No. 283.—Pitihana a Edward Douglas.
E Inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia mahia he ture hei whakaora i tetahi mate e kiia ana e ia kua pa ki tana wahine me ta raua whanau i runga i te mahi a te Kooti.
E whai honore ana ahau ki te ripoata ki te whakaaro a te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga, me te whai kupu atu ano ma te Tumuaki Kai-whakawa o te Kooti Whenua Maori e whakaatu te aronga o te Ture e mahia hei whakaora i te kai-pitihana me etahi atu tangata e pera ana ano te ahua o te mate.
