No. 294, 1899.—Pitihana a Tuteao Kiwi me etahi atu tokorima.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kaore i tika a Mata Kamura (Mrs. Charlton) hei hoko i Pouewe Poraka (Kawhia), i hokona nei e te Kawanatanga i te tau 1882. E inoi ana ratou kia uiuia taua hoko, a kia whakahokia te whenua ki a ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria.
