Manuwhiri against a repetition of such thefts to be done for ever with such disgraceful conduct that if other tribes broke out let not Manuwhiri take part with them but let him stand aloof from all quarrels in future. If I do wrong let me suffer for my own misdeeds in future let Hauraki suffer for its own deeds, but you must not commence if I or Taraia or any of the others get into as wrong do not help us rather let us suffer for our folly. Address what you have now to say to McLean about the powder. Manuwhiri and all present assented to Paratenes speech of which the above is only a brief outline. Manuwhiri again rose and said Welcome McLean welcome to Manaia to the shores of Hauraki, Welcome to the Governor who has sent you to release us from gaol or to punish us. We are glad to see you, we have done wrong we know it we feel it, th the Governor has treated us as a parent treats forward children.
