No. 334.—Pukapuka-inoi a Paratene Tunuiarangi me etahi atu 19.
Ko nga kai-pitihana no te iwi nei o Ngatihau, e inoi ana kia kaua e unuhia nga here hoko i runga o ratou whenua, penei me nga tikanga e mau nei i roto i te Pire Whenua. Maori e takoto nei i te aro-aro o te Whare.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
