Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

[No. 200.—Petition of Te Pokiha Taranui and Others.]

No. 200.—Petition of Te Pokiha Taranui and Others.

Petitioners state that they have seen a petition from Ngatiwhakaue, asking Government to pay them money for land at Paengaroa. They state that they should participate in any money that is paid. They also pray that the boundary of their land, so often laid down, may be kept inviolate.

I am directed to report as follows: That, as the matter is now being investigated by the Native Land Court, the Committee has no recommendation to make.

[ Translation.]
No. 200.—Pukupuka-inoi a Pokiha Taranui me etahi atu.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kua kite ratou i tetahi pitihana a Ngatiwhakaue e inoi ana ki te Kawanatanga kia utua kia ratou he moni mo Paengaroa e ki ana ratou ko te mea tika me uru tahi ratou ki te tango i nga moni e utua ana. E inoi ana hoki ratou kia kaua e whakarereketia te rohe o to ratou whenua i tenei e takoto nei.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: No te mea kei te whakawakia tenei mea e te Kooti Whenua Maori. Kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
