Secretary, left Auckland in the war
steamer "Pelorus," and arrived at

Natives  presented an Address, and
made  several speeches of welcome,
and  His Excellency, in reply, gave
the outline of the system of Govern
ment he intended to introduce among
them, and which was received with
marks  of  great satisfaction. The
system for the government of the
Maories was printed in the Messen-
ger for December 16, 1861.
  On Thursday morning, His Excel-
lency and  party proceeded in  the
boats  of the Pelorus to Kerikeri,
where a large gathering of Natives
waited him, and where he again ex-
plained his purposed plans. Thence,
after luncheon had been partaken of
at the houses of the European resi-
 dents, the party proceeded towards
 the Waimate.  They  were escorted
 by about 200 Native horsemen, and
 when near that place they were met
 by 200 more riding in military order
and with the Union Jack flying, and
great were the cheers which re
sounded on every side. The Gover
nor proceeded to the residence of
George Clarke, senr., Esq., where
he remained for the night.
On Friday, the 8th, a large meet
ing was held at Mr Clarkes place,
when the Governor again explained
his plans to the people, and listened
to their replies; after which His
Excellency and suite rode out to
inspect the Government land in that
district, and to visit the Ohaiawai,
one of the pas of our faithful ally,
Tamati Waaka Nehe.
On Saturday morning the 
party proceeded on horseback to
Hokianga, when, on one of the tri-
butary creeks of that river, they
were met by J. Webster, Esq., and
a large number of boats manned by
crews of Maories and Half-castes.
Then they proceeded to Mr. Web-
sters residence at the Kohukohu

where His Excellency's arrival was
 announced by salute from the big
 guns and smaller arms.  The fol-
 lowing day, being Sunday; was spent
in quiet repose; The great meeting
had been fixed for Monday, but it
 proved wet and stormy.
   On the Tuesday  morning, the
 12th, His Excellency proceeded to
Taweni (Herd's Point). At  this
 place about 1,500 Natives were as-
sembled, and on the Governor's boat
approaching the shore they  were
welcomed  by the execution of the
  Maori war dance.  His  Excellency
 having landed, spent some time in
 visiting the Natives who  were sat
 about and feasting, after which they
 assembled for discussion. Very full
 explanations were  given  by  His
 Excellency, and towards sunset the
 meeting broke up, and the Governor
 retired to the Kohukohu  for the
 night.  On  the Wednesday  they
 returned to Kororareka, where they
 slept on board the Pelorus.  The
 following morning, at daybreak, the
 anchor was weighed, and the steamer
 reached Auckland on the same day,
 i.e., on the 14th.
  The  Native speeches delivered at
 Kororareka and te Keri Keri will be
 found elsewhere; and those of the
 Waimate and Hokianga will appear
 shortly.

sioner for the Native District of the Bay of
Islands.

 VISIT OF  HIS EXCELLENCY, SIR
GEORGE GREY, TO LOWER WAIKATO.

  On Monday  morning, the 9th of Decem-
ber, His Excellency and party started from
Auckland, and reached Papakura by dinner
time; after which they proceeded on to the
Mauku,  where the Governor and bis party
 were entertained at the residence of Major
Speedy, the Resident Magistrate. On Tues-
day the party went forward to Waiuku, and
 were met on reaching the village by F. D.
 Fenton, Esq., and H. Halse, R.M., together
 with a large concourse of  Natives and
 Europeans, who greeted His Excellency
 back again to New  Zealand with a  most
 cordial welcome, and conducted him to a
 large lent erected for the occasion, where
about 150 Europeans and Maories sat down
 together to a substantial repast. This being
 ended, His Excellency addressed the assem-
 bly, and replies were given by  Ahipene,
 Hori Tauroa, Paora, Maehe, Pataea; Ihaia,
 Rapata, Tipene, Aperahama,  Paroa, and
 Te Kohi.  The settlers of Waiuku also pre-
 sented a congratulatory Address, which was
 graciously responded to by the Governor.
   Oh Wednesday, the 11th, His Excellency
 rode oat, with several of  his suite, visiting
 the settlers and inspecting their cultivations,
 and he was highly gratified with the progress
 which had been made  during his absence
 from New Zealand.
   On Thursday, the 12th, the Governor and
 his party went on to Kohanga, the Mission-
 ary station of the Rev. Archdeacon Maunsell.
 They went by the Awaroa, in a large war
 canoe, which  the Ngatitipas had sent for
 their conveyance. On reaching the landing
 place, all the Natives were found awaiting
ritenga o taua " Ture whakatakoto Tikanga
ki nga Takiwa Maori; 1858."        
  A ka mea ano a te Kawana kia mana tenei
whakaritenga  no te ra i tuhituhia nei.

