KUA mea ake Te Kawana kia taia te
Rangatira o Waikato, kia mohiotia ai e te

G. GREY,
Governor.
CHIEFS OF WAIKATO,
Europeans quietly living on their own
lands in Waikato have been driven away;
their property has been plundered; their
wives and children have been taken from
them. By the instigation of some of you,
officers and soldiers were murdered at Tara-
naki. Others of you have since expressed
approval of these murders. Crimes have
been committed in other parts of the island,
and the criminals have been rescued, or
sheltered under the color of your authority.
You are now assembling in armed bands;
you are constantly threatening to come down
the river to ravage the settlement of Auck-
land, and to murder peaceable settlers. Some
of you offered a safe passage through
your territories to armed parties contem-
plating such outrages.
The well-disposed among you are either
unable or unwilling to prevent these evil
acts.
G. GREY,
Kawana.
E NGA RANGATIRA O WIAKATO,
Ko etahi Pakeha i ata noho i runga i o
ratou whenua i Waikato, kua oti te pei mai,
ko a ratou taonga i murua, ko a ratou wahine
me a ratou tamariki i tangohia. Na etahi o
koutou te kupu i hinga ai i te kohuru nga
Apiha me nga hoia i Taranaki; a, whakati-
kaia ana e etahi o koutou aua kohuru. I pa
etahi ki te hara i era atu wahi o tenei motu, a
no koutou te ingoa, no koutou te mana i tan-
gohia atu ai ratou i roto i nga ringa o nga kai
hopu, i kore ai hoki e tukua mai. E tutu ope
ana koutou inaianei, e huihui ana i nga tan-
gata mau patu: e puta tonu mai ana te ki
whakaeke mo Akarana, kia kohurutia nga
Pakeha e ata noho nei. Etahi o koutou wha-
kaaturia ana e ratou i mua tata ake he ara i
to ratou whenua mo te taua i haere mai ki te
kino. Kahore e kaha te hunga pai i roto i a
koutou, ki te pehi i enei kino.
No reira ka whakaritea e ahau he nohoanga
hoia ki etahi wahi o te Awa o Waikato, hei
