No. 161, Session II.—Petition of Ereatara Hapu and Others.

Petitionerspray that this petition should be carefully considered, and payment made to them for fighting against the Hauhaus. They assert that the following tribes did not receive payment for Patutahi, amounting to £1,400:—the tribes of Ngatikonahi, Ngaiteriwai, Ngatimatekoraha; and they depute Paora Parau to represent them.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the claim of the petitioners be referred to the Government for inquiry and consideration.

7th November 1879.

Translation.
No. 161, Session II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Ereatara Hapu me etahi atu.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kia ata whakaarohia tenei pitihana a kia utua ratou mo te whawhaitanga ki te Hauhau. E ki ana ratou kaore nga hapu i raro iho nei i utua i roto i nga moni o Patutahi, £1,400:—Ko aua hapu ko Ngatikonohi, ko Ngaiteriwai, me Ngatimatekoraha, a ko te tangata i whakaturia e ratou hei kai-whakahaere ko Paora Parau.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Ko te tono a nga kai-pitihana me tuku atu ki te Kawanatanga kia tirotirohia kia whakaarohia.

Noema 7, 1879.
