Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 23rd January, 1846.

THE Governor directs it to be notified to
the Ghiefs in the northern part of New
Zealand, and to all others concerned, that the
rebel Chiefs having been defeated and dispersed
by Her Majesty's Troops upon the 11th instant,
when the Pah of the Ruapekapeka was taken and
destroyed, and having subsequently made their
complete submission to the Government by
letter and through Tomati Waka Nene, who
upon his own part and that of the other friendly
Chiefs, interoded warmly in bukak of the rebels,
—the Governor has thought proper to give
effect to Her Majesty's earnest desire for the
happiness and welfare of Her native subjects in
New Zealand, by granting a free pardon to all
concerned in the fame febemon, who may now
return in peace and safety to their houses,
where, so long as they conduct themselves pro-
perly, they shall remain unmolested in their
persons and properties.

It must be distinctly understood, that nothing
contained in the foregoing portion of this notice
will justify any Natives retaining in their pos-
session horses stolen from Europeans. Such
horses must forthwith be returned to their
proper owners; and those Natives who con-
tinue to retain them in their possession may
rely that whenever they may be apprehended,
the Governor will cause them to be handed
over to the proper authorities, to be dealt with
according to the Law, without any reference to
the period of time that may have elapsed since
the horses were stolen.

By Command,
ANDREW SINCLAIR,
Colonial Secretary.
