14. Tioriori: Friends, entertain these laws well. 15. Karaitiana of Ngatikahungunu said: Hearken, all ye tribes, let us conduct our korero quietly. Who owns this land that the Governor proposes to make roads upon? Waikato replied: I do. Where are the roads to ? To Wellington. Karaitiana then asked of his forty followers—Is this road that is to be made to Wellington right ? The whole fortv at once said : No, it is not right. Wiremu Tamehana said : The Governor should be informed that this is to be a great law, like the law for stopping guns and powder. If he don't consent, enough. Leave to the Governor his and to the Maori theirs. Hoera: Let the water of Waikato be closed, and the men kept from becoming Queen's people. Tioriori of the Ngatikoroki said: Let love to men not be stopped, but only the land. Hemi of Ngatihourua said : Waikato and Ngatihaua ! This is the day of Tawauwau, is it not? Wiremu Tamehana: The meaning of the day of Tawauwau is this. The evil, it is in reference to your dispute with Ngatimahanga ; hence I said, the sun shines in vain beyound Tawauwau. Mohi of Ngatihourua: My road is my own. Let the Governor's road be for himself. Wiremu Toetoe of Ngatiapakura: I have travelled in all countries, now I am for stopping the roads, and also for what is right. Pakaroa : I am opposed to the roads. Herewini of Ngatinaho : 1 have held (against) the roads from long ago to the present time. Tioriori: This has been proposed as a law for life and for death. Ngaiporou : This is the plan. Let the Governor keep his. What harm is there in this ? Leave the matter to the law. This is all. I did not hear the korero of other days. Two matters of great importance wore decided upon. 1. The roads are not to be permitted over the Maori land. 2. The steamer is not to run in Waikato. These laws (or resolutions) are not to be whakawaed (discussed). There is to be no whakawa (investigation) about Waitara. As regards smaller laws (minor points) they may be whakawaed (investigated). This is all my love for you, show your love for me. From your loving slave, Rawiri Notutarata.
