Ko te whakaaro o taua hui ko te pai anake ki waenganui o nga iwi, ko te whakakotahi kite Pakeha, ko te whakawhairawa, ko te a whin ai te ture. Otira kotahi te take i ahua pouri ai, i aliua riri ai, taua hui, ara ko te mahi a nga Pakeha whangai hipi, i kiia i taua hui e whakatakoto rongoa ana i runga i nga whenua Maori; a puta ana te kupu ate hui kite kitea tetahi mahi pera inaianei ka kawea kite ture mana e mahi, kia kitea te tika, te he ranei, o taua mahi. Tetahi tikanga i whakahe ai te hui, ko te tokiari pauna, e hereliere nei e hokohoko nei i nga hoibo, nga hipi, me nga kau, kaore nei te kai-tiaki o te pauna e tuku panui ki nga Maori; a mea ana te kupu a taua hui, " kite whakaaro o tenei hui he mea tika kia hinga rawa tenei tikanga o te pauna, he mea he." Tetahi tikanga i "whakalicngia e te hui, ko nga rua kohatu i runga i nga whenua Maori. Engari nga rua kohatu me noho tonu kite rori ote Kuini, ki runga kite tini kotahi. Tetahi tikanga lioki i "whakahengia e te hui, ko te mahi a te Pakeha, i runga i nga ■whenua reti ki a ratou, kite keri i nga repo me nga roto hohonu kia maroke nga wai kia waibo te roto hei paamu, a mate ana nga tuna. I mea te hui kia whakaritea etahi tangata hei komiti titiro kite take ote tangata e hialiia ana kite refci kite hoko ranei i tetahi wahi whenua ; me matua haere taua tangata kite Komiti mana e whakaae, katalii ka tika nga tikanga, ka ora tetahi taha me tetahi taha.

Hui katoa nga moni i pau i taua hui e £654 18. 0 ! He aha i kore ai nga boa Maori e whai kite tikanga Pakeha ina karangatia e ratou he hui rapu tikanga mo te nuinga ? Ko te tu o te tangata lioki pea e hiahiatia ana kia haere ki aua tu hui he tangata whai whakaaro, he tangata whai matauranga ; kaua te tangata puku kai, inukorokoro nei, kaore nei ona whakaaro ke atu Ito te mea kai mana. Ko tenei hui i karangatia hei titiro ki etalii tikanga e liara nei i te tikanga nui rawa, a whiua ana, maumau-

E whakahe ana ia kite mahi tuku waipiro i nga uhunga tupapaku ; e ki ana a ia he tokomaha nga tangata e haere ana ki aua uhunga kite 11 tangi waipiro, e hara ite tangi kite tupapaku " He tangata haere ano ia ki nga tangihanga, engari e hara i te maharahara kite waipiro tana i haere ai; he " titotara " ia, e kore rawa ia epa kite waina, engari kei te takiwa anake e whakaritea ai te Hapa .a te Ariki. Engari, e whakaae ana ia he hiahia ano tona kite kai " kumara i taona kite hangi," he nui hoki o taua kai kei nga tangihanga—" otira," eki ana e ia, " e hara nei tena ite mea i hokona kite moni."
