KAIPARA.
The Native people of the Kaipara district, for a lengthened period, had serious differences amongst themselves regarding ownership of land; and frequently each party flew to arms, hoping effectually to settle the vexed question by the effusion of human blood, although they could not he altogether ignorant of the unlawfulness, and wickedness of such proceedings. We are willing to make allowances for the Natives, knowing that their knowledge of civilized usages cannot be perfect; nor should we overlook the difficulty of their position, in consequence of the absence of any lawful tribunal, to decide titles to land. This deficiency we are happy to record, has now been supplied, and as the whole of the Native people on the Kaipara, have gracefully accepted the newly devised system, for the better government of the New Zealand race, it is but reasonable to assume, that all Maori matters, including land titles, will be " quietly settled and in order."
