VOL. III.] AUCKLAND. MARCH 31, 1857.-——AKARANA, MAEHE 31, 1857. [No. 5.
In the last number of ihe " Messenger" an
endeavour was made to direct the attention
of our Maori friends to a subject of serious
and growing importance, viz., the necessity
of at once devising some means of providing
education for their children, more especially
with a view to their being taught the English
language, so that they may be able to seek
knowledge from the same sources as those
from which the pakeha is himself sup-
plied.
•
We repeat, that it is in the hope of induc-
ing a widely-spread taste for reading and of
creating a thirst for information respecting
the various matters connected with civilised
life, and what is going on in the world, that;
this periodical is issued by the Government. 
The degree of success which is attained will

and killing each other, because they cannot
agree about the right to a tract of land; and 
still nearer to Auckland, the recent affair at
Tauranga, which, we regret to hear, has
already cost two lives.
Now in these qnarrels each party thinks
itself right; each believes its claim to the
land in dispute to be just. Does not this
show that there is something wrong in the
Maori system of holding land? We think our
Maori friends will admit that it does. They
see that their pakeha neighbours have no
such disputes about titles to land. Even
should a difference arise, it is easily settled
by an appeal to a court of law, where it is
quickly seen which of the claimants is the
righlful owner. Is this not a better way of
trying a doubtful claim than  shooting each
other, to say nothing of the waste of
time, labour, and food which these feuds
about land involve.
Now the question is, can the Maories
adopt a better system with respect to hold
ing land? Can any system be discovered
by themselves, or shown them by their
European friends, by which they may hold
land free of a constant liability to become
involved in quarrels about it? It is a
question worthy the  attention of the thought-
ful men among the Maori people.  At pre-
sent their land, instead of being a source of
wealth and prosperity, is only a snare and a 
hindrance to their civilization. Instead of a
blessing, it is a curse to its possessors, who
loo often, instead of obeying the Divine com-
mand to subdue it and to compel it to yield
bread to strengthen man's heart, are seeking
to subdue and kill each other, and to di-
minish the number of those bands which
should be engaged in cultivating it. Do the
Maories think that this beautiful country is
intended by GOD to remain  as at present,
an uncultivated waste, only to produce fern,
and furnish occasions of strife and blood-
shed among its inhabitants? Surely not.
Our space does not admit of pursuing the
subject, but we shall resume it at an early
opportunity.
WE understand that some apprehension has
been felt among our Maori friends in con-
sequence of the calling out of the Auckland
Militia. We take this opportunity of assur-
ing them that any fears they may have enter-
tained as to this proceeding being on indica-
ano tenei ku u, na te tikanga he ano. Ka
titiro mai ki te pakeha, kahore ona nganga-
re whenua penei me o nga tangata maori.
Nana ka ai he totohe whenua ki te pakeha,
heoi, kua kawea ki nga whare whakawa,
whakarite ai; te roa, kua kitea te tika o te-
tahi te he o tetahi, oti tonu iho, mutu tonu
ake te totohe. Erangi ano tenei tikanga mo
te whenua totohe e pai. Ko te aha e oti pai
i te pu? Ko te maumau taima, ko te mau-
mau mahi, kote maumau kai apitiria iho ki te
maumau tangata, ka tahi ano tikanga po-
hehe-
Na, tenei te hurihurihia oke nei e te whaka-
aro; ekore ranei e kitea tetahi atu tikanga,
tikanga pai mo te mau whenua o nga tanga-
ta maori? E kore ranei e taea te kimi, e ia
 ano, e te maori, te whakakite atu ranei ki a
 ia e tona hoa pakeha, tetahi tikanga e mau 
ai i a ia te whenua i runga i te raruraru ko-
re, i runga i te tikanga marama, i runga i te
wehi kore ki te mahi pokanoa a tera tangata,
I ki te whakatoi mai a tera atu tangata? He
i mea nui tenei, e pai ana kia ata hurihurihia
 e nga tangata whai whakaaro i roto i nga
 tangata maori. Inaianei, te waiho o ratou
  hei whakatupu i te whaitaonga me
te ora mo te iwi, kaore, hei mahanga ia hei 
 mea arai atu i nga tikanga o te pai, o te ora.
Tona tikanga, hei pai ia, puta ko hei kino,
hei tuku i te tangata nona taua mea ki te 
he. Te waiho i ta Te Atua i whakahau iho
ai hei mahi ma te tangata, ko te whawhai ki
te whenua ki whati ai tona tara i a ia, ko te
whakaputa i te kai hei whakakaha i to nga-
kau o te tangata: puta ke ko tons hoa tang-
ta nei ka whawhaitia e ia. ka tukitukia e ia;
a ouou iho i tana mahi nga ringaringa mana
e ngaki taua whenua.
Tena iana, e pehea ana te whakaaro o nga
I tangata maori ki tenei whenua pai ataahua 
nei, ki Nui Tirani? Ki to ratou whakaaro e
 pai ranei Te Atua kia waiho penei tonu. hei
pakihi, hei tupuranga rarauhe, a hei take
whawhai , whakaheke toto ma te iwi i nohoia
ai? Kahore pea. Kati i konei a matou kupu,
 erangi ka hokia mai ano te korero nei e
i matou a ona rangi.
E rongo ana matou kua rapurapu te wha-
kaaro o nga hoa tangata maori ki te whaka-
hoiatanga o te pakeha i Akarana nei, ara, ki
te whakaturanga o te Miritia, ki to te pakeha
reo. He ki atu tenei na matou ki a ratou,
kahore he lake e wehi ai ratou. Ehara te-
nei i te tohu ngakau riri, whakaaro whawhai 
ranei no te pakeha ki te tangata  maori. Kei ra-
 purapura te whakaaro o o matou hoa ki tenei

