No. 1287, 1901. —Pitihana a
Hana Paraone me etahi atu kotahi mano e rua rau e waru tekau ma rima.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakawatearia o ratou whenua kia kore ai e eke ki runga i aua whenua to mana o te Ture Whakahaere i nga Whenua Maori me etahi atu Ture.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, i te mea e pa ana te inoi a tenei pitihana ki nga tikanga whakahaere a te Kawanatanga, kaore kau a te Komiti kupu mo runga i tenei pitihana.
