No. 234, 1889.—Pukapuka-inoi a Riria Tini Rongoa (No. 1.)
E Ki ana te kai-pitihana i riihitia tetahi wahi o tona whenua i Opunake ki a te Kakira mo nga tau e 21, a kahore ano i utua nga moni reti, a kua hokona e te Kakira tana riihi. Heoi e hiahia ana te kai-pitihana kia whakakorea taua riihi.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E whakaaro ana tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia nga tikanga i te Kaitiaki o te katoa.
