Intro to Abstracts

pp.25-26 A trading post
Advocates that rather than Maori going to townships to sell products, a trading post would allow closer, less arduous access to trade, restrict the amount of influence and time spent in townships, restrict the time spent away from the settlement and work, permit the potential to govern exchange rates, restrict antagonistic relations between Maori and Pakeha, and halt access to alcohol and its associated behaviour.
Notifies that a store is located at Orotiu, with the business hours listed.
pp.26-27 Solomon's words
Notice of a complaint from the settlers of Hokianga about the cattle that roam over their gardens because of broken and inadequate fencing, and a request for compensation by monetary reimbursement or by shooting the cattle.

Response in agreement from the Editor.
