The dignity of a Bonch could not be preserved if the Judges had to duck at overy swing of the puukuh, and ita stoppage was ordered.

The fact that there are so few native ware in British Now Guises and no concerted action of any kind against the Administration is largely due to the code of law administered by the little group of white oficials and its black Donstables. This onde makes it an offence to supply the natives with firearme. opism, or Mr. & Mrs. F. G. Mores, intoxicating liquore. It also prevents native labour being engaged except under a licence, which places high obligations on the employer. It farther conserves to the tribes the possession of nine-leaths of the land, and the retention of all religions, and local enstars which are not obriondly immoral or inhuman.
