THE CHIEF KIRIPAKOKO TE HARATUA PINGAREKA.
Kiripakoko Te Haratua Pingareka, is a low set man with a full tatooed face, and rather prepossessing. The face i s said to be an index to the mind, but we discovered nothing in the chubby countenance of this warrior Ckieftain to warrant the belief that he was a man of greater ability than his associates. When we heard him speak, however, we were led to the inevitable conclusion that he possessed great energy, and decision of character. He visited Auckland for the first time, a few weeks ago, and was introduced to the Governor, who received him with his usual affability. The conference was lengthy, and Kiripakoko left the capital for his settlements at Kawhia and Aotea, well pleased with the Governor, with the people, and with the place.
