No. 372, 1889.—Pukapuka-inoi a Te Wiremu Te Poro Kauiti me etahi atu e 58.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana kua whakaae katoa te Komiti Maori o te Tiriti o Waitangi ki te riihi i tetahi poraka whenua ki tetahi kamupani Pakeha hei mahi maina, a e inoi ana ratou kia hanga tetahi Ture motuhake kia ahei ai ratou te tuku i taua whenua i runga i te riihi.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ki te whakaaro o tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia e ratou nga tikanga.