His  Excellency's arrival; the way  to the
settlement being lined by men on one side,
and  women and  school children on  the
other, and great indeed was the manifestation
of joy at the return of their former Parent.
On the evening of the same day, an interview
with the Governor was obtained by some of
the Chiefs.
  On  the 13th and 14th, the weather was
wet  and boisterous; but on the 16th, the
great. meeting was held  at Taupari,  the
kainga of Waata Kukutai.  About   700
Natives were present, some of whom repre-
sented the Maori King party and the Upper
Waikato.  The Governor  explained to the
meeting assembled the line of policy which
it was proposed to pursue towards the Na-
tives, and  the  exposition was  listened to
with silent  attention.  At 2  o'clock, the
assembly  broke up, for dinner, and at 3
o'clock they met together again.  The Na
tives spoke freely to Sir George Grey, de-
clared that they approved of his policy, and
considered him as their friend by whom the
 sad afflictions of the land might be healed.
 The Waikatos said they could make no
 promise for their own people, but they would
 return and  report all that they had seen
and heard.
   On the 17th there was another meeting;
 those assembled were representatives of five
 tribes; Ngatitipa, Ngatiteata, Ngatitahinga,
 Ngatimahanga, and Ngatipou.  The place
 was  a large Native building erected, we
 believe, for the purpose. Above  His Ex-
 cellency's seat was fixed an image of full
 length carved in wood, the tattooing exqui-
 sitely performed;  feathers of the  pigeon
 ingeniously put together  representing the
 hair; the feathers of the Huia, so highly
 prized by the Maori, were  used as orna-
 ments; the body of the figure was covered
 with a Native man of the finest texture, and
 a stone axe of great antiquity hung by its
 hand.
   Again,  Sir George  Grey  slated to the
 meeting the things that be proposed to do.
 He was  answered by the Natives, one by
 one, each individual expressing his loyally
 to the Queen, and his attachment to her
 Representative, the Governor.  When  all
 bad thus spoken, Waata Kukutai stood up
 and, pointing to the figure which we have
 above described, said,  "Governor  Grey,
 that is our  ancestor. We   all, these five
 tribes, lake our origin from him; he is our
 mana, he is our ancestor; we give him to
 you, we give you also his mat and his
 battle axe;  we cannot give you more."

tamariki o te Tuihana. Nui  rawa atu to
ratou koa, no te mea kua hoki mai ano to
ratoa Matua-Tupu.   I te ahiahi ka korero
etahi o nga Rangatira ki a te Kawana.


  I te 13 me te 14 he ua tonu te hanga:
otira i te 16 ka turia te korero nui i Taupari

taha Maori o Waikato ki Runga. Korerotia
ana e te Kawana ana tikanga hei mahi mana
 ki te iwi Maori; a ata whakarangona mari-
retia ana e ratou ana kupu. No te 2 o nga
 haora, ka kai ratou: no te 3 ka turia ano te
 korero. I horahia nuitia mai a ratou kupu
 kia Kawana Kerei: e mea ana ratou e wha-
kapai ana ratou ki ana Ukanga, a ko ia to
ratou tino Hoa, mana e mahua ai nga he o
te whenua nei. Ka mea mai nga tangata o
Waikato  kahore he kupu ma ratou, mo te
 iwi: engari, me  hoki ratou  ki o  ratou
 kainga, ki reira korero ai i nga mea katoa
i kite ai, i rongo ai ratou.