THE MAORI MESSENGER. 5 TE KARERE MAORI.
lion of hostile intentions or feelings towards
them on the part of their European fellow-
subjects, are utterly groundless. It is merely
an English custom now brought into opera-
tion here; its object being to instruct the
male inhabitants of Auckland  the use of
arms, that they may he qualified to guard
and protect the town in case of any emer-
gency, instead of keeping so many soldiers
here for the purpose.
We hope this explanation will be suffi- 
cient to relieve the minds of our Maori
friends of all apprehension on this subject,
and would here caution them against listen-
ing to any idle reports which may be spread
among them by foolish or mischivous per-
sons, and which are only calculated to lead
them astray. We also recommend them
whenever in doubt about any matter affect-
ing their relations with the Europeans, al-
ways to apply for information or explana-
tion to the fountain head. Let them apply
to the Governor, as to a parent, through
those officers whom he has appointed as a
medium of communication, whenever they re-
quire information, advice, or assistance. The
Maories have had abundant  proofs of the
benevolent. intentions of Her Gracious Ma-
jesty the Queen  towards them. They also
know that the Governor is her Representa-
tive here, and that  he will  therefore only
act  accordance with  her wishes and in
structions; they may therefore rest satisfied 
that nothing will ever be done to contradict
the assurances of goodwill and protection
which  they have received  in time past. They
will do well to remember that the Queen
does not permit her subject to proclaim war.
She reserves this right to herself alone.
They should also  bear in mind that, as the
Queen's subjects, they can have no ene-
mies but those who are also enemies of the
Queen, as she protects with her soldiers all
those who are owned by her as subjects.
mea. He ritenga ia no Ingarangi  ano, en-
gari, katahi- nei ka mahia ki konei. Tona
tikanga, he whakaako i nga taane o Akarana
nei ki te hapai pu, kia tika ai ratou hei kai
 tiaki mo te taone, kei rokohanga waretia noa-
tia i te rangi o te aitua, kei penei tonu te no-
ho tokomaha o nga hoia hei tiaki. Ko te
whakaaro whawhai, ehara tena.
Kati, ka marama pea i enei kupu te wha-
kaaro o o matou hoa maori, ka mutu te ra-
purapu ki tenei mea, a me maka i konei ta
matou kupu whakatupato ki a ratou, kei
i whakarongo ki nga tini korero horihori e
titoa noatia nei e nga  tini tangata kuware, e
nga tangata whakatuputupu i te he mo te ta-
ngata maori mo te pakeha, ara, kei whakama-
na hoki i ana korero pohehe, aianei, ka he ano.
Tenei hoki ta matou kupu whakaako ki a ra-
tou. E puta he wahi rapurapunga o te
whakaaro ki tetahi aha ranei aha ranei e ti-
rohia hetia mai e nga tangata maori, me ahu
mai ki te putake ui ai ki te tikanga. Me
ahu mai ki a Te Kawana te ui, ara ki ana ta-
ngata i whakaritea e ia hei kawe. i a nga ta-
ngata maori korero ki a ia, i ana korero ho-
ki ki a ratou. Na. e kore e e tahuri ke nga
taringa o te Kawana ka wkakarangona ano
eia a ratou korero, ka meatia ano eia kia
ata whakaatuaturia ki a ratou nga tikanga o
te mea i kimihia e ratou me te ata tohutohu
ano me te awhina ano i runga i to te matua 
ritenga. Kua tini nga tohu ki nga tangata 
maori o to Te Kuini whakaaro atawhai ki a
ratou, o mua iho ano, a, naianei. A kua
mohio ano hoki ratou ko te Kawana tona
ahua ki konei, a ko ana tikanga no Te Kuini
ano, ekore e poka noa ake he tikanga mana,
engari ka waiho tonu tana i runga i ta Te
 Kuini whakaritenga iho ki a ia. Kua mohio
 noa ake nga tangata maori ki tenei ra  reira 
me atu marie te whakaaro, me okioki pai  me
tino mohio hoki. ekore rawa e taka nga  tika-
nga atawhai, awhina; a Te Kuini kua whaka-
puakina ki a ratou   i mua, a tae noa ki tenei
ra e mau nei ano. Tetahi hoki, me mahara
i tonu ratou. ekore a Te Kuini e pai ma ona
 tangata e karanga  te whawhai, engari mana
i anake, ano tera tika.  Tetahi atu hoki hei
maharatanga ma ratou, me he mea he tan-
gata ratou no Te Kuini, e kore e ahei te
whakatika noa tetahi hoa riri ki te whawhai
 ki a ratou   engari, he hoa riri no ratou, he
hoa riri tena nona, ta te mea, mana e tiaki
ki ana hoia nga tangata katoa e kiia ana he
tangata nona.

