Important Judgments: Delivered in the Compensation Court and Native Land Court. 1866–1879.

1827

1827.

Apihai and his party collect from the forests at Waiaro, near Mahurangi. They are here attacked by Te Parawhau, under Tirarau; their pa is captured, and the remnant flees to the mountains. After some time they assemble at Orewa, and proceed by Takapuna to Te Whau, thence to Woods' Island (Pahi), thence to Kopapaka (Henderson's Mill). Here they settle—Apihai, Tinana, Uruamo, Watarangi, and most of the Taou and Ngaoho. Te Urungutu, under Hakopa Paerimu, are living with Ngatipaoa at Wharekawa.

Shortly after Apihai and his people settle at Kopapaka, they are fetched by Hakopa Te Paerimu, and carried in Ngatipaoa canoes to Wakatiwai. Thence they pass up the Piako River, and the Horotiu to Haowhenua, near Maungatautari. Most of them remain here until the expulsion of Ngatipaoa in 1831.

The other Ngatiwhatua tribes, with some of Apihai's people,page 74occupy a pa on the banks of the Waipa River, near Kaniwhaniwha, called Te Horo. Along with them are Ngatiteata, Ngatitamaoho, Te Akitai, and most of the Manukau tribes.

Ngapuhi, under Pomare, invade Waikato, and are defeated at Te Rori, on the Waipa, by Ngatiteata and other Waikato tribes. The Ngapuhi party is nearly all destroyed.
