II. Conquest

II. Conquest.

The affair of Kapetawa has been disposed of, and I cannot find evidence of any other conquest. I thought at one period of the case that I could trace something in the doings of Ngatiwhanaunga which indicated a right, acquired by force of arms, superior to that of the other Thames tribes, but the idea was not borne out. Subsequently it was stated by witnesses, and finally by their counsel, that their claims were all equal.
