No. 358.—Pitihana a Hoani Erueti me tetahi atu.
E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakaturia raua hei kai-tiaki mo te Motu o Hotunui, e tata ana ki te Motu Rakiura, a kia whakaaetia ma raua anake e mahi nga titi o taua Motu.
E whai honore ana ahau ki te ripoata ki te whakaaro a te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga.
