No. 1189, 1901. —Pitihana a Te Haenga Paretipua.
E ki ana te kai-pitihana kua tangohia hetia e te Peeke o Niu Tireni te pito whaka-te-rawhiti o Matuku Poraka, a e inoi ana kia whakaorangia tona mate.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki whakaaro o te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia tino uiuia a tetahi wa tata e taea ana.
