the money did not reach me. There were £6 from the second allocation of the money, and £6 came to me to pay for the canoe which was broken, and for the worker. If I went to Port Nicholson, I would have nothing else to say, to say at the court sitting. The only thing I would say is that the money never got to me. And neither did your letter get to me. I heard it was burnt by a Pakeha. Even if I went to the court sitting, this would be all I would have to say at the court. I've nothing else to say, but my face won't be in the court. You go ahead with the investigation. My only statement for it is this that the £6 from the first allocation never got to me. Those later came to me, but the one at the start did not. Three lots of money came to me, £6 from one allocation, £3 from another, £1 10s from another, but the £6 from the first lot did not reach me, it disappeared with the Pakeha. Well, I won't go there because my son is sick. From your good friend, Poaha Tamaiakina
nga moni ki au. E ono nga pauna no te tuarua homaitanga o nga moni, e ono hoki nga pauna ka tae mai ki au hei utu mo te waka i pakaru, mo te kaimahi ano hoki. Ki te mea mai tae atu au ki Poneke, kahore he korero ke atu maku, hei korero i te whakawakanga. Heoi ano taku korero, kahore nga moni i tae mai ki ahau. Kahore hoki tau pukapuka i tae mai ki ahau. Kua rongo au i tahu e te Pakeha ki te ahi. Ahakoa haere atu au ki te whakawakanga, ko aku korero ano enei mo te whakawakanga. Kahore he korero ke atu maku, engari ko toku kanohi e ngaro i te whakawakanga. Me whakawakia e koutou. Tena ko aku korero mo te whakawakanga, koia ano tenei, kahore i tae mai nga pauna e ono o te tuatahi. No muri iho ka tae mai. Ko te timatanga homaitanga, kahore i tae mai. Ka toru nga homaitanga moni i tae mai ki ahau, e ono nga pauna o tetahi homaitanga, e toru nga pauna o tetahi homaitanga, kotahi pauna tene hereni o tetahi homaitanga, e ono nga pauna o te tuatahi kahore i tae mai, kua ngaro ki te Pakeha. E kore au e tae atu i te mate o toku tamaiti. Na te hoa aroha, na Poaha Tamaiakina
