TE KARERE MAORI. Vol..V.] AUCKLAND, FEB. I5. 1858. AKARANA, PEPUERE 15, 1858. [No 3. THE present number of the "Karere" contains a proclamation of his Excellency the Governor having reference to the distur- bances at Taranaki.

Kaore te Kawanatanga! poka ki tana whainga aha ai ranei aha ai ranei; he mea hoki kahore ano i marama noa nga whakaaro o nga tangata o Taranaki ki nga Ture o Ingarani a, na te kore mohio ekore hoki ratou e uru ki te hapai ki te whakamana i aua Ture.
