WHANGANUI.
Some of our readers have requested us to publish an account of the late quarrel between the native Herewini, and the European named Lister. We are unable to accetle to their request, not having been furnished with any reliable information on the subject; but we give an extract from a Maori paper forwarded to us by Mr. R. W woon of Wbanganui, which justifies the man Lister, and condemns the conduct of the late Herewini, who was Firstly, the aggressor in stealing and killing a pig; and, * Secondly, the aggressor in striking the first blow with the intent to murder Lister. The letter is addressed to certain Chiefs at Putiki, Aramoho,. &c, and bears the signature of "Aperaniko." The following is the paper:—
«* Friends— * * * There are two patters against Herewini:. one is, bis stealing a pig, and Hie second is, bis spearing the European. The European did one thing, and that was, his seeking satisfaction, Jor.the injury rofKctedv "Friends, according to. our., law tbe European did right, for those laws were aiade known to ui, and stfjl the natives disregard tbera."
