No. 53, Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Tini Kerei Taiaroa.

E ki ana te kai-pitihana na Taiaroa i mate ra i te tau 1863 i hoatu ki a ia i te tau 1859, tetahi piihi whenua 100 eka te nui. Na no te tau 1868 i tu te Kooti whenua Maori a wahia ana e Patoromu taua whenua hoatu ana ki a Kiti Pana e 50 eka, ki a Riki Pana e 50 eka, e hara i te mea na te kai-pitihana i whakaae kia peratia. E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia whakahaerea e te Paremete tetahi huarahi marama e oti ai tenei raruraru.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

No te mea he whakatu riiwhi ke tenei mea mo tetahi tangata mate i roto i tetahi whenua a ma te Kooti anake e oti ai, no reira kaore he kupu tohutohu a te Komiti.