Queen, whose name was Isabella,  came, back
to England, and heading the rebeI people
forced the King to fly and to give up, by
papers which he signed, all claim  to be the
King of a country which his father  had be-
queathed to him  such a prosperous state.
But loss or power was not the only punish-
ment which Ed ward's weakness brought him.
A short, time after, he was cruelly murdered,
and in a grave of Old St. Peter's he found
the rest he had never had as King.
The  road which lay before his eldest son,
who now was crowned as King, was not a
smooth one. A mother who had turned
against her husband, a guilty lord who ruled 
this guilty mother, a race of Chiefs or Lords
who, though they wanted justice for them-
selves, would gladly  seize it from the King or
lower people, a warlike nation, as the Scots
were, waiting on the borders of the land to
plague and pillage it—all were around and
against  his open ing path these various  hostile
powers a by of sixteen had to fight alone.
But in this new King Edward his grand-
father's bold soul and strong will  seemed to
have come upon the earth again; and at the
end of 50 years, when this young boy had
grown an old greyheaded man, and was
about to render up his life and kingdom to
the great king Death, he could look back
and say that at no former time had England
been so great or all her people so well to ruIed
by law. and so secured from future king's
oppression. In this Ins people helped him;
as, when he wanted money for his wars
against both France and Scotland, they

would not let his claim it as he wished,
but called before his mind how in the
last two reigns it had been made law in
the  assembly of the people that no sums
could be taken by the King without the
Parliament's consent. And so to make the
people help him in his plans, and to secure
their favor and affection, he granted them
great benefits  the chief of which were a
reform in all the Law Courts, where till this 
lime the French  language had been used
since William with his Norman Lords had 
conquered England, but now once more the 
English tongue was spoken. The Judges
loo had been but loudly chosen and gave
i
for bribes the judgment which should
have followed right; but now they were
yearly selected from the wealthy of the
people, and if they gave an unfair judgment
they might be dismissed; so that in Edward's
reign the law stood firm—a rock to be relied
on by the people who took shelter under it
from all the cruel acts of men, who by their
greater might had claimed a greater right
over their weaker brothers.
There are three branches of the law in
England known by the names of Common
or Unwritten, Civil, and Statute Law. The
first is that of which the written law itself is
lost but of which  there are still found
histories of cases which show us what the
practice of our forefathers had been. By
the common law of England the eldest son
succeeds to all his father's land, and on
decisions given in King Edward's reign,
much of the law vvhich now directs our
runga ki te hunga whai rawa ki te hunga
rawa kore.
E toru nga rerenga o te ture ki Ingarangi.
Ko te tuatahi kei te ture kihai nei i tuhitu-
hia nga tikanga, ko te ture o nga Romana,
ko te ture i tuhituhia. Ro te ture tuatahi.
ko enei ano i takoto ki roto ki nga pukapu-
ka, ara. ko nga take i tupu ake ai taua ture
i ngaro, ko nga tikanga ia o te tukunga iho
o tera ture, i mau ki te wharangi o nga pu-
kapuka, no reira i matauria ai nga mahi o
a matou tupuna. Ko te ture whakaae a te
iwi o Ingarangi, kihai nei i tuhituhia; e pe-
nei ana nga rerenga ki te mate te papa, ko
te whenua me nga taonga ka riro atu ki te
tama matamua. Na. he nui nga tikanga o
te ture e mahia nei, no te Kingitanga a Eru-
era i turia ai. Ko te ture Romana, no nga
whenua ke, a, kua tamia tera e te ture o te
pukapuka, e te ture o te whakaakonga noa
iho nei. Na te iwi ano i whakakite mai to
ratou hiahia, koia i whakaaetia ai e nga runa-
nga rangatira kia whakamutua era. No te
whakakahoretanga o taua ture Romana, na te
Kingi me nga runanga nui. Na, kua oti
te tuhituhi te pukapuka o te whakakahore-
tanga o taua ture; a, whakaae ana nga ta-
ngata katoa ko tera mana.
I roto i tenei Kingitanga ka whakatakoto
a Kingi Eruera i tetahi ture i koa rawa ai
tona iwi. Na, ko te tikanga tenei, ka kara-
ngatia, etoru ano rerenga o te hara ki runga
ki te tangata, mo te mahi korero kino ki
nga Kingi, mo te mahi he ki te Kingi. Te
na me he mea i whakatakoto ngakau tetahi
 tangata ki te whakamate i te Kingi. Te 2;
me he mea i anga te whawhai ki te Kingi.
 Te 3; ki te mea, ka whakahoa ia ki nga
 hoa riri i roto i te whawhai, i te whenua o
 te Kingi.
 Na, me hoki ta tatou korero ki a Eruera,
 i te wa i mate ui tona matua. Me ata titiro
hoki tana tikanga ki te pehi i nga raruraru
nunui i kitea ki tona aroaro. No te wa i
huri ai ona tau kotahi te kau ma waru, ka
mau i a ia tera tangata hara. a Motima,
I whakawakia iho ia, mo te kohurutanga o te
Kingi kua mate ra, a, whakamatea iho ia,
hei utu mo tona ha ra. Ko tona matua wa-
hine i whiua e ia ki tetahi o aua whare taua;

