ka noho i tetahi kainga, ka haere atu ranei i tetahi kainga
ki tetahi atu kainga me taua ropu, a ka whakaaro te Kauni-
hera, tetahi Komiti Marae ranei, tera e pa he raruraru, he
mate ranei ki nga tangata o tetahi kainga, ki tetahi ranei o

(F.) Nga Kai-hoko Taonga.
(Tekiona 16, Rarangi 13.)

Me pa enei tikanga e whai ake nei ki nga Inia, ki nga
Ahiria, me era atu tangata harihari haere i te taonga hei
hokohoko ki roto i nga kainga Maori o roto o te takiwa
ara:—
(1.) Kia whiwhi rawa taua tangata ki te raihana a te

i nga kainga Maori o te takiwa.
(2.) Ko taua raihana me penei i te Ahua B, a ka whai-
mana ia mo te takiwa katoa o te Kaunihera a ko

tetahi ranei o nga mema o te Kaunihera i whaka-
manaia e te Kaunihera hei pera ki te whakaputa
i taua raihana.
(4.) Ko nga moni katoa e utug ana mo nga raihana me
tuku ki te tari o te Kaunihera.
(5.) Ki te pokanoa te tangata kaore ona raihana ki te
hokohoko taonga i roto i nga kainga Maori o te
takiwa ka whiua ia ki te moni kia kaua e neke
ake i te rima pauna.
Ka ahei te Tiamana, te Karaka ranei, tetahi mema
ranei o te Kaunihera, te Tiamana ranei o te Komiti Marae o
tetahi kainga, kei reira nei tetahi hui e tu ana, ki te whaka-
puta raihana ki tetahi tangata e hiahia ana ki te hokohoko
taonga i taua hui, ko te utu mo taua raihana kia tekau
hereni. Ko te mana o taua raihana mo te wa anake o taua
hui, kaua e roa atu. Ki te hokohoko taonga tetahi tangata
i taua hui, a kaore ona raihana penei kaore ranei ona
raihana i raro i etahi atu o nga tikanga-whakahaere i runga
ake nei, ka ahei kia whiua ia ki te moni kia kaua e neke atu
i te rima pauna.

(G.) Nga Purei Moni.
(Tekiona 16, Rarangi 15.)

E kore e ahei kia hangaia he whare piriote, kia whaka-
turia ranei he teepu piriote ki roto i tetahi kainga Maori, ki
roto ranei i tetahi wahi o te takiwa, haunga ia nga taone i
ata panuitia hei taone, me nga kainga o nga Pakeha :
Engari ka pa noa atu nga tikanga o tenei rarangi ki nga rota
Maori i roto i nga taone Maori. Ki te takahia tenei tikanga-
whakahaere ka whiua te tangata ki te moni kia kaua e neke
atu i te rua tekau ma rima pauna.

Nga Komiti Marae.

Ka ahei te Kaunihera ki te tuku i katoa i tetahi ranei
o ona mana i raro i nga tikanga whakahaere kua whakata-
kotoria ake nei, ki tetahi Komiti Marae, a hei reira ka whai-
mana taua Komiti ki te whakahaere i aua mana i roto i tona
kainga.
Ka ahei te Komiti Marae ki te whiu a ki te whaina
mo te takahanga i tetahi tikanga whakahaere, engari mehe-
mea kaore e utua taua whaina i roto i te takiwa i whakaritea,
me tuku atu e te Tiamana o te Komiti te whakaatu o taua
takahanga me nga kupu whakamarama o te take me te kore-
ga i utua te whaina, ki te Tiamana o te Kaunihera.
