No. 378.—Pukapuka-inoi a Harete Tamihana me etahi atu.
Ko nga kai-pitihana he tangata Maori no te iwi o Ngatihaua e ki ana i te whakawakanga o te Maungatautari Poraka kihai i tika te whakatau i runga i nga korero, a ko te Ateha he mea whakapatipati. E inoi ana ratou kia whakawakia tuaruatia taua Poraka, kia whakakorea te whakataunga a te Kooti a me whakatu tetahi Komihana hei whiriwhiri i nga mahi whakahaere a te Kooti Whenua Maori, kia whakakorea hoki te Kooti Whenua Maori.
E rite tonu ana te repoata mo tenei pitihana me te ra i tuhia ai ki te Nama 48.
