Hohepa Tamaihengia, Ngatitoa Chief at Porirua.—Light Green Stone, 'Mere Pounamu.'

The Native name of this Stone is called 'Taluramon,' and formerly belonged to Ngaitahu tribe. In an engagement between the Ngaitahu and Ngatitoa tribes, 'To Puoho,' a great Chief of the Ngatitoa, and uncle to 'Hohepa Tamaihengia,' took it from a Ngaitahu Native named 'Maru,' whose life 'Te Puoho' saved, but used the Mere in killing some of 'Maru's' people. Another engagement took place at Te Aunui, between the Ngaitahu and Ngatitoas, when 'To Puoho' was killed by a gun-shot, and the Ngaitahu retook the 'Mere Taturamoa'; and several years afterwards 'Haeieroa,' a page 24 Ngaitahu Chief, gave it to 'Hohepa Tamaihengia,' being the nearest relative to 'To Puoho.' 'Hohepa,' in return, presented him with a horse.

Has been used in many engagements, and formerly belonged to Te Matiu Moko, when he died it fell into the hands of Hohepa Tamaihengia. This 'Taiaha' is upwards of 30 years old.
