TE HOKO WAIPIRO I TE ROHE POTAE.
Kua puta te kupu a te Kawanatanga kia pootitia e nga Maori me nga pakeha kia whakatuwheratia te hoko waipiro ki roto kite Rohe Potae o Waikato, kia waiho tonu ranei te ture tawhito kia kati tonu te hoko waipiro. I
puta ai tenei whakaaro i te Kawanatanga he kaha rawa no te hoko tahae i te waipiro i roto i te Rohe Potae. I te whakaaetanga kia tuwhera a Waikato kite pakeha i hangaia he ture kia kaua e tu he whare hokohoko waipiro kite Rohe Potae. I kaha, i mana hoki taua ture i nga tau tuatahi, otira i te kaha o te whakanoho o te pakeha ki Waikato ka kaha haere te urn mai o te waipiro, a inaianei ki ta matou rongo, nui atu te waipiro e hokona ana e te pakeha e te Maori, a, e kaha ana hoki te haurangi o te tangata, ano te rite kei nga whenua e watea ana te hoko i te waipiro. He whenua a Waikato e uaua te arai atu i te waipiro, otira i kaha rawa ai lie kore kaore e whakakaha i te ture arai atu kei mauria mai he waipiro ki roto o te Rohe Potae. Ki te mea kua uru mai te waipiro ka mama noa iho te hokonga. Otira i tino ngoikore ai te ture he kaha no nga Maori tonu o Waikato kite tautoko ite hoko tahae ite waipiro. He maha nga tangata kua whiua mo te hoko tahae i te waipiro, he tokomaha hoki o aua tangata he Maori. E pouri ana matou mo te tahuri ano o nga Maori kite patu ite ture i hangaia ra hei oranga mo ratou i hangaia e te Paremete i runga i te tono a Wahanui me Waikato katoa. Ko ta ratou e whai ai ko te moni ko te moni tahae tena ko te painga mo te iwi nui, mo ratou ano hoki, mo a ratou tamariki i muri i a ratou ka whakahaweatia. He nui ano nga pakeha kei te tu kite Kawanatanga mo to ratou whakaaro kite whakatuwhera nui ite hoko waipiro ki Waikato. E kore pea te Kawanatanga e whakarongo, i te whakaaro kua rere ke te whakaaro o Waikato inaianei, ara kei te hiahia kite waipiro. Ki te mate koe e Waikato, na an ano i kimi he mate mou. Whakaohotia a Wahanui ki te whawhai ki tenei taniwha nui ka tukua nei ki roto o Waikato hei whakamamae, hei whakamoti, hei whakamate i te tangata. Otira mehemea ka rite te whakaaro o Waikato kite arai atu i taua mate kei whakatuturutia ki to ratou whenua, tera ano e taea te pana. He mana ranei to Mahuta ? Mehemea he mana, e whakarongohia ranei taua mana e Waikato katoa ?