   I te 17 o nga ra, ka turia ano tetahi ko-
 rero : na Ngatitipa, Ngatiteata, Ngatitahi-
 nga, Ngatimahanga me Ngatipou taua but.
 I turia ki roto ki te whare nui i hanga e
 Ngatitipa hei pera. I runga ake o te noho-
anga o te Kawana i noho ai he whakapako-
 ko ahua tangaia, he mea ta ki te moko, he
 mea puhi te mahunga ki te huru kereru, me
 nga huruhuru huia ano: he mea takai te ti
 nana o taua tiki ki te kaitaka, me te mere
 Okewa ki te ringa.

  Ka korero ano a te Kawana i konei ko
 ana Ukanga mo  nga tangata Maori. Ka
 whakatika, tataki kotahi tonu te tangata o
 aua hapu; a he kupu whakamana tonu a
 ratou i nga Ture u te Kuini, a e rongo tonu
 ta ratou i a te Kawana e ako ai. Na, ka oti
 nga korero katoa, ka whakauka a Waata
 Kukutai, ka tohu tana ringaringa ki taua
 whakapakoko, ka mea, "E Kawana Kerei,
 to matou tupuna  tena, ko ia te take mai o
 matou e noho nei, ko ia to matou mana; he
 tupuna ia no matou, a ka hoatu nei ki a koe,
 me tona kakahu, me tona patu. Kahore o
 muri atu." Ka mea a te Kawana, " Ae, ki
 au ta koutou Tupuna,—maku e tiaki."

           TE KARERE MAORI OR MAORI MESSENGER.
 The Governor said, "I accept him, and 
 will keep your ancestor with me."        
   On  the evening of the !7th, forty young 
 men  were selected to take the Governor up 
 to Mangatawhiri, and in the early morning
 the parly started in two large canoes, that
 one in which His Excellency sat being dis-
 tinguished by carrying the flag of TIPA, the
 "ancestor" of the tribes, whose image
 figured in the ceremony of the previous day.
 From Mangatawhiri the Governor came into
 Town  by the Great South Road.
   THE GOVERNOR'S CHRISTMAS AT
            WA1UKU.

    At Pokeno, near Havelock on the Waikato,
 there was to have been  a large Christmas
  feast at which it was expected  that 600
  Natives would be present, and at which the
  Upper Waikato would be largely represented.
  Of the occurrences at Pokeno, we have as
  yet received no intelligence; but of what
  transpired at the meeting of Ngatiteata at
  Waiuku, we are able to place a sketch before
  our readers.
    The Christmas feast on this occasion was
  provided for the Natives by the liberality of
  Mr. Constable, of Waiuku; the Governor,
  Sir George Grey, was  present; about one
  hundred and twenty Natives sat down  to
  dinner.   The air of the assembly was per-
  fectly orderly, and the appearance  of the
  Maori  guests thoroughly  respectable,  the
  women  and  children, in particular, being
  unusually neat and clean.
     When  the serious business of enjoying the
  creature comforts provided in such liberal
  profusion was ended, the people assembled
   in public meeting.  Then  the  following
  address to the Governor was presented and
  read:—
              Waiuku, December 25th, 1861.
   FATHER THE GOVERNOR,—                 
     Salutations to you. You   have arrived in
   Waiuku.  You  have given heed to our word,
   and now we will listen to your word. Whatever
   you wish done we will do; for it is food that has
   been given up to be eaten. Let us consider the
   matter.  " Although  scanty it is the scantiness
   of food given by Mu:   there is  abundance
   behind.  Although  bad, it is bad in the presence
  of Taiawa," that is, those things which you have
   given to us, namely, Magistrates and Runanga
   for the employment of Ngatiteata.
        From your loving children,
                            THE NGATITEATA.

      After this ceremony bad concluded, the
   Governor  met the Chiefs of the tribe for the
   purpose  or making  with them  the final

Kawana  ma  i Mangatawhiri, a tae tonu

 TE KAWANA  KIRIHIMETE I WAIUKU
 
   I meinga e te korero,, ko Pokeno i Wai-
 kato te huinga a nga rau e ono (600) o te
 tangata Maori, ki te kai Kirihimete i reira:
 a i meinga e tae mai ano etahi o te taha ki
 runga o Waikato    Kahore ano matou i
 rongo ki nga korero o  taua hui; otira, ko
 nga korero o Ngatiteata o Waiuku koia
 tenei.
   Ko te Kirihimete ma nga tangaia Maori i
 reira, na te Katipa (Pakeha) i taka nga kai, a
 i tae a Kawana Kerei ki taua hakari. Ko-
 tahi pea rau e rua tekau (120) i kainga ai taua
 kai.  1 hu marire pu ano te noho o taua iwi
 ki tana kai, e rawe ano hoki to te wahine
 me  te tamariki ki te pai mai o te kakahu,
  me te ma o te kiri.
 Oti kau ano nga mahi mo Tamaroto, ka

