HE KOHURU KI TE PAPA-REIHI.
KUA malm a raatou whakaaturanga ko tetahi o nga kino o nga main purei moni he whakapakeke i te ngakau o te tangata. Ka purei moni etahi tangata, ka riro nga moni £lO a tetahi, ka pouri, ko te tangata ia i riro nei i a ia e /do ka koa, kaore e aroha kite tangata nana te £lO na, kua whakapakeketia te ngakau. Kaore he utu a te tangata i riro nei i a ia te /io mo tenei moni, kaore he taonga, hoiho, he werawera ranei, heoi ano na tona waimarie na tana mahi tahae, "parawhe" ranei. Ite mea ano e iri ana a te Karaiti i runga i te ripeka, e ngaua ana e te mamae, e pureitia ana ona weruweru e nga hoia—he ngakau kohatu, i kore ai e aroha. I tetahi reihi nui i Merepana, ka kohurutia etahi pukumeke ko Donald McLeod te ingoa. I te tononga a nga tangata i a ratou moni petipeti ka ki taua tangata kaore e taea e ia te utu, ko te whainga tenei o tangata nei i te papa purei ano, e 5 00 P ea *- e tokomaha o nga tangata kite whai kite poke i a ia, e kiia ana e nga nupepa ano te rite o taua 500 kei te kahui wuruhi. No te mohiotanga o taua tangata ka mau ia ka anga kite mano e aru ana i a ia ka mea kia tohungia ia, kaore e taea e iate utu a ratou moni, hei aha ma nga wuruhi nei ka hamama tonu nga reo ka karanga kia whakamatea, katahi ka plki tetahi ki runga i te laiapa, kotahi nei hereni tana i ngaro, ka paoa iho te mahunga o McLeod, ko tona hinganga kite whenua. I mate tonu atu tenei tangata, i whati tona tuara he mea
takatakahi, he mea whanawhana. Kaore ti mohiotia nga tangata na ratou i patu tenei tangata he wehi ranei no nga pirihimana kei kohurutia hold ratou i kore ai e kaha. I te kauwhau a tetahi mlnita i muri mai, ko Worrall tona ingoa, i whakahengia e ia te Kawanatanga, i mea ia na ratou i kohuru a a McLeod. I kino te Kawanatanga ki enei kupu, hamenetia ana a Worrall kia tu kite aroara ote Paremete. I a Worrall e haere ana kite Paremete i whakanuia ia e te tini o te tangata, i inoi i himene, na te mano tonu ia i arahi kite Whare Paremete. E 200 nga pirihimana i whakaritea hei tiaki i tenei minita, he wehi kei kohurutia e nga tangata petipeti moni. Ite whakawakanga i a Worrall i whakaae ia ki tana kauwhau, engari i whakamararaa ia ehara i te mea na te Kawanatanga ake a McLeod i kohuru engari na a ratou ture, na to ratou kore hold e hanga ture hei peehi i nga mahi purei moni, na to ratou kore hold e whakamana i nga ture hei takahi i nga mahi petipeti. I taikaha nga kupu ate Pirimia a Penete, mo Worrall, a i whakataungia te he ki tenei minita rnaia, engari hold he tokomaha o nga rnema i tautoko i a ia. Kei te hanga he ture hou inaianei mo Wikitoria hei peehi i nga mahi purei moni. Ko tetahi mea e whakahengia anako te totaraihe, he whakaako i te tangata ki nga mahi purei moni. Kite ki a Manu, kai-tirotiro o nga kura kua piki rawa nga mahi purei moni i waenganui i te Maori, te piriote, te pureikaari, te reihi-hoiho, a e raohio ana ano matou ko tenei tetahi mate nui kei te ngongo i nga toto te Maori, engari ko te rite o etahi tangata kei te tamanki, kaore i te mohio he mahi tino kino, tino tutua, te purei moni.
