Report on the Petition of Hoani Enoka and 10 Others (No. 1).
This is a petition from members of the Rangitane tribe, complaining that moneys accruing to them from a reserve called Pukatea is paid to other people.
I am directed to report as follows:—That the allegation of the petitioners, that the reserves referred to in the petition were made for the exclusive benefit of the Rangitane tribe, is not borne out by the evidence taken by the Committee. The Committee cannot therefore recommend the prayer of the petition to the favourable consideration of the House.
John Bryce,
Chairman.
[Translation.]
Ko te Kupu a te Komiti mo runga i te Pukapuka-inoi a Hoani Enoka me ona hoa 10.
He pukapuka-inoi tenei na etahi tangata o te iwi Rangitane e whakaatu ana i to ratou pouri mo te utunga ki nga tangata ke o nga moni e puta ana mo ratou i tetahi porowhita ko Pukatea te ingoa.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei atu ki te Whare:—Ko nga kupu a nga kai-inoi e ki nei i whakaritea aua porowhita e whakahuatia ana i roto i te pukapuka inoi mo ratou ake mo Rangitane kihai i mana i runga i nga korero i rangona i te aroaro o te Komiti. Koia i kore ai te Komiti e kaha ki te whai kupu ki te Whare kia whakaarohia paitia te tono a nga kai-inoi.
