No. 35, 1902. —Pitihana a Hapareta Rore Pukekohatu me etahi atu tekau ma waru.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia mahia etahi tikanga e kore ai o ratou whenua, i te takiwa o Wairau, e ngaro i nga waipuke.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia, me te tapiri atu a te Komiti i tenei kupu, me whakamaori nga ripoata e pa ana ki tenei take i tukua mai nei ki te Komiti e te Tari mo nga Rori a me tuku atu ki nga kai-pitihana.
