[Report on Petition of Renato Kawepo and Others]

Report on Petition of Renato Kawepo and Others.

The petitioners complain that the passing of the Native Land Sales Suspension Bill will inflict a grievous wrong upon the Maori people, and ask that their lands may not be interfered with.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee recommend the petition to the careful consideration of the Government and the Assembly, in connection with the Native Land Sales Suspension Bill now before the House of Representatives.

John Sheehan,
Chairman.

25th September, 1877.

[Translation.]
Ko te Kupu a te Komiti mo runga i te Pukapuka-inoi a Renata Kawepo ma.

E whakaatu mai ana nga kai-inoi i to ratou pouri mo te Pire Whakatarewa i nga hoko Whenua Maori, ma te whakatuturutanga hei Ture ka pa ai he mate nui ki te Iwi Maori, a e tono ana ratou kia kaua e whakararurarua o ratou whenua.

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

E mea ana te Komiti ma te Kawanatanga me te Runanga e ata whiriwhiri nga tikanga o tenei pukapuka-inoi ina korerotia te Pire whakatarewa i nga Hoko Whenua Maori kei te aroaro o te Whare inaianei.

John Sheehan,
