In this Note it is said that the order of things, which the Governor disturbed, was the desperate feud then prevailing at New Plymouth.

page 23

It should be remembered that there was no feud subsisting between William King and Teira. We learn from Mr. Parris that after this offer for sale Teira associated with William King the same as before, but never let the subject rest." He states also that they never had recourse to harsh measures after the public offer of the land to His Excellency the Governor, but on the contrary tried to work upon Teira by acts of kindness." (E. No. 3 A. p. 2.)

Mr. Parris is here speaking of peaceful relations subsisting between William King and Teira before the negotiations for peace between the Taranaki tribes began, that is to say, whilst the feud was still subsisting between William King and other parties. Then came the negotiations which brought the feud to an end. Peace had continued for about half a year when the Governor made the military demonstration at the Waitara.