hara. No konei ka hapainga te ope ki Ka-
tarangi, ka turia te riri, a, riro ana te papa
i a ia, mate aua taua iwi. Otiia, i waiho
atu e ia taua iwi, a, anga ana ia ki tetahi
mea nui ke atu i kitea e tona kanohi.

business rests. The civil law. which came
from foreign countries, has become subject 
to both the Common and Statute; and of
ihe Statute, or written law, it is enough to
say that as it has been wished for by the
people and settled by them with the Lords
and King in full assembly of their Parlia-
ments, and has been written and preserved
with rare. it is the one great power to which
all bend.
King Edward also passed a statute  in his
reign which greatly pleased his subjects as
by it it was established that in three cases
only could a man be charged with the great
crime of treason—lst. if he tried to put the
King to death--2nd. if he fought in war
against him— and, 3rd. if he helped foreign
enemies within his country.
But now we must return to Edward as we
left him at his father's death, and see how
he surmounted the grave troubles which were
around him. As soon as he had reached
his eighteenth year, be seized the traitor
Mortimer, tried him for the late King's mur-
der, and punished him by death. His mo-
ther he sent to one of his strong castles,
where she lived on with time to sorrovv for
her sins; and then be marched to Scotland
where he gained a victory over the Scots,
but left them to follow up a larger prize
which now opened to his sight.
The King of France, who was young
Edward's uncle, had just died, leaving no son
behind  him to fill the throne therefore his
cousin Philip, as nearest male-heir, claimed 
it. and the  Lords of France approved him
as by their lavvs a woman may not reign
and Edward, although nephew to the King
was so through Isabella his mother, which
by the law of France prevented  his succeed-
ing. But longing for action, and longing
to add so large and rich a country to his
own, he called his troops together. got
money from his people, and sailed for France,
leaving  his wife Queen  Philippa, to carry on
Ihe war against, the Scots. His son, the 
Prince of Wales, called from the color of
his armour the Black Prince  went with him
and was made a Knight, a mark of great
honor at that time.

