did not. And that Pakeha, Adam, said, 'Yes, but Karani's way is to kill pigs that attack and those that don't.' I said, 'That's wrong,' and the argument went on there for some time; they were wrong about the boar which did not attack. I talked over two days with them, but the Pakeha were still in the wrong. I said that Karani should pay for the one that did not attack, and that I would wait for him. He arrived on the 12th. I went to speak to him and he said, 'So you are making accusations.' And I said, 'I'm not making accusations.' He spoke of payment with a watch. I replied, 'I'm not arguing about cost.' And I said, 'I am asking about this, asking about the sheep which were done for by the pigs.'
kaore i kai. Mea ana taua Pakeha [a] Arama, 'Ae, ko te tikanga a Karani, me patu nga poaka i kai me nga poaka kaore i kai.' Ka mea atu au, 'E he ana tena', a he roa ano te tohenga ki reira, a, i he ano era mo te poaka toa, kaore i kai. E rua aku ra i korero ai ia, i he ano nga Pakeha. Ka mea au ma Karani e utu te mea kaore [i] kai, a ka tatari au ki a Karani. A, ka tae mai i te tekau 12 o nga ra. Ka haere au ki te korero ki tera. Ka ki mai tera, 'Tena to korero kino.' Ka mea atu au, 'Kaore aku korero kino.' Ki mai ana i te utu o te wati. Ka mea atu au, 'Kaore au e pupuri i te utu.' Ki atu ana au, 'Tenei taku korero, he ui naku ki nga hipi i pau i nga poaka.'
