No. 29.—Pukapuka-inoi a Tamati Pinihi.
E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia utua ki aia nga moni e £45 4s. he toenga no te kaute mo nga kai me te whare i tukuna kia Tawhiao me etahi atu Maori i te tau 1881 me te tau 1882 i runga i te ota a Meiha Mea.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ko te kaute i tukuna mai nei e Pinihi ki te Kawanatanga a i hainatia e Meiha Mea mo nga moni e £36 16s. 6d. me utu, a me tono te Kawanatanga kia whakanohia aua moni ki roto i te pukapuka mo nga moni.
