E ki ana te kai-pitihana i takoto te kupu ki a ia, ara, ina oti te hoko o Te Marunga Poraka, Takiwa o Papati Pei, ka hoatu he rahui mona kia 300 nga eka me te £50 hei utu mo tona hea. E inoi ana ia kia whakatutukitia taua kupu.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga ki uiuia.
