Te Aitanga a Ruanui

on Ngati Paoa land at Devonport. He was a familiar sight on the Auckland streets, his tall frame bent
with age and dressed in a military uniform. He did help to bring security to Auckland. He persuaded a
party of Ngati Paoa to withdraw after they had invaded the town, enraged by the wrongful arrest of a
chief. There was further turmoil in 1854 over the delay in convicting a Pakeha accused of murdering a
Maori. It seems that the victory of Patuone's racehorse, New Zealander (given to him by Grey),
helped to calm things down. However, the subsequent verdict of manslaughter and the sentence of life
imprisonment left a sense of dissatisfaction among many Maori.

Patuone was still called on for advice from time to time in the 1860s; he is said to have begged Grey
in 1863 not to be the first to cross the Mangatawhiri Stream and attack Waikato, for this would put
the Pakeha in the wrong. The capital was shifted to Wellington in 1865, depriving him of many of his
influential friends, but the provincial government still consulted him.
Patuone died on 19 September 1872. Of his four wives and nine children only one son, Hohaia,
survived him. His funeral was of a European kind; he lay in the Devonport Hall, attended by 500
mourners Maori and Pakeha and was buried in the Mt Victoria Cemetery, Devonport. The
government enclosed the grave with an iron fence and erected a plaque which celebrated Patuone as a
'warm friend of Europeans, supporter of the Queen's laws, and Peacemaker'.
