HAURAKI.
He mea tuhi mai na te Wirikihana o Hauraki. E rua tahi nga take e mahia ana i Hauraki i naianei. Ko nga iwi katoa o Hauraki, ara a Ngatimaru, a Ngatitamatera kua riro ki roto ki Obinemuri—ki te Aroha hoki. Ko te take i haere ai nga iwi nei, he tango i Te Aroha tetahi (he whenua tena kua oti i te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori te whakatuturu ki a ratou) ; ko i haere ai ratou he whakahaere i nga\ tikanga mo te Meera i katia e te Hira—ko te Paki Konvhana tetahi i haere i a ratou. Te taenga atu o nga iwi kite Aroha kahore he tangata hei whakatete ki a ratou mo taua whenua. Kua kiia a Ngatihaua (ko te iwi tena i tautohe ki a Ngatimaru ma mo te Aroha i te Kooti Whakawa i Akarana), kua kiia e Tawhiao kia mutu, kia kaua e whakatete—i penei hoki tana ki, "kaore ia e pai kia mate te tangata i runga i te whenua o te tangata." Heoi ano—tango ana a Ngatimaru ma i tona whenua ki a ia ano, hoki mai ana ki Ohinemuri. Te taenga mai o ratou ki Ohinemuri katahi ka tu te korero mo te Meera—po noa ao noa, po noa ao noa, wiki noa, wiki noa e korero ana, kaore i rite. Taea ana te hubi, taea ana te ngenge, i tena tangata i a te Hira raua ko tona tuahine ko Mere Kuru. Engari he maha nga rangatira o Ohinemuri e pai ana ki tena mea kite Meera. E kite ana hoki ratou i tetahi painga mo ratou ki roto ki tena mahi; he kawe pukapuka ma ratou, ma nga pakeha hoki—ko te taha Hau Hau anake e kino ana. Kua turi pea inaianei te taringa ote Kawanatanga ite korerotanga. Tena pea e kawea tonutia e ia tona Meera—hei aha mana aTe Hira ? Oti, kia araia koia ete tangata kotahi nga mea pai mo te tokomaha? Ka mutu tena. I roto i nga marama kua pahure ake nei i heke iho te rongo mo te koura o tenei whenua, katahi ka kitea nuitia inaianei. Kotahi te Kererae (Claim) i tino nui ai te koura—ko "Karitonia" te ingoa. E whakaaria tonutia mai ana i roto i te Peke o Niu Tirani nga kowhatu o roto o taua Kereme—he koura kau, kahore he kowhatu o roto, he oneone, he aha. Ko te tangata e whai hea ana i roto i taua Kereme, kia kotahi Kiripi (Scrip) hea, e puta ana te moni mana e whitu pauna (£7) i te wiki kotahi, ia wiki ia wiki. Ka maha nga hea o te tangata ka hira noa atu te moni mana.
