No. 55.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hemi Takahia me tetehi atu.
E whai kupu ana te kai-pitihana mo tetahi pihi whenua, kotahi rau eka, i hoatu kia ratou e te Komihana, kei roto i te takiwa o Manawatu-Rangitikei, erangi kua hokona e tetahi tangata, ko Matiu te Wheoro te ingoa, kihai hoki i riro mai i a ratou tetahi wahi o te utu o taua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ko tenei pitihana me tuku ki te Kawanatanga kia patapataia.
