No. 353 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Rapata Kereama (Nama 3).

E Ki ana te kai-pitihana no te tau 1881 ka whakaritea e ia ki nga tangata whaitake ki Okohiriki kei te taha Hauauru o Rotorua kia hokona e ia taua wahi, utua ana e ia etahi moni ki a ratou me ana kai-whakahaere hoki, no Oketopa o taua tau ka panuitia taua whenua i raro i te Ture Ngawha, no reira i kore ai e taea te whakaoti i tana hoko, e he ana hoki te ki a te Kawanatanga kua utu taunaha ratou mo runga i taua whenua mo runga i te hoko.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Ko taua ingoa whenua kaore i te mohiotia i roto i taua takiwa, engari kei roto ke i te whenua i timataria te hoko e te Kawanatanga i te tau 1879. Ko te ki a te pitihana e mea nei kei te araia te hoko a te Kereama e te Ture Ngawha kaore i te tika, notemea kaore ano kia whakawakia taua whenua e te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori, tetahi hoki kua pannitia taua whenua kei te hokona e te Kawanatanga, kei te tino mohiotia hoki tera i taua takiwa. Ki te whakaaro o te Komiti kaore he take kia tangi mai a Te Kereama i runga i tenei mea.
