No. 180 of1878.—Pukapuka-inoi a Eru Takihi me etahi atu 16.

E Ki ana nga Kai-pitihana no ratou a Kauangaroa i runga i te tikanga Maori, a kihai rawa ratou i tuku i o ratou paanga; a kihai rawa ratou i uru kite Hauhau; a kaore ratou i tuku i to ratou whenua ki te Kawanatanga. E inoi ana ratou kia whakahokia to ratou whenua.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Ko taua poraka i tukua ki te Kawanatanga i te tau 1869, i runga ano i tetahi whakaritenga no roto taua wahi i te whenua raupatu na kaore rawa he pohehetanga ki taua whakaritenga i taua takiwa no reira kaore he kupu a te Komiti.
