E pa,— Tari o nga Whenua me nga Kai-ruri, Poneke, 16 Hune, 1899. E whakahonore atu ana maua i a maua c tuku atu nei hoki i tenei ripoata (ara te ripoata tuatoru) mo runga mo te whakataunga whenua ki nga Maori c noho whenua kore ana i Te Waipounamu. He iti noa iho nga mea i oti i muri mai o te tukunga atu o tera ripoata (i te 30 o Hune, 1898), notemea i te raruraru maua ki a maua mahi ake ano, a kaore maua i watea kia hui tahi maua i tenei tau, engari ano no te marama kua hori ake nei. Kua tukuna mai nga ripoata a nga Kai-ruri, whakaatu mai i nga whenua c tika ana hei whakataunga iho mo nga Maori kaore ano nei kia whiwhi whenua. I te mea kua ata whakaarohia aua wahi, kua tonoa atu kite Kawanatanga kia wehea ko enei whenua hei pera, ara :— Eakiura ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 7,600 eka. Wairaurahiri ... ... ... ... ... ... 50,000 eka. Kua whakaae te Kawanatanga ki tenei kupu atu a maua. Ko te whenua i Eakiura he whenua ahua pai ano, a c rite tahi ana hoki tona ahua kite whenua o roto o te poraka c piri tahi atu ana, ara, te poraka whenua i Lord's Eiver, kua oti nei te whakatau.

I runga i nga korero kua tukuna mai ki a maua, he whenua ahua pai ano, c tupuria ana etc ngaherehere. Tera pea c kitea a muri ake nei he tino pukepuke rawa etahi wahi c kore c pai hei kainga whakanohonohonga tangata, engari me wehe atu aua wahi ki waho c ka ruritia te whenua. Kua oti te ruri oTe Waiau Poraka, a kua watea kia nohoia c nga tangata. Ko nga tangata c tika ana kia whakawhiwhia kite whenua i Eakiura me Wairaurahiri c tae ana pea kite 1,828 tangata (ara c uru ana ki tenei tatau nga kereme o Marlborough me era atu kereme katoa c mohiotia ana inaianei).
