Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1879, No. 2.

[No. 117, Session I.—Petition of Henare Kaihau and Ahipene Kaihau.]

No. 117, Session I.—Petition of Henare Kaihau and Ahipene Kaihau.

The petitioners claim compensation for the loss of the great canoe "Toki-a-tapiri," taken and injured during the war.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the owners of the canoe were entitled, as loyal Natives, to compensation for its loss; and the Committee recommend that the sum of £700 be granted in satisfaction, to be reduced by any amount which may appear to have been paid on account of this claim.

No. 117, Session I.—Pukapuka-inoi a Henare Kaihau me Ahipene Kaihau.

E tono ana nga kai-pitihana kia utua raua mo te pakarutanga o te waka nui o "Toki-a-tapiri," i mauria, i taka kinotia i te tatiwa o te whawhai.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

No te mea ko nga tangata nona taua waka, he tangata piri pono ki te Kuini, a e tika ana kia utua raua mo taua waka. E mea ana tenei Komiti ko nga moni hei whakaritenga mo taua waka kia whitu rau pauna (£700) a ki te kitea ake i muri nei kua utua ano etahi moni mo taua waka me tango ano i roto i enei moni (£700).
