tenei whenua kaore ano i tao noa ki te
tutukitanga o a matou nei whakaaro, ka ruia noatia mai
o te Komihana ana moni ki runga ki nga mahunga o te 50
tangata, hei punga i tenei whenua, kia taumaha ai, hei whaka-
raruraru hoki i a matou nei whakaaro kia kapi ai, 4. Ka
rangonga te kino o tenei mahi e o matou hoa e 200 tangata i
waho i nga Karauna Karati, kariri rawa, whakatungia na te
Komiti, 5, 1 a Oketopa 5, 1877. Ka tonoa e te 200 tangata
nga ingoa o te 50, kia tukua ki nga iwi e toru e 200, kia mana
tahi, whakaaetia ana e te 30. Tuhituhia ana nga ingoa,
Taputia iho, i ki atu ano matou kia Putu, kaua e tukua ana
moni ki te tangata, kia rite te rohe, kia rite he utu mo te eka,
ka tuku ai. aua utu. kaore e rango. I a Hepetema 11, 1877.
Ka tu ano te Komiti a te iwi nui tonu, ka tae mai a Putu raua
ko tona teina ka Putu Paraoa, ka kiia atu e te iwi nui tonu
kua mutu te ingoa hoko ki runga ki tenei whenua ki Kaihinui,
ka mea a Putu, kei whea he utu mo ana moni, ka kautetia
nga moni ka kitea e £971 36. Katahi ka hoatu e matou te
whenua hei utu mo aua moni kotahi mono eka, e 3 pauna mo
te eka. Heoi ano, ka ki mai a Putu, me whakatareroa tenei
whenua, ki te takiwa o te rangi o te whenua, ka mea atu
matou heoti ra kua mutu 5, kua unuhia e matou to matou
whenua. Kei waho i te hoko a te Kawanatanga, hei whenua
tuturu tenei mo matou, me a matou Tamariki, me a matou

ki tenei whenua kei raruraru matou, he Ture kaha to te

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA
Salutations to you. Friend, put this notice into your news
paper, so that our thoughts may be known. These are ou-
thoughts. We honor the Queen (or express our loyalty to our
sovereign), and express our approbation of Sir George Grey,
and to his Government, and to his colleagues in the Parlia-
ment. And we know that his Government will give their
utmost consideration to those matters by which (to lighten)
the yoke which has been laid ou the Maori people, and (his
Government) will also use their best endeavors to lay down
some line of policy by which quiet peace and plenty may be
conveyed to both races who inhabit New Zealand. Hence.
we wish to inform all the world, that we (the tribes of Ngati-
kahungunu) will support and uphold the Government of Sir
George Grey.
We also wish to give utterance to the following words,
which is to remind all the officers of the late Government,
including also any who may be officers of the present Go-
vernment, that all said officers refrain from coming to our
settlements, or district, to speak to us on any matter, whether
of great, or little importance, because we have been ruined by
the work of those men. If such officers do persist in coming
into our districts, we will cause them to depart in a manner
disagreeable to themselves. Now (let such officers) take notice
that we have spoken our words, and we will not act in any
other way than wo have (herein) stated. We have fully con-
sidered, and carefully pondered over all these matters. All
the people who may come to us in accordance with our
approval, will be the men of this Government and their new
officers, who may not have been in the employ of the late
Government.
All the above was agreed to by us at a meeting at the
Waiohiki on the night of the 15th of this month (December).
1877.
This, therefore, is from us from all the tribes of Ngati-
kahungunu, whose names are signed hereunder. But there is
one word move (we wish to give expression to). Let the
tribes of these islands approve the following or not. Let your
work be in accordance with ours, so that we may act as one
and have but one thought, so that we may escape from the
deceit and duplicity which now envelops us all.
