THE FOUNDER OF PAI MARIRISM.
As some doubts exist as to the whereabouts of Te Ua, the high priest and founder of the Pai Marire religion, wo can state that he is at present lying at Oeo, the northern boundary on the coast of the Ngatiruanui district. He has been hiding until lately in a small clearing in the forest, in company with three or four other natives, where he was found with some difficulty by a friendly native. We hear he has recovered from his insanity, and speaks of it as his mate (disease), and says Pai Marirism proceeded from it. Our informant stated as his belief that Te Ua's mate was caused by small evil spirits, commonly known as Tcikokiko, having taken possession of him. We are told he wishes to come in. — Wanganui Chronicle, 9th December .
