No. 187.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hotene Pororaurangi me etahi atu.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana no te mea i whakataua tetahi wahi nui o Puketauhinu ki te hapu o te Whanu-A-Apanui, whakaritea ana kia whakawakia tuarua tia, i tu taua whakawa i Whakatane i te 26 o Hepetema, 1882, Otira no te mea kua kahititia taua whenua he whenua no te karauna, kihai i taea te whakawa ano. E whakahua ana ratou ki tetahi kupu a te Kawanatanga i mea nei, me whakatu tetahi whakawa ake ano mo tenei keehi, heoi e tono ana ki tetahi utu mo a ratou i pau i te nohoanga i te kooti.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

He take raruraru rawa tenei ma tetahi whakawa ake ano te oti ai. Kua rongo te Komiti e kokiritia ana e te Kawanatanga tetahi Pire ki te Paremete hei whakahaere i tenei keehi me etahi atu i rite ki tenei. Heai te whakahaaro o te Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana kia whakaarohia e te Kawanatanga.
