Ko te ritenga o taua hoko i whakataungia he tika, a i whakapumautia hoki tona whakaaetanga i tenei tau 1875.

Ko te whakataunga a te Kooti:

I ngā āhuatanga o te hoko ki a Kooti ki ana kōrero me te rapu i te pono o āu kōrero, a i whakaarohia e te Kooti e tika ana i tēnei taua ritenga kia tau nga whakaritenga a te hoko i taua whenua ki te Tuhinga Whakamaharatanga. Take. He whakataunga tēnei kua tau ka hoki nga ritenga o taua hoko ki te Tuhinga Whakamaharatanga Take e whakaputaina ana.

A e kore e tukuna kia whakararu aua ritenga i te mea ka hokona te whenua e tetahi atu tangata. Otira, mehemea ka hokona, ka mau ano nga ritenga o te hokonga o aua rakau.
