kia te kau mauaru nga marama hei tukunga mai mo
nga pukapuka whakaatu whenua a nga tangata e pa

Na, i te Runanga o te Kawana i noho a Runanga

tikanga o te Ture nei ("New Zealand Settlements

o te Bay of Plenty, ko nga whenua i roto i taua
Takiwa i rahuitia, i tangohia kia whakanohoia ki te
Pakeha, a i kiia hoki ko aua whenua katoa i riro hei
mahinga mo nga tikanga o taua Ture, a mana katoa
nga tikanga i runga timata mai i te ra i puta ai taua
Ki Runanga kua whakahaua tia ake nei.

Na, ko tenei, ka whakaritia nei e te Kooti whakawa
whenua te takiwa he tukunga mai mo nga pukapuka
tono utu mo te tangohanga o taua piihi whenua, koia
tenei kia toru marama, ka timata mai i taua ra anō,
