TURE KAUNIHERA.
ITE mea ka mate nei te Tare Kaunihera, he mea tika kia ata tirohia te ahua o tenei ture, ona painga, ona henga ranei, engari kahore pea matou e tau hei hurihuri i tenei ture i te mea ehara matou i te hunga i uru ki nga mahi Kooti Whenua. Kotahi ano te wahi o tenei ture i whai hua, ara ko te Komiti Poraka, ko te nuinga o te Ture i marama tona he i runga i tona korenga e whai hua, heoi ko te nuinga o a maton kupu mo te Komiti Poraka, i whakawhiwhia nei ki nga mana o Te Kooti Whenua Maori. He pai atu ranei te Komiti Poraka ite Kooti Whenua Maori, he kino atu ranei ? Ko tenei patai ta matou e mea nei kite whakahoki. Ki te kotia pototia te whakahoki me penei ake, he kino atu te Komiti Poraka, inahoki i turakina ai, a, i whakahokia ai ano ki te tikanga tawhito, ara, kite Kooti Whenua. Ko nga pai i whakaarohia ai e puta mai i te riro ano ma te Maori e whakawa o ratou whenua ko enei ; (i) Ka iti nga moni e pau. (2) Ka araia te korero parau. (3) Ka tika te whakatau i te mea he mohio te Maori ki nga korero ki nga tikanga Maori. Mo te take tuatahi. He nui nga rnoni e pau ana i runga i te Kooti pakeha, haunga nga moni i pau ake i te whakawakanga, engari ite nohoanga i nga taone. I tata kite rriarajng. -taku mat'akitakitanga ki nga mahi a'Te Kaunihera i tera tau. He iti noa iho te utu mo te keehi ate tangata, e rima hereni ano, otira tera ano etahi atu
huarahi i pan ai te moni a te tangata, ara, a nga tangata whai keehi. Ma ratou e whangai, e atawhai, te Komiti ; ma ratou e whangai nga tangata noho noa, kihoro nei he take ; he nui te kai e pau ana i a ratou and. Hei te mutunga o te whakawa ka utua te Komiti i runga i te whakaaro noa iho ; he nui ano hoki te utu mo nga kai-whakahaere. Mo te take tuarua. Ki taka i titiro ai kahore i iti te korero parau o te tangata engari i nui atu pea. Ko etahi tangata kua taunga nei ki te korero parau e kore rawa e numinumi. I te iti o te utu o te keehi kahore te tangata e wehi kite whakatu keehi mana, ahakoa he teka katoa nga korero o tana keehi. Kite Kooti pakeha ki te mau te teka o te tangata ka peia ki waho kahore ranei e whakaaetia kia korero, otira ki te Kooti Maori kahore e araia kahore e peia te tangata teka, ahakoa mau pu te teka. E ahei te tangata tino tahae te whakatu keehi mana, kahore he ture kahore he utu hei arai, hei whakawehi i a ia. Mo te take tuatoru. Tino nui ke atu nga piira i roto i te Kooti Maori i nga piira o roto i te Kooti pakeha, ka m }hiotia te nui o te whakahe a te tangata ki nga whakatau a te Komiti Poraka. I te mea he whanaunga katoa te Maori, he mea uaua rawa te kino o te Maori ki tona whanaunga ake. I etahi wa, e whai paanga ana ano etahi o te Komiti ki nga keehi. Ki taku whakaaro kahore i tokomaha rawa nga Maori e kore e riro nga whakaaro i te ahua o te whanaungatanga. Ko nga kai whakawa pakeha he roia, ha
tangata ranei kua tino mohio ki nga tikanga o te ture, tena ko nga Komiti Maori, ko te tokomaha ehara i te hunga matau. Ko tetahi he o te Maori he wehi kite whakatau ite he kite tangata, i tona mataku kei kinongia ia e te hunga i hinga, kei whaiwhaiatia ranei, na konei ka whai ia kite vvhakapai i nga taha katoa ma te keehi tonu i tino marakerake te he ka turakina. Ko enei whakaaro kua whakapuakina nei e au, i whakapuakina i runga i te turanga etita, ehara i te mea he urunga noku ki etahi o nga whenua i kootitia e te Kaunihera, he tikanga hoki tenei na te etita, i te mea ko ia te mangai o te iwi, ara te whakaatu i nga mea he e kitea ana e ia, a, epa ana kite tokomaha.