  Pirihongo:  Welcome,  welcome, your
coming formerly was during a time of strife,
and when you returned you returned in
peace; and now you have returned because
there is war again, this is why  you are
again seen.  Friend, this was Heke's song,
 Not a threat to strike escaped my lips,"
  Heke's reason for reciting that song
 was that you might know that the men
 should live. You have seen the errors, you
 are a man who knows how to act, and you
 will deal with those evils. You are an
 adept at that work. You made an oath
 with Kawiti that the men should live, and
 when you  saw Heke at the Waimate you
 sealed those words, and your words are held
 true by us. Here we  are, and there is our
 token, the flagstaff standing there at Maiki,
 there it stands, O Governor!  Unloose the
 sin of the world; you unbind them all and
 give us all those benefits which God has
 bestowed upon man.  This is all I have to
 say to you.
    Maihi Kawiti read the following letter to
 the Governor:—
                Waiomio,
                   November, 1861.
    Friend, Governor  Grey,—Salutations to
 you!  When   the Gospel came the men
  lived,: your laws were all explained, he
  withheld  not any  of  the  things which
  he had heard from  his  father, he be-
 stowed  them  upon all, small and great.
  Afterwards Governor Hobson arrived, and
  then there were two  good things in this
  island,—hence  the Treaty  of  Waitangi;
  Here were two peace makings. The Pake-
  has took hold of the Gospel, and it fell in
  the midst of the right and the wrong. Here:
  were two peace makings both brown down.
  Heke afterwards took the flagstaff. Gover-
  nor Fitzroy came and then Heke laid hold of
  the flag, the treaty, and the Pakeha : these
  three, things fell in the midst of the right
  and the wrong.  When you heard that the
  Maoris were fighting with the Pakehas the
  Queen sent you here, saying, "Go to New
  Zealand and make  peace, I have regard for
   the people left  to me by my father.". Then
   you came and made peace; afterwards Kawiti
  went to Auckland where you made an oath
   to Kawiti, and Kawiti made an oath to you.
You went away with Kawiti's oath and
Kawiti remained with your word. Kawiti
afterwards departed for the other world
taku kupu tenei ki a koe, mau ahau e ata-
whai, ara me tuku  mai tetahi mahi o te 
Kawanatanga, me tetahi taone hei hoa noho
tahi. Heoi ano  aku  kupu ki a koe.  E

Kia ora tonu koe: ma te Atua koe e tiaki,

  Pirihongo: Haere  mai, haere mai.  I to
taenga mai i mua, he wa no te whawhai, a
 hoki ana koe i roto i te pai. A ko koe ano
tena kua hoki mai: na temea, kua tu ano
 te whawhai, koe i kitea mai ai. E hoa, ko
 te waiata tenei a Heke.—"Kaore te kii patu
 te makere i te ngutu, &c., &c." Te take
 waiatatia ai taua waiata e Heke, he mea kia
 mohio ai koe, ko te tangata kia ora. Kua
 kite koe i nga he, a be tangaia mohio koe ki
 te mahi, a ka mahia i a koe aua kino. He
 kaiaka koe ki tena mahi. I oati korua ko
 Kawiti: ko ta korua  oati tenei, kia ora te
 tangaia : a i ta korua kitenga ko Heke i a
 korua i te Waimate, hiritia ana e korua au
 kupu, a e pono ana i a matou a koutou kupu-
 Ko matou tenei, e tu mai ra ta matou tohu,
 ko te Kara e tu mai ra i Maiki, e tu mai ra.
 E Kawana, wetekia nga hara o te ao : mau
 e wewete katoa: homai e koe nga painga
 katoa i tukua mai e te Ama mo te tangata.
 Heoiano aku kupu ki a koe.
   Maihi Kawiti: He pukapuka tana i korero
 ai kia Te Kawana: —

