Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1877.

[Report on Petition of Heke, a Maori Chieftainness]

The petitioner prays that certain land, described in the petition as being situated at Kaikoura, should be returned to her.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee have not been able to obtain any specific evidence in support of the petitioner's claim, and have therefore no opinion to report.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

21st November, 1877.

E tono ana te kai-inoi kia whakahokia ki a ia etahi whenua e kiia ana kei Kaikoura.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei atu ki te Whare:—

Kahore i taea e te Komiti tetahi mohiotanga tuturu mo runga i te tono a te kai-inoi no reira i kore ai he whakaaro ma ratou.
