No. 501, Sess. II., 1887.—Pukapuka-inoi a Werahiko Aterea me etahi atu 162.
E Inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia whakamutua te mahi keri i te awa o Wanganui no te mea kihai ratou i whakaae ki taua mahi.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: No te mea kua whakamutua te mahi e korerotia nei kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