  iho  aua  ture, oti katoa:  ko nga  mea
 a tona Mania i rongo ai ia, kihai i puritia te-
  tahi e ia; engari, i tukua katoatia e ia ki te -
  iti,, ki te rahi. Muri iho, ka whiti mai, ko
  Kawana Hopiona; ka rua whakapainga ki

with  his oath  still kept.  We   saw  the
benefits which you had bestowed upon us,
and we re-erected the flagstaff at Maiki, and 
Kawiti's oath was still kept. This flag was 
to unite the Pakeha and the Maori under the
laws of England  because of Kawiti's oath,
and  £109  8s. 5d. was paid for work and 
material  for the  flagstaff; we  ourselves
found the spar, the ropes, and the money, 
and when we had completed if we handed 
it over to Governor Browne. This also was 
because of  Kawiti's oath.  After that we
gave up  a piece of land as a cloth for the
flag to lie upon : that piece was given to the
Queen  and to her runanga to make right the
flag. This is to let you know what we said
to Governor Browne, but that Governor did
not approve  of refunding the money, the
 £109  which we  paid  for the flagstaff.
 Enough.

     Wi.Tete: My   words are the same as
Tamati's. l am  an orphan. Agree to give
us Pakehas and Chiefs to carry out the law.
What chiefly gladdens the  hearts of this
meeting is, your coming  here  to set this
 land to rights. Give us Europeans, give us
Pakeha Magistrates, give us what  is right
that the men may live through you. These
are all the words of your friend. There is
one more  word  that I wish to say, I will
throw it out and you  can look at it. Do
not think about that King, he is not a King
 for alI this Island.
   Tawatawa. When  I die, let me die
doing what is right.  Give us Pakehas  for
our places, we have no  men.  There is
 plenty of talk in the world is there not any
 at this place or that? "I am  a crab for
 the cormorant.  I say therefore give me
 some protectors for all the places. If you
 say that we are to see you only and that then
 you  will return, well and good, that is for
 you to say.
   Renata Pukututu : The  whole day has
 been consumed in talking. I am at a loss
 what to say, as every subject has been ex-
 hausted by the Chiefs. Let us speak a word
 to the Governor to put down that King as
 we are not in favour of that king. Wel-
 come Governor, we are living in peace. If
 the Governor does not approve of our words,
 nevertheless let us speak  to his face, and
 labour words before the stranger. If you
 are good, O Governor, to appoint some of
 us as Magistrates we consent. We consent
 to your elevating some among us to carry
 out the laws; it will be for you to agree to
 this.  This is all that I shall say.
   Tamati Waaka  Nehe:  Say. all that you
 have to say, why be reluctant to speak the
 words  which  will be life to the people?
 Don't sit silent. { Song.}
   It is good to talk; it is good  to finish
 what he have to say, I say therefore speak,
 whether the words be  good  or evil. This
 is what I have for pulling down the Maori
 King; the flagstaff standing there. I said,
 perhaps  the people will be going  to take
 part in that thing at the South, shall I be
 able to  restrain them ?   I therefore said,
 erect the flagstaff. Kawiti said, you erect it.
 1 said I shall not set up what you  killed,
 (your  dead body, set it up  yourself.  I
 shall not  collect money  for that  King,
 although you all may say  do not speak."
 Do not suppose  O Governor. that l am
 going  to retract what I said to you. Ka-
 witi said to you,  "I supposed  when I
 fought with you that you would have been
 strong;  as it was, it was (the loss of) my son
o Kawiti o Heke, koia tena hei ora mo te

koe ki etahi Pakeha ma matou, me whakaae
koe ki nga Rangatira hei mahi i te ture. Ko
te mea ia hei tino whakapai i te ngakau o te

 nga, kahore, he tangata. Kei te ao nga ko
 rero e putaputa ana, me kawe hoki etahi
korero ki hea, ki hea, "He papaka ahau na

 he kai tiaki mo nga wahi katoa. Nau ka
 mea ko koe anake te mea kia kitea e matou,
ka hoki ai koe, e pai ana, nau tena.
  Renata Pukututu: Kua poto te ra nei i te

 kua pau te korero nga korero e nga Ranga
 tira. Me puaki he kupu ma tatou kia Kawa-
 na ki tena kingi kia tukua ki raro, kahore a

