No te 18 o nga ra o Mei nei i hurahia ai te kowhatu whakamahara ki aTe Paea Kingi o Torere, te potiki whakahirahira a Wiremu Kingi. He tokomaha uga iwi 0 ia wahi i tae mai ki taua ra, otira no Te Arawa te nuinga. I reira a Taupopoki, a Te Kiwi Amohau, aTe Keepa a Te Wheoro me etahi'atu, me o ratou minita me Te Waaka raua ko Paora Temuera. I reira hoki a Henare Piahana, kai-karakia o Tauranga me te Koaea a Ngaitai, me Hoera Katipo, kaumatua o Ngaitai. I nui rawa ai tenei wahine i roto i ona hoa rangatira, na tona kaha kite hapai ite whakapono o ona matua, ara ite Hahi o Ingarangi. i man pai iaia te ohaki a tona papa a Wiremu Kingi i mea ai ‘*Kia piri pono ki te kawanatanga, kia u hoki ki te whakapono.” I runga Ite kaha o tona matua ki te awhina ite ture Atua ite ture tangata, no te wa ka tata ia te mate, ka whai kupu iho ia ki ona huanga : “Kotaku whare noho i Torere, ka tapaea atu e ahau ki te Hahi, hei Whare-minita mo te Pariha o Opotiki, ake tonu atu.” Ko nga minita i te hurahanga o te kowhatu ko Kenana Pahewa, ko Paora Temuera, ko te Waaka me Te Wheoro raua ko Henare Piahana Kai-whakaako. Na te mokopuna whakatipu a Te Paea na Mere Wakana i hura te haki hipoki o te kowhatu. Ko taua haki na Wiremu Kingi. he mea homai na te Kawanatanga ki a ia i nga wa ote whawhai o mua.
