No. 36 of1880.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Tame Hota (Thomas Short).

Ko te Kai-pitihana he tangata tiaki tea (hoko taonga) he tangata mahi Paparakauta, he tangata noho kainga paamu hoki i Mahurangi Heads, i roto i te Porowini o Akarana, i te omanga o nga herehere Maori i Kawau. E ki ana ia i whakakinongia e aua tangata ana taonga, a e tono ana ia kia hoatu he utu ki a ia.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

E rite ana ano tenei ki etahi atu pitihana maha noatu tono utu penei kua tukua mai nei ki te Whare, kahore nei e whakaaetia e te Paremete; no reira ka kore he kupu tohutohu atu a te Komiti.