 Kawana, e noho rangimarire ana matou.
 Ki te kore a Kawana e pai ki a tatou kupu,
 ahakoa, kia kii atu tatou ki tana kanohi, kia
 tukua te kupu ki raro, " ki te aroaro o Taia-

 matou kia moiri tetahi o matou i a koe ki te

Hohepa Te Paki: Welcome O Governor.
My land has been taken by Mr Bell, it was

Wi Puauake: Welcome Governor, wel
come. No words need be spoken as we are
now under one law, and I therefore say,
let us be united.
Puaiati: Welcome to your own people,
for you saw our fathers and they experienced
your kindness. I have your word, your
work was taken to the South. Come upon
the path of love and peace. The work of
the Waikatos is child's play. The Ngapuhi
have no relish for that new thing. There
was no king in this island in former times.
The name of King is your property; in my
opinion that is a robbery on the part of the
Maories.
   Manu Rewa: Formerly you were mine;
you afterwards went from place to place,
and acted well. Look at that thing of mine
standing there, the flag at Maiki; it does
not flap about: what faults it has are its
own. You have heard that I had the
money. I was not to blame. I did ask
for it. I asked, "What is it for?" the reply
was, To purchase powder. What was I to
do, leave my money to buy rum with? I
have no love for my daughter, all my love
is for my powder. My name shall not be
mixed up with Waikato; my word shall
reach there - my love for Potatau and Kati.
I am not going on any fighting errand, no,
I shall return again to my place. If you
say that I am to stay, I shall stay - I am an
obedient man, nor will I conceal my inten
tions of going to this place or to that.
Potatau has paid two visits here, and I have
been to the South and visited my grandchild.

SPEECHES  OF MAORI CHIEFS TO GOVERNOR GREY AT THE KERIKERI.

 Wi  Hau:  Welcome,  Governor Grey,
  Father, welcome.   Let this letter be read
before  the Governor and  the meeting, so
  that we may all bear it.

            Bay of Islands, Nov. I, 1861.
Sir, Governor Grey,—
  Salutations  to you Father.  Welcome
  back to your children whom you left; we
 and you are well through the grace of God
 and through the kind acts of the Queen to
  the Maori people. Come and view the land
  which you  left in prosperity. We are re-
  siding here and listening to the works that
  are being done in the world.
 Father, the Governor, welcome.    The
  Ngapuhi people have nothing to say to you
  except to bid you welcome: we are every-
  where living in quiet, but we have not yet
 Required a knowledge of the many hidden
 things (things difficult to understand,) in the
  Pakeha system.  It  will be well for you to
  look to this people, the Ngapuhi, to your
 old friends, and to your Pakeha  children
  residing here.  Respect the word of your
  friend Governor Browne, and carry it out
  now at once.  Do not delay O Governor to
establish a town here: the land has been 
  surveyed, and we are only waiting for the
  word.  Give  us Pakehas; give us wealth;
  give us employment, and let the kind law of
  the Queen unite the two races. Welcome
  O father to your land to your people the
  Ngapuhi, and to your Pakeha children.
    Here end our words of respect and wel-
  come.
       From  us, the Chiefs of the Ngapuhi.

       Letter read by Tamati Huingariri.
                    November 7, 1861.
  Friend the Governor.--
  Salutations  to you.  Welcome  in the
  love of God and of the Queen to us who are
  living here in ignorance as to the cause of
  your coming   Enough, this is our word to
  you; establish a town at the Kerikeri, for a

