No. 129, Session I., 1879.—Petition of Hana Hakariwhi and Others.
The petitioners pray that the Native Land Court may be done away with, and that the investigation of Native title be left entirely to Committees of the Maori people.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the Committee does not see its way to make any recommendation to the House, but refers it, as a matter of public policy, to the consideration of the Government.
17th October 1879.
