[Translation.]
No. 136, Sess. II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Paora te Amohau me etahi atu e 565.

E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia piri tonu nga tikanga ki te Tiriti o Waitangi o te tau 1840, me "Te Ture Nui o Niu Tireni, 1852," e mea nei me mau tonu ki nga Maori te mana me te whakahaere o a ratou taonga me o ratou whenua.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E tono ana te Komiti kia tukuna tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.

7 o Tihema, 1887.
