The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 10

Paragraph 6

Paragraph 6.

In the four propositions here stated as conveying' the substance of my remarks, there are some inaccuracies. In the first, Mr. Richmond speaks of "the territory of the Ngati awa in Taranaki," and of the right of "the whole tribe; "I have intended all along to speak of the community to which the Waitara belongs, and of the communal right. In the second, William King is described as "principal Chief of the Ngati awa" I regard him, not as chief of the whole tribe, but as chief of the Waitara. In proposition four, it is given as my opinion that the Governor was not justified in taking possession "without the Judgment of a Court of Law." What I maintain is, that the Governor was not justified in taking possession without the decision of some competent and independent tribunal.
