Report on Petition of Te Paru te Mea and Others.
Petitioners pray that the Native Land Court Suspension Bill introduced during the present session may not be passed into law.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, as the proposed legislation on the subject of Native lands has been withdrawn from the consideration of the House for the present session, the Committee do not deem it necessary to report a specific opinion on the subject-matter of this petition, but recommend its contents to the consideration of the House when the proposed legislation with regard to the management of Native lands is brought before it.
John Bryce,
Chairman.