is fixed for ever; be true. Enough

  Mitai Penetana: Welcome O Governor,
come  and see these people of yours that you
left. I will now speak to you but do not
be angry at my words. In purchasing land
formerly it was not paid for by the acre, it
was bought by the piece, and the payment
was   fish hooks,  pots, knives, and such
things, this was the payment given for a
great piece of land in former times. Herein
was  the unfairness, for we were ignorant.
The  Gospel was first introduced, and then
 land purchasing was carried on. I will tell
you the work of the British resident formerly.
Mr.  Busby came  and then the Treaty of
 Waitangi was made  to save us. 1 do not
 consider that there was any harm in that
 Treaty, if there was I would name it. My
 parents resided at Okura, and were lost at
 sea: Piakau (a European) was also lost at
 sea, and then Mr. Busby purchased that land.
 It was not land that had been sold to Piakau,
 he was merely a squatter there, and now let
 the face of the Treaty be washed clean. I
 will now speak about Mr. Clarke. I do not
 consent to Mr. Clarke's appointment, let Mr.
 Clendon be our Magistrate.
  Whare: Welcome O Governor to your
 children: l am willing that my words should
 go with the Government. Gome and be ray
 friend to shew me kindness; what I approve
 of is to live under the Government as with
 my parent.
   Wiremu  Kingi:  Come  and see these
 children of yours: these children are yours,
 my word will not take another  direction.
 Hearken; this was what was meant by the
 word  which  you left with us.  I replied
 yes, perhaps. Your  words are upon what
 is good.   My  word  will not deviate, it is
 what I spoke to you ia Auckland.
  'Waikato: Welcome, welcome good, wel
 come the Queen.  I will not set up a report
 of evil, nevertheless my word to you is a bad
 word.   My  place alone was  not tried by
 Mr. Clendon as my children obey my words
 My years in the world will not be many
 I shall not go to war for I am an old man
 I do not approve of Mr. Clarke being made
 a Civil Commissioner.

Ehoa, e te Kawana,—
  Tena ra ko koe. Haere mai i runga i te
aroha a te Atua, o te Kuini, ki a matou e
noho nei i runga i te matauranga kore, ki te
putake i haere mai ai koe.   Heoi, ko ta
matou kupu tenei ki a koe kia whakanohoia
te Taone ki  te Keri Keri, na te mea hoki
kua  oti te rari i runga i te aetanga a
Kawana  Paraone ki taua kupu a matou nei.
He kupu  tuturu tenei na matou ki a koe, ake

 Ka korero ahau ki a koe aianei; kei riri koe
 ki aku kupu. Ko te boko o te whenua i
 mua, e hara i te mea utu a eka, i tukua

 mai i te tuatahi, a ko te hoko whenua i
 mahia. Me  korero e ahau nga mahi a te
 Piritohi Rehinata i mua. Ka  noho ko  te

 Okura, a i mate ki te moana, a ko Piakau
 (be Pakeha) i mate ano hoki ki te moana, a
 na Te Poihipi i hoko taua whenua. E hara
 i te mea he whenua hoko atu na te Maori ki a
 Piakau;  i noho noa iho a ia i reira: aianei
 me horoi te kanohi o te Tiriti kia ma. Me

ship here, put flesh upon the land that the
laws may appear in the world. Let the law
relating to each man's land be made and
let the old Pakeha land claims be settled.
Some have been surveyed, others are not
yet surveyed; let the Crown Grants be given for
all Maori lands. This is a word about
Mr Clarke, senr. I do not approve of him.
When Mr Clendon does wrong then only
let another man be appointed in his place.

to your breast, and let God see what is

Wi Hau; Welcome, This was the word
to Governor Browne when he visited the
Waimate. This is unity. Welcome Go-
vernor Grey with your new system. Go-
vernor Browne proposed to establish town-
ships so that the Pakehas and Maoris could
live together. The pieces of land have
been surveyed, and we are waiting for the
fulfillment of his word, there is perhaps some
error, for we have performed our promise,
whereas his is not yet performed. Do you
agree to Governor Brownes word. Wel-
come with your new system, welcome to
your old friends.
Te Wha; Welcome, Governor Grey,
with your new plans be kind to me like the
anointing of Saul in former days.
Tamati Paua; Welcome, you alone shall
be our back. wipe away the sins of this
island. When you came before, there was
evil and you put an end to it, and now that
you have come again there is wrong standing
up. I do not approve of evil. Wipe away
the sins of this island.
Hira Mura; Hearken O Governor, Mr 
Clarke was not in fault in regard to the
land, the Maoris were mostly in fault.
Now we approve of Mr Clarke as head over
the Waimate. Mr Clarke was not in fault
in purchasing the land. Axes were great
treasures to the Maoris in former times,
and land could be obtained for them. I
have seen no fault in Mr Clarke; let him be
head over the Waimate. If he is like Mr
Shepherd, I approve of Mr Clarke.