object of my coming to sec you is that I may
inform you of the gracious intentions of the
Queen, the fulfilment of which she has en-
trusted to me, I also wish to point out to
you the way to live peaceably and happily,
to prosper in matters pertaining to this life,
as well as in those belonging to the
life to come, as ordained by God. But
let there be no strife; neither let that which
is evil be practised."
The people received the Governor's words
with applause, and he continued; " Listen,
I have lately come from a land called New
Zealand, where I was Governor, the people
of that land were once very turbulent  and
wild, but when I was there, they had forsa-
ken their old practices, and their cannibalism,
and were willing to listen to me when,
in accordance with my instructions from
the Queen, I endeavoured to show
them the path by which they might
attain to civilisation and prosperity—as I now
wish to show you. The people I speak of
were very apt to learn pakeha customs, and
the arts of civilised life. They soon learnt
to grow wheat and many other things. Now
I hope you will do as they have done. Do
not rest satisfied with the possession of flocks
and herds, you must grow wheat also. It
will be by this, that you will grow rich and
become a great people. But, whatever, you
do, you must cease fighting; that evil must
be given up. Now I have here with me a
native of that land, a New Zealander; and I
should like him to speak to you and tell you
what he thinks on these matters, that you may
hear what has been done by his people, and be
led to follow their example." This propo-
sal was assented to by the chiefs and the
kaua e whawhai; kaua ano hoki te kino e
mahia."
Na, ka whakapai taua iwi ki nga korero
a Kawana. Na. ka mea ano ia ki taua iwi;
" Whakarongo mai koutou. Na. i a au i
tetahi whenua, ko Nui Tireni te ingoa, i rei-
ra au e Kawana ana i naia tata akenei, he
iwi tutu hoki; otira i toku nohoanga ai ki

pai o tenei ao i homai e te Kuini kia korero-
tia ki a ratou  ko aua tikanga nei  korero-

hohoro tonu taua iwi te tango i nga ri-
tenga pakeha, i nga mohiotanga hoki; a,

ano hoki koutou me ratou. Kaua koutou e
mea, he kahui  anahe te mea pai hei wha-
ngai; e ngari he kahui me te witi ano ho-
ki; ma reira koutou ka whai rawa  ai. ka
e tino rangatira  rawa ai hoki. Otiia, ko te
whawhai, me whakarere rawa atu tera mea
 kino. Na, tenei ano tetahi tangata, no taua
 whenua, kei au nei ano, e noho tahi atu nei
ano maua: e hiahia au ki a ia kia tu ki

mo nga mahi pai kia mahia e koumu; kia

ra o taua iwi, me te iwi katoa ano hoki.
Na, ka tahi  ano au ka whakatika ki runga.
Na, ka titiro taua iwi ki a au, a, roa rawa,
ka puaki atu taku  kupu ki a ratou:- ka mea

rest of the people; I accordingly rose, and
after encountering the gaze of the people
for a long time, at last I spoke thus: " Ye
people, ye people, hearken; I have a vvord
to say to you. Though a stranger to you 
yet listen to me. I can only second what
the Governor has said to you; by urging upon
you the necessity of your giving up fighting;
and other evil and foolish practices, For
myself, I can only say that my people were
once ina far worse state than you ever were,
for we were cannibals ; yet whe the Pake-
has came to my land bringing civilisation with
them, we very quickly abandoned our fool-
ish, savage and cannibal practices, and en-
deavoured to follow the civilised customs of
the pakeha, which we have now made our i
own. Now, my country has been colonised
by the. Europeans  but very lately. Yours,
on the contrary, has been long colonized—
2 10 years—and, I would ask, when do yon
intend to adopt opt the ways of civilisation?"
added a few words more and concluded.
With = respect to the  cannibalism however,

2. THE DOG INN THE MANGER.
A dog was  lying in a stable,  on  a heap of
new hay in the manger. While he was lying
there, an ox came up to the stable door, and
looked in; the ox was very hungry, there
was no grass near the place: so he put his
head in, and tried to eat a liltle of the hay,
of which there was a great deal all about the
dog. The dog however jumped up, and began
to snarl at the ox, and to bite and snap at
him. He would  not let him have a bit. The
ox looked at the dog, and said to him: " You
are a selfish beast; you cannot eat the hay 
yourself, and yet you grudge it to those who
can,"

AGRICULTURAL COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FOR MARCH.
Our communications with Australia have
been sadly interrupted  since our last, in
consequence of the unfortunate stranding of
the steamship  Wiliam Denny. The
steamer sailed from Auckland on the evening 
of Monday  the 2nd inst., and in the course
of the following night, there being a dense-
fog at the time, she took the ground, but so
gently, it is said, and in so soft a spot that
she was quickly hacked off. The vessel's
course  was  immediately changed from N.N.
W. to S.E, and in a few minutes thereafter 
to N.E. Sometime after that, the  man on
the look out ahead  should to stop the
engines, but, before that  could  be. done. the
vessel struck the bottom twice and remained
fast. in which position she has since con-
tinued. Fortunately the weather, though 
thick, vvas calm the passengers and cargo, 
were, therefore all saved. The spot where
the Denny lies is in a nook, close  to the
North Cape, well sheltered from every wind
but a Suil'h^e;?sie;*. Tlsft he:ich rs sle.-p.
