Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1877.

[Report on Petition of Karaitiana te Korou and Others.]

Report on Petition of Karaitiana te Korou and Others.

Petitioners pray that a certain block of land in the Wairarapa called Manaia may be restored to them, as it was sold by people who had little or no right to it, and the petitioners did not participate in the payments for the land.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That, the petitioners having utterly failed to establish the allegations of the petition, the Committee cannot recommend their case to the consideration of the House.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

17th October, 1877.

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

E tono ana nga kai-inoi kia whakahokia ki a ratou tetahi piihi whenua kei Wairarapa ko Manaia te ingoa notemea i hokona e nga tangata i whai take iti kihai ranei i whai take ki reira a kahore nga kai-inoi i whiwhi ki tetahi wahi o te utu mo tenei whenua.

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

Kahore rawa i whakatuturutia e nga kai-inoi te tika o nga kupu i roto i te pukpuka-inoi no reira ka kore te Komiti e kaha ki te ki atu ki te Whare kia whakaarohia te tono a nga kai-inoi.

John Bryce,
Tumuaki.
