Your fault to the Europeans of Kawhia, the taking (or robbing) of their property, -- robbing their property, and then asking them to stay. If it was not for the robbery, your words might have been listened to. As it is, the words come in robbing. My thoughts, therefore, is, the Europeans must go away in peace, to where they please. The thoughts of the elderly men are right. But you will (or do) not know the intentions of some of you.
