Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1876.

Report on Petition of Ruiha Teira and 3 Others

Report on Petition of Ruiha Teira and 3 Others.

This is a petition from Ruiha Teira and 3 others, members of the Taranaki tribe. They state that some of their land near Taranaki has been confiscated, but that they took no part in the rebellion; and that the justice of their case has been acknowledged by the Government, but redress has not been afforded. They pray the House to give them relief.

I am directed to report as follows:—The Committee regret that the time at their disposal has not been sufficient to enable them to make such inquiries as would justify them in reporting an opinion on the subject-matter of this petition.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

25th October, 1876.
