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

No. 85, Session II.—Petition of George Vesey Stewart

No. 85, Session II.—Petition of George Vesey Stewart.

Petitioner states that he purchased a lease of 100 acres from Enoka to Whanake in 1875, that he has erected his homestead upon it, and that he obtained an extension of his lease for one hundred years; but owing to some restrictions in the grant, he was unable to register. He prays that His Excellency may be recommended to remove the restriction.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the matter be referred to the Government—the Committee being of opinion that if the transaction is not in violation of law, and is equitable in itself, it should be given effect to.

23rd October 1879.
