Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1879, No. 2.

[No. 91, Session II.—Petition of Hori Patawhara and Others.]

No. 91, Session II.—Petition of Hori Patawhara and Others.

Petitioners pray that Crown grants for Native reserves may be issued to each grantee; also that each grantee may have the sole right over his own land contained in each grant.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee consider that the prayer of the petition, which seems to refer to lands in the Waikato, should be carried out at the earliest possible time, and recommend it to the immediate and favourable consideration of the Government.

No. 91, Session II.—Te Pakapuka-inoi a Hori Patawhara me etahi atu.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana me whakaputa nga Karauna karaati mo nga wahi rahui Maori ki ia tangata o ia Karauna karaati, kia riro ai ki a ia tonu te mana o tona piihi i roto i te karaati.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

E whakaaro ana tenei Komiti ko te inoi o roto i tenei pitihana mo nga whenua o Waikato, me tere tonu te whakarite, a, ko tenei ka tukua atu ki te Kawanatanga kia wawe ta ratou whakaaro.
