PROCLAMATION.

By His Excellency Sir GEORGE GREY, Knight
Commander of the Most Honorable Order
of the Bath, Governor and Commander-
in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its Depend-
encies, and Vice-Admiral of the same,
&c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS a fanatical sect, commonly called
Paimarire, or Hau Hau, has been for some
time, and is now, engaged in practices subversive of
all order and morality; and whereas the rites and
practices of such fanatical sect, consisting, as they
partly do, in murder, in the public parade of the
cooked heads of their victims, in cannibalism, and in
other revolting acts, are repugnant to all humanity;
and whereas Her Majesty the Queen has commanded
her successive Governors in the Colony of New
Zealand not to tolerate, under any pretext whatever
of religious or superstitious belief, customs subversive
of order and morality and repugnant to humanity:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the aforesaid
Governor, do hereby proclaim and notify that I will,
in behalf of Her Majesty, resist and suppress, by the
force of arms if necessary, and by every other means
in my power, fanatical doctrines, rites and practices
of the aforesaid character; and I will cause to be
punished all persons, whenever they may be appre-
hended, who may be convicted of instigating, or
participating in, such atrocities and crimes; and, in
Her Majesty's name, I call on all well-disposed
persons, whether Native or European, to aid and
assist me herein to the best of their ability.

Given under my hand at the Government
House, at Auckland, and issued under
the Seal of the Colony of New Zealand,
this twenty-second day of April, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-five.

By His Excellency's Command,
FRED. A. WELD.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

G. GREY.

PANUITANGA.

NA TA HORI KEREI,
&c., &c., &c.

NOTEMEA tenei tetahi iwi porangi, e kiia nei he
Paimarire, he Hau Hau tona ingoa, te mahi nei
i ana mahi kino, whakatupu i te raru, i te mate:
Notemea e tino anuanu rawa atu ana nga ritenga
a taua hunga porangi nei, inahoki e uru ana ratou ki
te kohuru i te tangata, ki te hari haere ki te whaka-
kitekite i nga mokamokai, ki te kai tangata, me era
atu mahi pera, e morikarika nei ki te tangata, a:

Notemea kua puta tonu mai te kupu a Te Kuini ki
ia Kawana, ki ia Kawana o Niu Tireni, kia kaua e
tukua kia mahia e te tangata te mahi penei, nga
ritenga ranei e whakatupu ana i te mate, (ahakoa
kiia he ritenga karakia) e morikarika nei ki te tangata.

Na, ko ahau, ko Ta Hori Kerei, Kawana, e panui
ana, e whakatuturu ana—Maku i runga i te mana
kua tukua mai ki au e Te Kuini, e pehi katoa aua
ritenga anuanu, kohuru, kai tangata nei ki te rau o
taku patu, ki te kore e tahuri mai i runga o te pai e
horahia atu nei; a ka whakapakia ki nga tangata katoa
kua uru ki nga mahi penei, kua whakahau, kua
awhina i taua hunga porangi nei, ana kitea te tika,
te utu totika mo to ratou hara.

A i runga i te ingoa o Te Kuini e karanga atu
ana ahau, ki nga tangata katoa e tuturu nei tona
whakaaro ki te pai kia pa mai ia ki te whakakaha, ki
te awhina i au me tona kaha katoa—ahakoa ia
Pakeha, ahakoa Maori.

He mea tuku atu i raro i taku ringa i te whare o
Te Kawana ki Akarana, he mea whakaputa atu hoki i
raro i te Hiri o Te Koroni o Niu Tireni, i tenei rua
tekau ma rua o nga ra o Aperira, i te tau o to tatou
Ariki, Kotahi mano e waru rau e ono tekau ma rima.

G. GREY,
Na Te Kawana i ki,
Na Te Kawana.
FRED. A. WELD, Na Te Wera.
E TE ATUA, TOHUNGIA TE KUINI!
